I am starting my journey to lose 100 pounds

Options
I am 31 years old needing to lose 100 pounds. I have struggled with weight my whole life. I was diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager but no one ever explained what it was. When I was 24 I weighed 191 pounds and started reading about PCOS and learned that I would struggle with fertility and losing weight would help the symptoms of PCOS. I started to lose weight and got down to 137 pounds. I ended up getting pregnant unexpectedly. It's amazing what happens to your body when you lose weight. I gained all my weight back and couldn't lose it after I had the baby. A few years later we wanted another baby and I lost 20 pounds (180 pounds) and started fertility medicine and got pregnant again. Gained even more weight and struggled with losing it. I am now 230 pounds and really want to lose it for good. If you have read this far and would like to add me, I would really appreciate the support or feel free to comment and I can add you.

    I suffered with PCOS as well! What I didn't know is that losing weight can actually cure PCOS (more motivation if you ask me) You know what to do since you done it before which is great it! Believe in yourself and you are half way there!
