Hello,

Welcome to HCM and thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Weight loss is achievable with continued and dedicated effort. The food has to be wholesome and low calorie. You have to reduce 1000 calories per day from the calories that you consume now. Then you can lose 2 lbs per week. Exercise has to be high intensity, interval type and also you should do isometric exercise so as to increase your metabolic rate. You should be relaxed and practice relaxation techniques like yoga. This will help you to avoid binge eating and also avoid using food as a stress reliever.
You should also take Metformin which will help reduce Insulin resistance, the cause of PCOS and also will help you lose weight.
If you have further queries, I shall be happy to answer.
Take Care
