Default New to the board-

Hello All,

I was diagnosed with PCOS over 5 years ago, I have tried Metformin for years, and has not really helped with the weight loss as the OB advised. I have a normal cycle, never miss one, but I have a very hard time losing weight, and have excessive facial hair on my chin and neck.

I am at my wits end, and not to mention I have a sweet tooth like no other so that doesn't help with the insulin resistance and weight loss.

Last year I went to the gym everyday, worked out for 1.5 hours daily, cut back on sweets, and tried to eat right, and lost 15 pounds, but then gradually gained it back.

I am reviewing the alternative meds portion of the forum, I bought Saw Palmetto yesterday, and vitamin B-complex to see if that would help in my journey to lose weight and minimize hair growth

If anyone has any additional suggestions, I would love to hear them
