Congrats, congrats and CONGRATS! Not only is it possible to take it off but it is also possible to keep it off. I lost the bulk of my weight early on and have kept all of it off for the past few years. I have lost a few more pounds in the last few months but that is due to the stress eliminated from my life when my position at work was eliminated :happy: I keep reading these articles that say people that lose 100 pounds or more are unable to keep it off and I sit here and say huh!?! So job well done and now on to the second part of your journey :flowerforyou:

Wow you look incredible. I also suffer from PCOS and have already had to have one ovary removed. In addition, I suffer from growth hormone deficiency (caused by a congenital disorder). I've had to struggle with my weight my entire life. While I'm not necessarily overweight at this point, I still carry a lot more body fat than I should. Hopefully with hormone replacement therapy and a good diet/exercise plan and lots of support I can do this too.

You truly are an inspiration, and proof that it can be done!!! Thanks for sharing.

Today I started WW because MFP has not been working for me. I have gained nearly 30 pounds in 18 months. I have a total of 45 to lose and feel like it's such a daunting task. I'm feeling overwhelmed and saddened by letting myself go. Thank you for the inspiration!

I loved your success story:) I liked the fact that you didn't use any 'tricks' or silly ways to lose your weight - just good sensible eating and exercise. You look great and you are as others have said - an inspiration.

Wow. Joy I am so inspired and hopeful from reading your story. I was diagnosed with PCOS quite a number of years ago and have been battling my weight for more years than I want to count. Thank you for proving it can be done despite the daunting challenge it provides. You are truly an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story!!

Sorry to butt in and hijack the thread.

Have you tried playing with your carbs vs proteins? I know you've heard it ALL, lol, as we have all been fighting this for a looong time, but I have the "PCOS living for dummies" or something like that, haha and it does recommend a lower carb (NOT no carb or atkins crap) Just thought I would mention it as my weight loss seems better on weeks when my pie is equal protein and carbs and higher in fat. Just putting that out there! Good luck and don't lose hope!!!
