Bride to Be Here Looking to Stay on Track

Hi everyone!

I've been battling these 50 lbs or so since I was 18 years old, and now at 25 and engaged, I'm ready to get serious about looking and feeling better for my future.

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years back, which for those of you who don't know, is a metabolic condition that throws your hormones out of whack, and makes your body insulin resistant. With the recommendations of my doctors, I've attempted a low carb diet on and off for the past three years, with very, very little will success. I am notorious for low carbbing for a week tops, see the scale move, and even feel better, only to be tempted and thrown completely off course. I have yet to stick to any diet or lifestyle change for more than a week, and I think that one thing I've always lacked is the motivation that comes with being accountable and vocal about your journey. Which brings me here!

Really psyched to be on MFP, and looking forward to receiving and reciprocating support across the site!
