Question Posted Thursday November 22 2007, 3:31 pm
I need help losing weight at a good, healthy pace.
Recently, I was diagnosed with PCOS and I read that losing weight could help with the negative symptoms (i.e. diabetes, acne, infertility).
I have don't have any motivation besides that since the whole thing depresses me.
Can anyone think of a good workout plan for me please? I really need this. <3

As long as you eat meat, fruit and veg and some potatoes or pasta, you should be ok. Balance your meals throughout the day. make sure you always have breakfast, a lunch and an evening meal. Try not to eat crisps, chocolates and cakes too often. every single thing you can eat is good for you, or bad for you, depending on how much of it you eat. But none of this will help if you don't exercise. I don't know what the condition you have will do, but I will say that you can do the best you can, and if you do struggle to keep to a balanced lifestyle, you can always speak to your doctor who will help you [ Foundsoul's advice column | Ask Foundsoul A Question ]

its so easy if you stick to it. basically, each food item is a certain number of points [it explains all of this is their packet] and you get a certain amouint of points a day depending on your weight. you can weigh in whenever you want and they keep track of all of it for you through a computer. its easy and you can still eat whatever you want. [they stress using smaller portions while still enjoying what you're eating]
another idea is if you dont want to change the way you're eating [which you're gonna have to if you want good results] is just do little things. dont have the clicker next to you when you watch tv. get up and change it. do 10 sit ups and pushups a day and increase the amount a few each week. dont drive, walk if its in a reasonable distance.
