Hey everyone!
My name is Dana and I was diagnosed with PCOS after I had my daughter 2 years ago and since then I've gained about 20 lbs. On top of that I was born without arms and a short right leg so I'm in a wheelchair. It's hard to stay on track but I hope I can find someone who would help keep me motivated and that I can help too!

Welcome aboard.
Here's a newbie help post I compiled, with links to helpful info.
Definitely read sexypants.
And the blog post about goal setting should give you a place to start. The various charts & calculators won't be quite right for you, but it's a decent guess. If that's still too many calories (you're not losing weight), cut 50-100 at a time, then wait a few weeks to see if you've found the right level.0 -
Thanks for replying! Can I add you?0

Yea I have tried hard to lose weight and only lose like a pound in 2 weeks and then give up0

BTW 2lbs in a week is a lot...that's the rate at which I lost weight. I lost 30lbs. Keep your sugar and carb intake low, protein and fat and veggie and fiber intake high. It's also balancing for our hormones to eat that way.0

I said a pound in 2 weeks! But yea I'm trying to stay away from sugar and carbs but it's hard. Thanks for the advice!
