Taking my life back...

Hi everyone! I'm DeAnna... 32, married w/o kids (unless you count my furry kids).

I've struggled with PCOS for most of my life. Diagnosed at 19 and told I would most likely never have children was one of the worst things I have ever had to come to terms with. It has changed me in many ways, both emotionally and physically.
I don't think I have ever been truly healthy and until more serious conditions associated with my disease came to my attention, I never cared. At this point in my life I am high risk for cancer and facing yet another surgery to correct on of my many "girl part" issues.

After getting the latest news I decided that I needed to take charge and get my life in order. I went back to weight training in Jan. and although I've missed a couple of weeks during my move, I feel stronger than I have in years. I prefer to lift (and when I say lift, I mean LIFT. Go heavy or go home!) but I am now realizing that I need to put some focus into cardio and diet if I ever want to see the changes I'm looking for.
This week began my own personal 12 week challenge. I would love to have support and advice from anyone willing.

Looking forward to the rest of my life!
DeAnna

  • Good for you on taking control of your life! I know that PCOS can be difficult as I worked in a fertility clinic for 15 years and we had many patients with it. But you can still have a full life and enjoy it to the fullest. I wish you well with your journey to getting healthier.
