Hey ladies
Just wanting to introduce myself.
My name is Luna, I'm 23 and from Victoria, Australia.
I was diagnosed with PCOS in March this year after going to the doctors due to not having my period in a year. (I think I did about 20 pregnancy tests during this time haha)
My friend has PCOS and the symptoms she described sounded like what I was experiencing, so I jumped on google and did some research. Went to the doc, got referred, yep...Luna has PCOS.
My symptoms were/are:
Weight gain
Acne
Skin discolouration
Tiredness
Anaemia
Hair loss
random hairs growing on my face
Ovarian cysts
The ultrasound showed that I only have one ovary and my doctor tells me that I will most likely have trouble concieving.
I am new to myfitnesspal, and I am loving it so far! So much inspiration to be had.
Since starting my weight loss campaign, I have lost 7kg in total, and I'm wanting to lose another 35kg.
I am a vegetarian, and I haven't been doing anything special, other than cutting down on unnecessary fats, carbs and sugars.
I've halved all my portion sizes and I'm seeing a real difference. I exercise 6 days a week for 1/2 an hour.
I'm hoping this group will give me plenty of inspiration to keep going!
Best of luck to all of you!
Luna.
