Okay, so this may seem really pathetic but I seriously need help with losing weight. I have been religiously going to the gym since August of 2017, changing up the workouts, going in the mornings or going in the evenings during the week (depending when and if I get up in the mornings) or usually in morning or afternoon on weekends. But I have yet to find something that helps me consistently lose the weight. I juggle the same 20 pounds constantly. I do pretty good with watching what I eat for the most part but I still slip up and it's really upsetting and frustrating. I also have PCOS (Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome) and hypothyroidism which make it EXTREMELY difficult to lose weight. Does anyone have any tips for those health issues that I can basically walk over them and lose the weight any way? I've tried just about every fad diet you can think of so I don't want to do those. I just want a lifestyle change, a plan per say, that I can stick to. PLEASE HELP! I'm desperate. I go to the Planet Fitness on Whipple Ave if there are any Canton Ohio Brides looking for a gym buddy to workout with. I have 8 months to go til the wedding...

This. I've read many things about keto being helpful for the medical issues you're facing. Good luck!

I'm not good with the whole workout thing.. as i'm pretty lazy and struggling to drop the pounds i want to. I've been told that more reps not more weight is a good place to start, also diet is key!! best of luck! you're going to be a stunning bride!

You could try intermittent fasting. That is what I am doing right now.

Since you have medical conditions, I recommend going to a nutritionist or a professional dietician with experience in helping people that have medical issues.

I have PCOS and hypothyroidism that we can never keep regulated with medication so my levels are always ridiculously high. I saw a nutritionist to get some help. She has me eating 30-45 grams of carbs at each meal (3 per day) and protein with every meal. Also I had to eat 2-3 snacks per day of 15-25 carbs. I am down 85lbs so far in 2 years with about 50 more to go. I had tried every fad diet, weight loss program, pills, vitamins, shakes whatever was on the market...nothing worked. Just cutting out most of my soda and drinking more water and eating regularly it helped me lose the weight and keep it off. I don't work out much, just my normal day to day walking at work and such and I'm still losing.

What you put in your body makes much more of a difference than working out.
The meal plan i used (and lost 60lbs in about 9 months!) Was high protein, moderate carbs, and low fat. It can be boring but it got the job done!

There are some good tips mentioned, and yes, it may be better to speak with a Registered Dietitian who specializes in PCOS. Another thought is to ask you healthcare professional, or a Dietitian about CoQ10. There is some research on it for PCOS support.

You can not out run a bad diet. The gym is really good, but 90% of weight loss is diet.
Try taking all sugar and most dairy out. Yes it is hard for the first few weeks, but you can do it
