[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:55 - have you been checked out for any thyroid/hormone issues?  if you are truly working out and eating well, you should see results.  the other consideration is that perhaps you are not eating enough.  if your body is in starvation mode, you will not lose.  also, make sure you are weight training as well.  cardio is not enough.  good luck.[/quote]

I have PCOS and hypothyroidism.  I am on medications for both, as well as a supervised diet (1500 calories/day, 40/30/30).  I exercise six days a week, an hour of cardio and then weight training, and I am always on the go.

So goes PCOS and hypothyroidism.  I have been able to lose weight in the past, slowly, slowly, slowly.  But not recently.  I can't tell you how awful it is to work so hard and see zero results.  My doctors just smile and shrug and say, "At least you aren't infertile, and you need to do this for your health, not just for vanity."  I can't use weight loss medications because I am breastfeeding, and could become pregnant.  Every once in a while, when I feel I can't take it anymore, I pay my $35 copay just to be told there is nothing else anyone can do.  I just need to keep doing what I am doing.

For some people, this is their medical reality.  It's humiliating and depressing, isn't it?[/quote]
