Hello! My name is Kayla and I've been using MFP Mobile for a couple months now - just recently started using myfitnesspal.com via the computer. I had no idea of all the other things that the site provided in addition to the mobile version so I'm glad I stopped in!


A little about me? I'm 20 years old. I have been married for 2 1/2 years to my very supportive husband, Mark. Together we have two furry pups. I started my weight loss journey at all all time high of 256.0 lbs and in the last month I am down to 250. I can't WAIT to be under 200 soon! :)

I struggle with Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome which is very much related to being overweight and or obese. I carry most of my weight in the mid section which is a tell tale sign of PCOS. I am here to lose weight and gain not only self confidence but to learn about my body and reverse and correct the damage that has been done. :)

So there's a little tid bit about me and I hope to meet you all very soon!

-Kay

    Hello.
    My name is Tunde,
    I just started to use myfirnesspal from today, and I hope now I will have some result as well.:smile:
    I am married and I have a 2,5 years wonderful daughter.
    I would like to lose some weight I tried a lot of time but I gave up most of the time.
    I hope now will work.

    Hi Kayla,
    Good luck on your journey and you've certainly come to a great place - I love MFP and all the people are so supportive and helpful - it's a great reflection on what society could be :smile:

    Well done on your loss! You may be encouraged to know that at 20 years old you have a massive ability to reverse the effects of PCOS and make sure your body is fit and fighting - good luck xxx

    Thank you beebee for the encouragement!

    I used to be a vegetarian before I met my husband.. I was about 60lbs lighter then than I am now but I was finally comfortable with myself when I met him and just didn't realize the weight gain. I am trying to revert back to a mostly fresh, green menu with fish for protein. It's definitely not as easy as it sounds but we're actually doing really well and making it a life style change not a diet which really helps. I'm trying to remember: I don't RESTRICT what I eat, I CHOOSE to eat healthy. :)


    Thanks again for the encouragement and I would love to add you as a friend to keep in touch and share advice/ideas.
