PCOS Weight Loss Journey
I began my new life on March 01 2007
I have lost 102 pounds to date.
I did NOT have surgery, go on a “diet” or any other gimick.
If you have any questions about my weight loss or PCOS, feel free to ask.
UPDATE everyone. I’ve lost more weight since the video. I am now 186.2 as of this morning. I plan on making a video of exactly WHAT I did..b/c I have been flooded with questions. Just give me a little time. Thanks, guys.
***UPDATE*** So the weight loss and military goals have come to a screeching hault. I found out on Sept. 23 that we are PREGNANT!! completely naturally!! With PCOS! I didn’t believe that was even possible! Anywho, keep the positive feedback coming and keep up your own journeys..they are oh so worth it!!

I’ve been tested for diabetes, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance- everything that would cause this crazy weight gain but there’s nothing. I’m so exhausted all the time now and I feel so ugly and disgusting, my boyfriend of 2 years left me for this skinny chick a week ago and I’m so upset because I can’t lose weight, everytime I eat healthfully and go to the gym, I just end up gaining more weiht and I’m so tired of doctors telling me that I’m just lazy. I wish someone, somewhere could help me
I wish someone could tell me what to do. I used to be so athletic but then my weight jumped from 180 to 220 despite having intense rowing practice for 3-4 hours 6x a week and swimming every other day. And then it started getting harder for me to do sports and my periods stopped and I was diagnosed with PCOS but by then I was 250 and I lost like 25 pounds but now I’m all the way up to 275 at 5′10 and I can’t walk up stairs without getting out of breath and no doctor can help me
I congratulate you on ur success and woild appricate if you would share ur weight loss tips with me. I have suffered long enough and i am ready to mak a life change for the better. Recently married in sept this year and looking forward to becoming a mum one day! Life change comes first, without it i can’t have a baby.
Congrats! However, HOW did you do it?
Man u made me cry because i was exactly 290 lbs and ive been fighting it. I am down to 250 so i am winning but it is a struggle every day. I give up for a week then im back going strong. Your video gives me alot of inspiration to keep on trucking through all the hard times and that it can actually be done. So thanks and best of luck to you!
Way to go…Let me just say that I have suffered with pcos since I was diagnosed in 1998 at he age of 24. All I have ever wanted was to be a Mommy, my husband and I tried for years with fertility treatments and all and nothing. I like you knew I had to lose weight so I did. I went from 220 to 162. Then guess what…pregnant… After just having baby number 3 on 11/03/08 I am back on the weight loss journey. Just a little advice….just enjoy your pregnancy…. You CAN lose it again. Good luck
I am so proud of you cyster:)Such an inspiration. i knew in my heart for yrs i had pcos but my doc just ignored me & told me my symptoms were nothing.i went to a specialist and found out i was right. i was overweight…this was about 5wks ago. so far i lost 8lbs which considering the amount of calories i burn and the foods i eat i should have lost at least 11. i know w/ pcos its harder. i am scared to take the pill and gain weight. according to the BMI i am now only 1lb overweight!!!:)yayy
Well done!!! You look GREAT!! What did you eat? I can never think of healthy things to eat, so end up with the same old food…
WTG! You’ve done awesome! I also have Pcos. And am trying my best to lose, and I WILL!!! I’ll have to do a video when I get to goal!!!! Good job Cyster!

Thank you! I’ve recently decided 2 months ago to loose my pcos weight. I have a 10 month old (took us three years) and have had it with the weight. My goal weight is 145, slightly higher than my wedding weight 6 years ago. I have 30 left and you motivated me, because I’ve maintained for the last 3 weeks. Thanks again! You look great and congrats!
My best female friend from high school developed PCOS in adult hood. She has achieved some great things with her life after same serious lows. You have the same smile. Strong, free and beautiful. Looking great!!
Were you on medication to control PCOS during this lifestyle change, and was weight the only symptom you were experiencing?
Nice, vid and great progress_ Just started my lifestyle change about 3 days ago and so far so good lol… Its going to be hard but I know I can do it
Thanks for posting this! This is just what I needed to help get me motivated!
I woke up this morning tired,and I decided to youtube weight lose with PCOS, and saw your video. Thanks for posting because I really was SO TIRED… I am tired of gaining weight and tired of people not understanding what it feels like to have PCOS.Especially when I was always a normal weight and in 2 years gained 70 pounds. But thanks for the video.
