losing weight with PCOS and Hypothyriodism

Hello,

I am back, I used to use this site a few years ago, then I kind of gave up because after 6 to 7 weeks of really kicking my own butt I could barely get 10 pounds off...anyway I am back I recently found out that I have Poly cystic ovarian syndrome and hypothyriodism. I am now more motivated to get this under control not just for the weight of it, but health wise I WILL get diabetes and a host of other issues if I dont get my weight down and change my lifestyle.

I am one medication for my thyriod and my PCOS and my doctor has also put me on phentermine, I have already lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks(3.5 pounds a week) and I am trying to keep it up so that I can lose more. I dont know if anyone else here has health issues that can make them gain weight or make it hard to lose like I do, but if anyone does it would be nice to know what others are going through.
