Hello! 100+ pounds to go!

Hello everyone,

I started using MFP about a week ago I think at the recommendation of my sister. I'd been using Noom, which is okay, but the calorie amounts are inexact and I was trying to be more specific.

I have about 100 pounds to lose. I am a newlywed, 27, living in India. I'm an American ex-pat (married to an Indian man). In America I never seemed to be able to lose anything. I came here and the fat is slowly melting off. In five months I lost 13 pounds without much effort. Now I'm putting effort in to try to maximize that.

Aside from my sister I don't have any connections on here yet. I'm hoping to meet some great, encouraging fitness pals. That 13 pounds is the most I've EVER lost.

I also have PCOS. I was insulin resistant but am not anymore. I just found out I have an under active thyroid, and am taking pills for that.

Anyway, I'm looking for really anybody. If you have stuff in common with me, great. If not, also fine. I just want to be encouraged and be encouraging.

    I have PCOS and also currently an American expat living in Asia. Though, unlike you, I gained a bit of weight since moving that I'm looking to take off. I only have about 10kg more that I want to lose (will adjust depending on how I look and feel), but I'm definitely up for mutual motivation.
