When I started my weight loss journey July 1st of last year to get in shape for my sister's wedding, I never truly believed in myself or that I could ever be "skinny" <-- whatever that really means.
Almost 11 months later, I am smaller than I have ever been in my life since I can remember growing up. I have struggled with PCOS my whole life but was diagnosed back in 2007/2008. Making it harder to lose weight, it was a vicious cycle of trying to lose weight, being unsuccessful, hating it, and gaining more weight. On top of everything this year, I had a stress fracture that kept me from doing my favorite activity (running) for 4 months, but I still kept at it!
I am happier, healthy, and looking forward to the new life style I have adopted. Am maybe trying to lose 15-20 more!
Many thanks for the support along the way and feel free to add me! Always need more inspiration!

Did you low carb? I have PCOS too, and I am finding it difficult to lose weight this time around. My usual calorie counting/ exercise just isn't cutting it, but I really have the hardest time low carbing. Congrats on your success!! You look amazing, and you are a definite inspiration for me!0

I didn't do low carb in the beginning until I met with a trainer who encouraged clean eating. I don't carb count but I avoid all bread, rice, and pasta, and only have one piece of fruit a day.
It's been a transition for sure and I still love carbs but I just try not to have them be in my daily diet. Lean protein has been my best friend!0 -
