    Hello!! I am in! I have no friends on this and totally need some and some motivation. My problem is that I have a very active social life and eat out a lot with friends. I have a hard time staying on track on weekends. Any ideas would be great!

    Before I read about it in the PCOS for Dummies book, I always thought it was just a problem with me....but knowing that PCOS is what is causing this urge to binge eat on occasion helps me ignore and control it. Now instead of feeling like I have piss poor self control and am a self-sabatager, I understand the urge is actually chemically induced. Lets me feel I am in control of myself again, and helps me know the hunger pains are not really me being hungry, but my out of whack system telling me lies. I will continue to eat as normal and increase my water intake, and give the finger to these lies from my tummy.

    Hi I also have pcos I do not know much about trying to lose weight with it I just know exercise is important with pcos. Any advice would be awesome!

    May I join?

    Height: 5' 4.75"
    Starting weight: 248
    Current weight: 234
    Goal weight: 150-170

    I obviously have quite a bit to lose, but I like to set mini goals.
    I've been trying to eat keto and, though I know my macros could probably be improved, it has been working well for me. :smile: Today, I'm wearing clothes that didn't fit just last week.

    I need this challenge! I have a trip coming up in July. Perfect timing! I am going to have to buckle down and set a goal to lose around 2.5 pounds each week. I am joining the summer group weight loss challenge at my gym to give myself extra motivation. I am looking forward to a fresh start! I will weigh in tomorrow and post my starting weight.

    Didn't get a chance to post a starting weight last week since I was out of town. I finally jumped on the scale today and was not entirely disappointed. I am going for a 20 pound weight loss by July 4. More would be great! I start a workout/nutrition/fitness challenge at my gym in a few days, so I will have my teammates to help me along the way. Let's do this!

    I weighed in yesterday. 5 lb loss! Wow! I am doing well with 64 oz. per day of water. I am sticking to 1500 calories per day and watching my macros. I have noticed some hunger at night, but I think that is because I am so used to snacking before bed. My mind is playing tricks on me. I don't really need to eat before bed, but it is hard to break myself of that habit. I had a friend over last night for movie watching. She ate mexican food. It smelled awesome! I had just had a big salad with tuna for dinner, so I wasn't hungry. Victory! I feel good about the changes I have made so far. I bought some new seasonings and a new hot sauce (not usually a fan of hot sauce, but I need to jazz things up somehow.) I am hoping this downward trend continues! Not working out much yet, but that will improve with my group workouts scheduled for this week. Onward to another successful week!

    Due to TOM, no change on the scale this week. That is disappointing after a week of perfect eating and tracking, but not entirely unexpected. On a positive note, at least I didn't gain! I think my healthy habits will show on the scale next week.
