Hi My name is Joi! I am new to MFP but I am a memeber of BWLW FB page. I am ready to lose weight and get healthy for myself and my family.

Hi everyone,
I've been following this group on FB and decided to join MFP for the October Challenge. I love the concept of black women supporting and uplifting each other to lose weight and feel more confident about ourselves. Peace and Blessings to everyone !

Hi everyone and welcome, feel free to add me as a friend

I don't have PCOS but I hear reducing your carbs to under 200 helps a great deal with helping to lose weight when you have PCOS.

Hello Everyone! My name is Crys and I do have PCOS. Like a previous commentor said, there is a group for PCOS, im apart of one.
As for the carbs issue, I've never heard of watching carbs to help with weightloss. What's most importatnt for us PCOSistahs is eating food that has a low Glycemic Index (GI) number. This helps balance our hormones, thus balancing our weight. I struggled with losing weight briefly, but that was until I stopped using Birth Control pills to treat my PCOS. Now the only thing i use to contorl it is clean eating and exercise

Good luck to you and the rest of you ladies.

Hello All,

I joined this group a little bit ago, but never said anything until now. I workout at least 4 times a week with a trainer and I jump rope every weekday morning. Although I have the workout thing down, It's hard to stay focused on eating healthy because I LOVE to eat. So i'm looking of some type of motivation to help me make better choices more often than not so that I am not killing myself during my workouts for nothing. I look forward to learning something new from each and everyone of you and making some new friends also. :happy:

Hello! My name is Jimisha and I'm new to this group and mfp all together. I was looking for my sistas on here and glad I came across this group. I'm a 30 year old wife and mother who has a lot of weight to lose.I currently live in Anaheim, CA. I've given myself a goal of 10lbs a month so I hope that with the help and encouragement of others I can meet this goal. Please feel free to add me as your friend as I am in need of all the help/encouragement I can get for this journey. Really hoping to get this weight of for once and for all and adapt to a more healthy lifestyle not just for me but for my family too. God bless everyone and looking forward to all of us helping each other to meet our goals :happy:
