So...Im here again because I havent lost the weight. I need to lose about 20lbs before I can get a date.

I know that I want this. I need this. My fatty liver, and my PCOS would be alliviated if not completely gone.

why cant I lose the weight? Ive lost some with dieting. I have gone to the gym but not like I should. I get so embarassed just walking up there. sometimes I drive all the way there and cant bring myself to go in.

I just need to knowif anyone else has gone through this. is it really the fear keeping me from doing it? I know I can lose the weight within a few weeks but Ive been doing it since July 23.

I hate myself for keeping myself from what I know I need.

They just want to make sure you are doing for the right reasons and that you understand that it will be a lifestyle change. It is pretty easy. Don't worry the psych eval. Good luck on the last 10 lbs. You can do it.

Hi there, fellow Pcos sister here. As you know that makes us insulin resistant. I have taken off 40 pounds by eliminating sugars of all types and eating Turkey chef salads A LOT. The trick is to keep your Blood sugar level. I have replaced breakfast with a high quality protein drink and some days I also skip dinner and have a protein drink. No breads and lost of high protein. Out for dinner? Chicken and veggies only. Lunch? tuna fish, plain. Find something you like without the carbs and your blood sugar will stabilize and then the pounds come off. Best of luck to you, I know the battle is touch and temptations lurk everywhere.

Thank you SO much for your responses everyone. I havent been able to check them as often as I'd like but you guys and gals are amazing. Im so gratefu for you all.

So...since that post Ive lost 12 lbs. I am 10lbs away from getting a surgery date.

I have my psyc eval on the 17th!

Im getting closer and closer everyday, and it feels great.

I did the gym dedicated for about 2 weeks straight and hvae kind of started slacking again but mostly do to crzy work schedule. Im more "in the zone" when im at the gym than i used to be. Im on a low carb diet and it seems to be working. Again, thank you ALL SO MUCH.

I have another question....what exactly are they looking for in the pysc eval? What can make them decide you're not ready??

Thanks everyone!!!

Good job!!!!

I am so happy that you have gotten more then half way through the needed weight loss! Keep up the low carb dieting and if you get bored at the gym try to go to a local track and walk the stadium stairs..those kick some major butt in a short amount of time. I am trying to get my outside exercise as much as possible before it gets to wet and cold to do so. Thanks to crazy California weather it has been in the 80's this week.
