Hello Everyone!

I am looking for some awesome friends to connect with and help make this weight loss journey a little more bearable (ha). I'm 27 years old from Richmond, VA. I am engaged to a great guy, and he's trying to lose weight as well (although he said he HATES tracking anything, so he won't be using MFP). My main motivation for losing weight is to reverse my infertility and to eventually have a healthy pregnancy and baby. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 16 years old and have been battling the weight gain ever since. The doctor is saying that PCOS (metabolic syndrome) caused my body to stop processing sugars correctly, stalling my metabolism and causing my hormones to go haywire. She has suggested that bringing down my weight will naturally restore my fertility, so why not give it a go? :) I promise to be as open and honest as possible, and share my diary and diet success and failures with my friends. We are in this together!

If anyone is in Richmond or thereabouts, I would totally be down with exercise sessions.

Good luck everyone!
