    It's such a battle isn't it. Your body is always fighting you on weight loss. You need to lose weight to fix the problem and fix the problem to help lose weight. It's a nasty vicious cycle.

    Hi! I am new to MFP also..just started this week. I also have PCOS and have 100+ lbs to lose. Right now I'm having a hard time because my blood sugar is high and making me so darn tired all the time. I am fatigued and weak. Makes exercising that much harder. RIght now I am trying to get medical help and possibly get back on Metformin. I was on it before and it helped alot. I lost my job and lost my medical insurance so have been off of it for a few yrs and gained so much weight and feel just awful. I am eating according to the low glycemic index and its helping. Would love to be a support to one another and help in any way I can. Any advice you have is welcomed. :)

    Hi! I am just starting today and have failed at weightloss considerably. My mom suggested this site to me so I thought I would give it a try. It is free. I too have over 100 pounds to loose and having someone to share these struggles with would be awesome. I have low blood sugar issues and struggle with keeping my levels high enough. I wish you the best of luck on this journey and hopefully we can reach the end together a lot lighter than when we started. Have a beautiful day and I look forward to chatting with you.

    Definitely! I had been knowing something wasn't right for years, finally found a doc 10 years later that listened to me and I was officially diagnosed

    Just actively started using MFP, was diagnosed a few months ago with PCOS, and I have more than 100 pounds to lose! :-/ Hoping that I can find some support here on this site, and hoping that I can learn that food is NOT a coping mechanism but IS just simply FUEL for my body to do what it has to do!! :-) Looking for some girls that understand where I'm coming from, to be accountability/support partners! :)
