Hello all! I am a 35 yr old mother of 1. I have been struggling with my weight since I was a teenager. In 2007, I was diagnosed with PCOS, which explained most of my problems. It's very hard to lose weight having it. I struggle with my inner voice. I hope this will be what I need, just some support.
I just signed up this morning, and am going to drop 70 lbs. I am hoping to be at my target weight by December. I look forward to using this great site. I love the barcode scanner!

    Hi there Ihalstead76. I'm in the same boat as you...diagnosed with PCOS a couple of years ago...goes a long way to explain some stuff eh?!

    Good Luck! Once you get in the swing of tracking your food and exersize it gets easy. I was able to balance out a trip to Olive Garden by working out and of course not eating as many breadsticks as I woudl normally eat. :) It is possible to eat totally normal foods if you just eat in moderation. I lost 20 lbs last year in a few months so if you really are motivated you can do it. Make sure you arm yourself with healthy snacks and 100 calorie packs of cookies or whatever works for you to tame those sweets cravings.
    You can do it!
