PCOS: It may be a bit more difficult to lose weight with PCOS, but it is certainly possible. Consider a personal trainer, if possible, or YMCA class. Exercise is very important in addition to caloric restriction and good nutritional choices. Metformin is a medication that can cause weight loss and help women with PCOS become pregnant as well.
