Hello - looking for support friends!

BronteLondon · February 2011

Hi

My name is Bronte and I live in London, England.

I found this app for my iphone and I've not looked back: I find this is such a good way to keep track and that I no longer cheat on my diets (which I used to do. A lot).

I used to weigh 63 kg before I had my two kids. That's around 139 lb. Suddenly at Xmas I weighed myself and I was 187 lb - 85kg. How did THAT happen? When? No wonder my trousers did not fit anymore.

So, the Xmas weight came off quickly and I've now been counting since 1 Jan. I'm now at 77.5 kg which is 169. The thing is - now it gets REALLY tough because I suffer from PCOS which makes it so very hard for my body to lose weight due to hormone imbalances. I'm taking Metformin to regulate the blood sugar. To make matters worse, I'm a chef and I bake cakes for a living. HA! I'm surrounded by temptation every single day.

I think I need some support now to do this. I still have 12 kilos to go - thats almost 25 lb - and I am fearing I've started to bore my friends and even kids with counting calories.

Any nice people out there with similar stories? Let me know. I'm not really sure how this friend request thing works - by posting this have I added a request?

Thanks

You wont bore me with counting calories! I know how you feel like your life revolves around how much you've ate... I'll add you so you dont have to worry about that but to add someone click on their picture and it will take you to their profile and click to add them! Thats it! I'll keep you as motivated as possible if you do the same for me! Have a good Sunday!

I can relate! I also have PCOS and now take Metformin. I joined about 1 1/2 weeks ago and find this site very supportive. I will send you a friend request.
