You need to speak to your doctor about being put on a medication for insulin resistance, if you are not already. PCOS causes your body to not use the insulin it is creating. It is not Diabetes, because your body is still making what it needs to. It is just unable to use it. This contributes to weight gain. You have to get that under control before you can move on to actually losing the weight.

Does Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome create added difficulty when attempting to lose weight?
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) does not by itself cause added difficulty losing weight. Insulin resistance (IR) causes PCOS. Insulin resistance makes it harder to lose weight, because a high insulin level: 1. Makes every bit of sugar from the carbohydrates you eat go into the cells of your body. 2. Stimulates your appetite. For an excellent discussion of PCOS and its relationship to insulin resistance, see the "Pathogenesis" portion of the following web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycystic_ovary_syndrome.
