Hello,

I'm 24 years old and I've been eating low glycemic balanced meals throughout the day for about 5 weeks now and tracking on MFP for 4. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16 years old and I came to the realization that my insulin resistance was totally out of control, as was my blood pressure. I started getting migraines for the first time ever and then I was denied a certain medication at a clinic because my blood pressure was so high. I was devastated and ashamed at the condition of my health. I read up on PCOS and insulin resistance, implemented a plan, and I'm already feeling exceedingly better!

I'm not sure what my starting weight was because I had thrown out my scale a couple years ago lol. I just got one a couple weeks ago and I know I've lost 3 pounds as of last sunday, my guess would be about 10 pounds overall. I'm trying to lose about 50-75 pounds in the scheme of things. Looking to make changes that I will live with for the rest of my life. Hell, eating like this feels so much better than the way I felt before, why not, right?!

So feel free to add me as a friend. I'd love to see what other people are up to and exchange support and encouragement!

    I probably should have posted this at a better time, when a vast majority of the MFP community isn't sleeping lol. Thanks for the response, mommanurse! Still looking for more buddies!

    I'm new too! Reading your introduction it sounds like we are very much in a the same boat. I am also 24, was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 12 and have recently started eating consciously of my insulin resistance. I think we could be a great team to support each other! Look forward to getting to know you a little better! Good luck! :)
