Goal: To Be Happy & Healthy! (Low Carb/High Fat + Managing PCOS Lifestyle)

Options
Hi there everyone! I'm a 24 year old female seeking to engage with others in the MFP community! I'd love to support people and would appreciate motivation from others myself!

Some numbers:
Height: 5'3
    [*] SW: 236
    [*] CW: 226
    [*] GW: 150



    I don't have a deadline per se and my goal weight is really just a ballpark figure. I don't care about the scale as much as I care about treating my body right and feeling great! My main focus is to live a healthy lifestyle. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 19 years old and have been struggling with my weight ever since high school. My weight has fluctuated quite a bit throughout the past couple of years. Weighing in at 236 was a HUGE wake-up call for me. It was then (just around two weeks ago) that I decided to follow a doctor's advice and try to cut out most carbs from my diet. I've lost 10 pounds and am feeling well.

    Please friend me and join me on my journey.
