Hi! I'm new to myfitnesspal & I actually found the website by searching for a calorie counting app on my iphone! So far it's fantastic! I have PCOS [Polycystic Ovary Syndrome] & it causes difficulty in losing weight & I am sure being overweight has contributed to me not being able to get pregnant.

I am 30 years old, been married for a year & live in the wonderful state of Louisiana!

I am excited to start my weight loss journey! OH... I also quit smoking today! Let's see how that goes!

    Welcome! I have PCOS, and I quit smoking 1 & 1/2 years ago. Quitting will be the best thing you ever did for yourself. Looking back it was one of the hardest things I ever did, but now I am so proud that I actually beat it! Good luck to you with both the weight loss & quitting smoking. :smile:

    Hopeful: How awesome! Good job with quitting smoking! ** HIGH FIVE ** It has been a hurdle for me. I quit about 4 months ago, got pregnant, lost the pregnancy, then started smoking again & gained a little extra baggage... My husband works offshore, so it's hard to have him home while I ovulate, but I figured I got pregnant the first time because I quit smoking [he doesnt smoke]. I REALLY want to quit & with the assistance of my "crack patch" & God, hopefully I can kick it for good this time!! Thank you thank you for the good luck wishes! :flowerforyou:

    You def can do this hun. Example - I went food shopping yesterday. Went to the farmers market and they had fresh baked goods. I wanted them so bad it hurt so I caved and put it in my cart. Continued shopping but by the time I was done shopping I didn't want the baked goods anylonger and put them back on the shelf. Very proud moment!!! You can do this!!!
