Hello.
My name is Adia (uh-dee-yah) and I'm a 33 not so recently single mom. I gained all of my weight after pregnancy and after "the divorce".
After gaining 50lbs, I signed up with a personal trainer. I followed his nutrition plan, did cardio 6 days a week, strength training 3 days a week, cut out soda for 6 months and lost 10lbs. Yes. It was super frustrating and I feel like a waste of money. After that I was diagnosed with PCOS and it's been a struggle revamping my diet. I've never been into sweets, but apparently even a small amount of sugar was sabotaging me.
I'm now on Metformin and have cut my sugar and the weight is slowly coming off now. Now that I have my diet on a stable path, I want to get back into the gym.
My stats:
5'10
329lbs
Looking for friends who are also gunning for ONEderland (199lbs)
My first goal is to get to 299.
Who wants to be friends? Male or female! Young or old! Come join me so we can inspire each other!
PS. I like Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, tattoos, beards (not the trendy hipster looking ones!), pretty much everything Hayo Miyazaki, Mass Effect and Final Fantasy are my favorite video games. ^_^

Hi, I'm Isla
Losing 10 pounds in 6 months sounds rough, but it sounds like you're finding what will work for you. My HW was 280 pounds and I had been down about 60 pounds, but I've gained 10-15 pounds back which is why I decided to join MFP. The first big goal I want to hit is under 220 (starting weight in college). I've added you—anyone else, please feel free to add me as well 0 -

I'm sad that it's been pushed back to 2017 (Andromeda) but it's going to be amazing!0 -

Hi ladies... I too want to get under 200 lbs. I'm probably the old lady of the bunch at 50 however I'm cool... I think? LoL (You can decide for yourself) I am 5' 9", 310 lbs. I have a 22 yr old college kid.
Feel free to add me! I believe a strong support system is so important. I would be glad to cheer you on too!0 -
I've added the both of you!0

You go girl! I love all the motivation here. Glad you found the PCOS and can do things the way your body needs to! Have you also had your thyroid checked? A lot of times that can be off too. Hyper or more likely hypothyroid and that affects plenty with the body too. The Metformin should really help!
One day at a time!!!! For all !

Hello. Started at (at least) 275 pounds, right now I'm a little over 20 away from wonderland en route to a final goal of 150-170 pounds depending on body composition at that point. Send a friend request if you'd like.
P.S.:
What's the oldest question in history?0 -

Your OBGYN will do a pelvic exam. They check for things like large ovaries and then do blood tests to see what your hormone levels are.Glad you found the PCOS and can do things the way your body needs to! Have you also had your thyroid checked?
Yes, and in my doctor's words, "Is functioning perfectly." lol
The medicine is helping and tracking wise I went from about 80 grams a sugar to about 30-40 per day. I'm trying to go even lower if possible!0 -
Hi there, I added you. I started at 311 and am S L O W L Y working toward onederland myself. Seems impossible some days, but I'm super motivated and chipping away at it! Hope I can help!0

Welcome to the club! You are almost to the other side of the 200's! Once you get to 249, it's downhill to 199!!!0 -
Omg, let's be friends! You sound super awesome!
My name is Meg, I started at 325 lbs, am now about 270 lbs, and my goal is 150 lbs. I'm 5'8.5".
We could definitely motivate each other!MissTattoo wrote: »Hello.

Same here! Well, except I'm all for the trendy hipster looking beards and I've never played Mass Effect, haha! I'm totally into HP, DW, Hayao Miyazaki, FF (esp. FFVII + FFX), SM, and tattoos. ♥

You can add me ! I'm currently 230lbs and would like to be in the hundreds as well . I weigh more now than I did when I had my son 8months ago .0

Hey there...I would love to see onederland one day. I have about 39 lbs to go before that happens. I started at 260. Please add me. I would love the support as well as give it. Sharon0

Wonderful goal you've set for yourself, way to get it started! I'm closing in on Onederland (200.4) and I can't describe how much better I feel! Feel free to add me. 0

A woman after my own heart! I love all of the FF games, and am super excited for the new version of FF7! I love Dr Who and Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki is my role model. His work is art in one of its highest forms, I'm sad that he's retired now and that Ghibli is shutting down. But, we'll always have Howl and Totoro.
I'm a loooong way off from Onederland, so you're all welcome to add me if you want
I started MFP about 6 weeks ago and I was 540-lbs at my starting date. Since then I've lost 56-lbs, so I'm now sitting at 484-lbs. My goal is one day to be around 150-lbs, but as you can see I have a long way to go. I plan on having bariatric surgery in the next few months, which will help somewhat. I'm 47, I live in Sydney (Australia), I'm a filmmaker and have been obese since I was a toddler, so it's a total life change for me.

Everyone Feel free to add me ! I'm looking also to add more friends who have a long journey ahead0
