Hi there everyone! Just looking for some friends on here, if anyone's interested? My "story" is below, for anyone who wants to read my speil...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
My main reason for losing weight is that I have been self conscious about my weight since I was about 14 years old, and I've finally decided to sort it out properly.
I'm currently around 12st 7lbs, but I stared trying to lose weight last year when I found I out I'd hit 13st. I Iost 7lbs from November to January by going to the gym, but my diet was terrible. Now I'm trying to keep up gym, among other exercise at home, but eat healthy at the same time. I'm roughly following the F2 diet plan.
My weight issues are partially made worse by my PCOS - polycystic ovary syndrome. My gynecologist tells me I may find it harder to lose weight because of it, and I may have put on weight due to it, although I know it's mainly my fault I've gotten so heavy. I need to lose a bit of weight because of the PCOS - fertility is a concern as my ovaries don't work as they should, and the condition is exacerbated by my weight. I also don't have periods, and I'm told if I lose weight they should come about naturally, rather than come about when I take medication for them.
I also want to get in shape as I have 7 pairs of jeans that I cannot fit in to and am dying to wear! As well as this I have a load of old clothes I still have and love, but am just to flabby to suit.

    Hi! Welcome. I'm also new and have things going against me or that don't help with my weight loss (hypothyroidism, epilepsy meds) and I also had/have PCOS and no periods. It took a couple years before we got pregnant, but we did and were blessed with an amazing son!!! I have tried MFP before and loved it. Life got in the way and now I'm back again to do it right and get to my goal. I have about 40-50lbs to lose. I'll send you a friend request and we can do this together :)

    HI! I just really got started this week too. I have used the site in the past, but not like it is intended to be used. I will be 45 on Friday and I am tired of my clothes not fitting, not being able to pull myself up onto my horse and I'm tired of just feeling ick. I need to lose 20 to 30.
