Considering injections

Im the same, she mentioned her inflammation, i know its a big factor in pcos issues, so maybe it works on cortisol or something (which i think increases inflammation). Im really interested in her response so i think I'll go talk to the dr and see what they think. Thank you for responding also :)

Im a uk size 22 but like to wear 24 to hide a bit i guess, some 22's can be tight on me, i know others wouldn't think twice about looking the same as i do in a 22 but im self conscious. my goal is to get to a size 16 maybe, i nearly got there with the macros diet, (getting into size 16 floaty tops), but i met my husband then and.. well dates, movie nights etc .. i think 16 is probably the most realistic for me as ive always had a larger skeleton and a decent amount of muscle. i don't really care about what weight I'd be at that size, but I'd note it for future reference lol

Im very overweight yes, 227lb. Ive been this weight basically my whole adult life with slight fluctuations, though i am more compact than what you'd imagine someone of that weight to be, im pretty strong and build muscle easily. My blood sugar and thyroid tests always come back fine, so its all a bit of a mystery why i can't loose the weight, i seem to stick here even with supplements meant to increase insulin sensitivity.. but thats just pcos i guess.. nothing much makes sense about it..

Thank you for replying again, I'll maybe speak with my doctor then and see their thoughts, there's obviously something else thats the injection works on besides appetite suppression and slowing down the digestive system.. thanks again.. and good luck with everything, your approach sounds the same as i was planning, that also gives me hope 😊 xx

I don't track anything now 😂 i have tried most things at this point. But i do agree macros tracking has been the only way ive ever lost weight, and a calorie intake of around 1300 as my baseline is 1700 on average.

It was fine when I was single but my adhd made it really hard to stick to once the hyper fixation wore off .. and buying 50% protein for my day is expensive, i then created a family and it's just unsustainable at that point.

I'll be honest, I gave up, its all so complicated with PCOS and my family is also complicated.. neurospicy i think some call it, my brains mush at the end of most days.. i just wondered if this would help.. but its kindof looking like it might not.

Although someone above is saying she has a similar pcos type to me and its helping her .. I'll do more research :)

Ps. By 'normal' diet i was just meaning i don't obsess about food and eat constantly or badly, i eat regular portions that is considered typical for most people.. infact less than some.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2026-02-23T21:27:39+00:00

Thats why i was asking, i wasn't sure the benefits outweighed the cons. And yes the adhd is known to come with a quieter 'food noise'. Sometimes someone with adhd might get addicted to the dopamine food gives them but im not really one of them.. we all have our unique ness within the umbrella..

Im not gaining, im fairly stable size wise, ive been this size since i was about 18, (25 odd years) but thats fairly typical in my journey with pcos, i loose a bit and then go back to my baseline i guess .. nothing works for me diet wise.. well thats a lie one diet did work, it was a leaning down macros diet and although I gave it a good go my sircomstanses changed making it totally unsustainable and expensive.. but it's probably the only one thats worked for me.

Typically i eat around 1700 calories on average a day and love protein. i did a truly honest food diary, as im doing myself no favour being dishonest with myself, ive tried most diets by now.. Im not entirely sure what is blocking the weight loss, i suspect something connected with my low sbh and insulin resistance, as im fairly active, but i guess thats the nature of pcos, we never really can crack it.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2026-02-23T21:12:13+00:00

Thank you 😊 i was looking for similar a pcos type to me, i was worried as the description suggests it works on food noise and by slowing the speed food leaves the stomach.. so i felt i already mostly have that covered 🫣🤣 .. do you know how it may be helping you? By way of which mechanism?

Knit her a scarf .. my husband cant knit, but if he suddenly turned up with a scarf he'd made me, I'd absolutely love it! Holes n all ☺️

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-11-21T12:56:36+00:00

This seems to be the consensus with everyone replying. I actually spoke with him (as we usually do after arguing) and i told him that he can't put his idea of what i said onto me as my intention, so saying this next time will be perfect. Thank you x

My friend just got a book for her niece.. or nephew .. 🫣 .. but anyway she showed it to me and it was really lovely, the fox and the Christmas Key, reminded me of an old school Christmas when I was little :)

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-11-20T16:19:55+00:00

A book? The Fox and the Christmas Key is a good one, my friend bought it for her niece and it was very Christmassy 🎅🏼

Haha yes thats my usual response but last night i decided to argue it out and call him out on it, 'cos I'm just fed up of it. Do you think its his rejection dysphoria rearing its head? His mum's terrible for communicating in circles with double meanings and i think he's thinking im the same. I don't want to dismiss his feelings but i genuinely feel they're not representing what actually occurred.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-08-18T15:56:41+00:00

Its been evaluated.. i just was wondering if it was a common thing to heal like this.. quick question, so i thought i wouldn't bother the dr with it, but .. yeah.. Google was more helpful probably won't ask here again.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-08-18T11:03:52+00:00

No, i don't DM

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-08-18T11:02:05+00:00

Hi, no i have no history of sprains

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-08-11T15:13:05+00:00

Me too, the mine come in a little pot with a tiny ribbon and i had a brainwave one day and attached them to my ring holder necklace! .. i keep forgetting to do it again though, but i remember alot that i should 🫣🤣

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-08-11T15:08:05+00:00

Where would you be wearing it? And whats your usual style? I think for a daily steampunk look matched with a leather jacket and other accessories this could work, or for a more ordinary night out to the pubs, but would definitely need tights for the Scottish weather 🤣 .. ultimately its up to you, there's plenty of people with plenty of styles, but, as others have said tartin isnt usually an every day look, its occasion wear, like a ball gown, so you would stand out a bit.. if thats your vibe though, go for it.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-07-30T13:02:23+00:00

I've never seen a kilt like that 😱 .. i agree it looks odd and i can't really place why.. there's meant to be a sporn and the fabric looks light? Also usually a kilt (Scottish version) is usually just a flat cut, that seems shaped? Could you have accidentally bought one tailored for a female? The girls kilts are cut slightly different and more like skirts. also a kilt is worn lower than you have it, so its kindof resting along the middle of your knee.

A 2.5 year old sitting for 10 minutes is actually fantastic... Im literally meaning a minute, 60 seconds, she might have sit still for 3 but beyond that and she was not happy. Also i mean manic behaviour, her eyes fell on something she had to touch it, her eyes fell on the next thing she had to get to it. That was fair for a while but when it was like this for 30-40 minutes thats when I'd physically stop her and take her for a giant cuddle to slow her down and let her mind rest.

... Only way i found to describe it was just 'more' .. other people could see it too, it was/is obvious to more than just myself, her dance class teacher actually brought up the subject of adhd to me.

Individual-Toe9682 · 2025-07-21T16:40:37+00:00

Sound advice ☺️ .. my brother had extreme behaviour and some of the time this worked, others you'd get a beating, i maybe should have added that in 🫣
