I get so disheartened when I read people having lost more than a stone in their first month and now I am back up to 187.5 (3 lbs up from tuesday), just 6.5 in total in a month.

Okay, first off, relax! You're going to drive yourself crazy if you keep this up. The best thing is to NOT weight yourself every single day. Weigh yourself once a week and that's it.
If you absolutely MUST weight yourself everyday, take each day's reading with a grain of salt. Write down each day's weight and at the end of the week average it out. THAT should be your weekly weight. Don't compare weights day to day, compare them week to week. Anything less than a day will render your weightloss patterns incomprehendable. I don't know if you have this problem, but I gain 5 pounds around ovulation then lose it a few days later and gain another 5 pounds around AF and lose that about a week later. That's why day to day measurements aren't good. It's too hard to tell what's waterweight and what's true weight. If you look and my monthly averages, I'm definitely losing but day to day I could be 5 pounds off.
6.5 pounds in a month? That is still VERY VERY good. I lose a pound every week or so and haven't lost anything in about a month. Don't listen to other people's weightloss stories. The ones that lose fast are quickest to brag but the ones like me who lose very slowly just keep our mouth shut.
PCOS will affect your weightloss, which is why I lose so slowly. But the best remedy for PCOS is lowcarb, so you're already doing the best you can. Just keep up what you're doing and try not to be so focused on your weight everyday.
