My endocrinologist has diagnosed me with PCOS and put me on metformin. Anyone had good results for weight loss? Bad? Neutral? Tips on what to do or avoid eating? Thank you!

I totally lost round three. I'm up five pounds over my round three goal weight :( It didn't help spraining my ankle at the end of May, I think that's what really hindered my progress since I usually walk every evening. Tried to make good food choices, and I did for the most part. I think reducing my portions to make up for the lack of activity would have been the trick but when you are sitting around, not able to move around well, I find myself looking in the pantry or fridge out of boredom. But starting today, game on!! I'm back to walking (carefully) and staying away from the fridge :) I can do this!!!

Am so grateful to DietBet. I just submitted my official weigh-in to my other DietBet challenge and squeaked by with 0.1 pounds to spare. The reason for my gratitude: I returned from a two-week vacation on Friday and knew I had to get back on the wagon if I hoped to meet the other game’s round’s weight goal by today. DietBet gave me the incentive to make sure I ate right (for me that’s a combination of a low carb diet and intermittent fasting). This morning I not only made the weight goal, but I’m finally back in ketosis so I know my body is burning fat. Good luck to everybody for next week’s final weigh-in!

Returned from a two week vacation on Friday and was worried I wouldn’t make this round’s goal. But fasting and low carb worked their magic again-probably more important than having reached the goal this morning is that I’m finally firmly back in ketosis after being out of it for the last 10 days. After probably 35 years of yo-yo dieting and feeling like the scale is a nasty enemy that jumps around for no apparent reason I finally feel like I’ve found the eating (and fasting) path that works for me and makes me feel like I have some control, as though my food choices are finally honestly reflected in the weight on the scale. I still have 15 pounds to go to get to where the official charts will deem me as being « normal » weight instead of « obese » (when I started my first DietBet challenge in January) or « overweight » like when I started this challenge. While I’ll still be focused on losing weight I’m now going to start focusing on fasting, autophagy and strength training to try to get rid of this loose skin. Thank you, DietBet, for providing the weekly incentive to stay the course!!! Good luck with this round’s weigh-in everyone!

Hey all! I'm back. Got off keto to switch to calorie counting and more carbs after my birthday and never could get back on track afterwards. I'm back on keto for 3 days now along with intermittent fasting (eating between 12pm-8pm) and I feel better again.

I noticed that I was aching more, craving more carbs and sweets, and never really feeling full even though I was eating the same amount of calories. I actually gained weight so decided to go back to keto even though my weight loss had slowed down a lot. This time though, I changed the macro ratios to allow a little more carbs and protein based on my lean body mass instead of the generic 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs.

Now I just need to get my exercise back on track and I'm good. Got some catching up to do though as I basically lost 2 weeks and round 2 due to the switch. Hopefully the changes I made this time will rev up the weight loss.

Hi there! It seems that the app has updated!! I can't find the Weigh-in section of this new set up :/ Just wanted to make sure we still have like 48 hrs to weigh in?

i did my official weekly weigh in on Sunday and was disappointed by the minimal loss. I weighed myself this morning and i've nearly hit my 2nd month's goal! I've dieted and exercised many many many times in my life. This is the FIRST TIME it has worked. I am doing intermittent fasting 18:6 and the results are AMAZING!!!!
