After forcing myself to drink 3 litres of water every day, all I can say is… water really is magic.

💧 YES to clearer skin, more energy, and fewer cravings 🍜

Life lately.... 🏋️‍♀️💪

For someone who used to quit every workout plan by week 3, showing up five days a week at the gym feels feels like an accomplishment I never imagined.

And let me tell you—IMPOSTER SYNDROME is real. I’ll be deep in my workout, totally in the zone, and then, out of nowhere, it hits me... suddenly, I’m questioning every move, every form, as if I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. 🤯

And if you’ve ever felt the same, let me tell you—it means you’re leveling up. You’re stepping out of your comfort zone, becoming a person who doesn’t back down, who faces obstacles head-on, and makes things happen. 🌱✨

I just had to share .... 😛

May be in some alternate universe, my struggles with PCOS end with a simple trick or a medicine.

Or better yet, it doesn't ✨ exist ✨

Also, drop that influencer's name :P

Vitamin C & D supplements have been a game changer for me.

My doctor recommended them for better immunity but I realised after taking the supplements for 1.5 months that I feel less tired, slightly less stressed, got fewer PMS and PMDD symptoms, and simply, just more motivated. 💪✨

Of course, I looked into some research articles and came across an interesting study on mice. (see link at the end)

Here’s what I found:

There’s a chemical called Malondialdehyde (MDA)🧪, a byproduct created when fats break down due to oxidative stress. It is produced as a result of insulin resistance, high androgen levels, and high cholesterol, and most women with PCOS experience these as symptoms. It makes you feel inflamed, fatigued, and imbalances your hormones.

Vitamin C and D are both anti-oxidants that reduce oxidative stress, improves cell sensitivity to glucose, and lower cortisols.

Vitamin D also supports healthy production of estrogen.

Source - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31564389/

💊 I take Emergen-C 1000mg Vitamin C and 1000IU Vitamin D—you can find it at Rexall, Walmart, or Amazon. I usually mix it with my pre-workout for an extra push at the gym!

I've struggled with body issues all my life... some initiated by "caring relatives".... 🙄

When I was my heaviest at 86.6 kgs at 25 years (standing only at 5 feet), I would look back at photos from university and feel so so sad. Almost everyone I met would tell me to lose weight. I was 62-65 kg and needed maybe 5 kgs off, but not really.

Those comments wrecked my self-confidence, how I saw myself, and even my belief in what I could achieve. I overate, thinking, “I’m already fat, what difference will it make?” 😐

This past year, I’ve been learning to love my body, but it hasn’t been easy. If I could go back in time, I’d tell my younger self she was beautiful just as she was. I’d tell her to take long walks and eat more protein. That’s all she needed—not anyone else’s opinion.

I wish.. 🥺😞

Loving your flaws is a difficult process. Even until now, looking at photos or having people take my photos makes me anxious.

Even now, photos still make me anxious. But I’ve decided—I won’t be neutral about my body anymore.

So here’s your reminder: love your body. Every fold, curve, spot of hyperpigmentation, stretch mark, and patch of dryness—it’s all part of what makes you beautiful. ✨ 🦋

Where are my gym girlies at? 💖 ❤️‍🔥

Sundays are my favourite to work out at the gym.

Empty gym, just pure focus. I easily spend 3 hours, ending with a nice, relaxing steam.

Tell me, what's your favourite day to crush it at the gym?

Craving sugar when your hormones are out of whack?

Balanced eating feels impossible, right? 🥗

When I first started strength training, all I felt was exhaustion. No weight loss, no fat loss, no change in inches—just fatigue.

🏆 After endless scrolling through social media, I learned the secret: protein. I’m talking about 150g daily. 🏆

Instead of obsessing over every nutrient, I focused on protein first, then fibre. Eating whole foods is the only way I stay satiated, and guess what? It worked.

When you eat real food, you get the nutrients you need without overthinking it. 🌱

Felt this strongly? Share some tips in comments that work for you!

Here’s the hard truth: I almost gave up before I even started.... but so glad I didn't. 🦋

After nearly a decade of trying every workout to lose weight after being diagnosed with PCOS, I found something that works for me!

As an introvert, stepping into the gym felt like my last option—and I dreaded it.

But I don't feel that anxiety anymore, no matter the gym... though it always help when it's empty. :P

🏋️‍♀️ Fast forward almost a year, and I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I’ve gained muscle, lost inches, and built confidence I didn’t think I needed. 🏋️‍♀️

That’s why I started PCOS Gym Girlie—a personal journal, no tips, no advice, just my real experience with PCOS, staying active, and eating well. PCOS is complicated, and losing fat isn’t straightforward.

If you need a little extra motivation or a friend who just gets it, follow along. This is your safe space, PCOS gym girlies.

Let’s get stronger together. 💪🏽🔥
