Hello! :)

Hi,

I am 20, 5"1 and last time I checked I weighed 59kg. I think this is somewhere on the border of healthy/overweight, I would like to lose roughly 10kg so that I'm closer to the lower end of a healthy BMI. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and I'm taking 20mg citalopram, both of which probably don't do me any favours with respect to weight gain, however at the moment I feel that I would prefer to stay on the medication as it does help significantly and just deal with having to put in the extra effort. I have also noticed that, like in many PCOS patients, the excess fat is typically stored around my stomach.

I'd like to lose weight for the usual reasons, I think I'd look and feel quite a bit better. Being physically fit is also important to me, at the moment I am extremely unfit! I would like to be able to eventually do things like run 10k.

So, any support I can get would be fantastic. I have also found that I feel more motivated if I have a little bit of healthy competition, so if anyone with a roughly similar build would like to try that with me, or if anyone can point me in the right direction to challenges etc, that would also be great. Look forward to meeting you guys
