in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I am a 28 year old Army wife, currently residing in Virginia. I was resently diagnosed with an arachnoid brain cyst and an extremely severe case of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Seems the weight loss odds are against me but I've somehow overcome and lost my first 15 lbs. Only took me 5 weeks (lol) but I did it. Though sometimes it is tough to stay motivated. My husband is a natural born skinny person. He has the metabolism of a 18 year old football star. And I have no friends on my mfp profile to communicate with. So if anyone wants mutual motivation, please feel free to add me. :)

    I've lost 15 pounds in 7 weeks, despite no medical conditions, so I'd say you're doing fantastic! :) I still have another 60 to go, so we're in similar situations. I'll add you!

    I just lost 20lbs in 6 weeks. I have Hashimotos and Pcos! It can be done. It was hard but I never gave up the fight. I would love to lose another 40-50 lbs! Best of luck to you!

    15lbs in 5 weeks is awesome!!! I have hypothyrodism, PCOS, and type 2 diabetes. So the struggle is real. I started at 220lb...very slowly down to 160lbs...25 to go. You can do it!

    Awesome to hear you have over come that and are pushing forward, Today I started using this app but I have been losing weight since April last year I was 268lbs and now am 194lbs, I wont say its easy because its not, my genes surely don't help much because in my family heart problems are a big deal at a young age and being 21 and with already 5 tachycardia moments and one being yesterday its pushing me but I am fighting but I lack the friendly motivation, you can add me if you want, I am from Puerto Rico and its a pleasure to meet you all.
