Hey Everyone!

I am looking for anyone who has the same weight loss goals that I have? I am also looking to befriend anyone who is suffering from PCOS or infertility! I want to know who I can turn to when I want to give up or who I can scream at when I feel lost! Plus, I want to know others in similar situations that I can help support through these challenges! :heart:

Let's do this together!!! Hit me up on here of Facebook!!

Thanks SOOOO much!!

    I would love to be friends and encourage each other. I have about 80 more lbs to loose. I am taking it 20lb at a time so it doesnt seem so overwhelming. I noticed you are in the process of becoming a fosterparent. Me and my husband did fostercare for 7 1/2 yrs and adopted our 3 youngest children (they were our fosterkids ). We can do this together

    My daughter was our "miracle". I was told at 19 after an overdose of radio treatment that I couldn't have children.... granted, she was 3 months early and weighed just over a kilo.... but she's amazing :love:

    I have had many a miscarriage, a really bad ectopic with twins..... complete nightmare!!! :brokenheart:

    I've fostered in the past, but we have considered doing this as a "profession" for quite some time :bigsmile:

    Love and hugs to you all :happy:

    I so admire what you are doing and then also having time to take care of yourself by loosing weight. I just joined MFP and really enjoying what I am learning about my eating patterns and ways to cut back. I have about 70 lbs to loose. I also have three adopted children from Russia the youngest is 15 now. I would love to be a support for eachother.

    My name is Rita and I live in San Jose, CA

    I agree - I don't want people to be discouraged - I do have PCOS but it wasn't what has prevented me from conceiving - I have immune issues. I know of plenty of ladies who have conceived with PCOS.

    Hello! I have 102 lbs to loose before my wedding next October 2011. My total goal is to loose 137 lbs with an ending wait of 150 lbs. I too have PCOS. To be honest, I really haven't had much trouble with it yet. Or at least I don't think I have. I have not tried to conceive yet but I'm sure it will be an uphill battle as well. I am here if you ever need a helping hand!

    I need to lose probably about 80 lbs. I have a form of PCOS, thankfully I'm past the years for wanting to have children (I have 3). I've had some endometrial issues in my life. I'm also diabetic and hypo-thyroidic. I hope that with weight loss I'll be able to curb those problems.
