Overhaul

I've never seen this show before - it was on this evening on Channel Nine. Anyway, I wasn't watching but DH was. It's kinda like The Biggest Loser (and it's Australian), and he said there was one woman on it with PCOS, who had to quit the programme as she got pregnant! Just thought it was interesting and wondered if anyone had seen the show or been following her story? You hardly ever here mention of PCOS in the media (except when Jessica Rowe told her story to Woman's Weekly) but when you do, it really makes your ears prick up, KWIM.

Didn't see the show, but am interested. I knym about ears pricking up when ever you hear anything about PCOS. I wonder if the following episodes will mention it again?

I did see the show that she announced her pregnancy (and mentioned PCOS). I didn't follow the series, but did see that episode. She was about 1/2 way through the 'diet' which went for 12 weeks in total I think and found out she was pregnant. They said the weight loss is probably what helped her fall pg. She was very happy - gives me hope that if I ever lose this flubber I'm carrying I may have a miraculous spontaneous conception for #3!

the blonde who's husband was on the show too (I think her name is Kate?) has PCOS. She's the deputy editor of take 5 magazine and they have been following her overhaul story every week!
