Pcos!!! looking for a weightloss buddy

Options
Hello! I am a 25 yr old female from Sarasota, FL. I have been overweight and suffering from pcos since I was 16. I am now ready to take control over my life and loss weight before the dream of motherhood becomes a thing of the past. My last known weight was 240lbs, I will be weighing myself next Monday 8/17/15 to get a more accurate weight. I am not doing any kind of fad diet. I am simply eating real food ( not junk food, no drinking my calories and eating more fruits and veggies) and moderate exercise. I am hoping to find individuals that have similar weightloss goals to support and motivate each other.

    Looking for the same! I've known about my PCOS for about 6 years. Weight gain has NOT helped at all! Maybe we can support each other!

    Hi i would like to add you all ladies :) i am also diagnosed with pcos ( i couldnt remember my first diagnosis if it was in senior high school or college). It sucks big time that sometimes you dont eat alot yet you gain something or you try losing weight but its so slow or you have a plateu. Im also hoping to meet friends for support and motivate each other

    I got the same diagnosis too, a bit late. My doctors recommended weight loss surgery so I had a bypass 2 months ago and my bloody ovaries are fighting that too (plus have fibroids now too!!) Feel free to add me.

    Hello =) I'm 25 and have had PCOS for 10 years. Today is day 15 for me since having started following very strict PCOS-specific dietary guidelines. I've done a ton of research and have a wonderful doctor. So far I've lost 13 pounds, and am excited for the future!

    I'd love to share this journey with you all! From failures and successes to tips and recipes, let's battle this together! Feel free to add me and I'll add you back!

    I have had pcos for a very long time and had all the symptoms and didn't notice until I gained 40lbs in 2 years after being 115 for so long. I also noticed I started growing hairs on my baby toes and my back hair got thicker and thicker within a month. I would really like to be healthy again and need some help from women also with pcos. Add me please
