    Hey everyone! I am looking to lose about 80 pounds and this isn't my first go at tracking. I've recently begun treatment for PCOS, which should help, but would love some support(and vice versa)!

    @ShrinkinMel - what is PCSO?

    Poly cystic ovary syndrome ( it was formally called Stein Levanthal).

    I have it also, along with Insulin resistance and low vitamin d.

    I am 57 and looking to lose between 80-100pounds. Fell free to add me.

    Yep. Low Vitamin D here too. And added anemia now, from mild to moderate anemia, after being put on Metformin so I have a goal to get off that completely by the end of the year. Maybe sooner. I reduced my dosage to half so I just take my night dose. My fasting is still improving. I'll get my labs done but at home it's improving greatly with the exercise and slow steady losses I've been having helping a lot I'm sure. I do know exercise helps with insulin quite a bit.

    I take my metformin(and also a beta blocker for bp and to keep my heartrate from going over 100-120 at rest) vitamin D, iron, b complex and calcium magnesium supplements. Along with currently a cod liver oil supplement. Oh and my darn daily zyrtec allergy pill. My season is year round. LOL But most of the year it's not pollen or whatever unknown outdoor causes, I have 2 cats one of them spends a lot of time in my bedroom. If I don't let her in she claws the carpet at the door. Getting rid of them is not an option for me. ;) Love cats. I don't mind taking supplements but sure would be nice to not need them I just hate taking meds but would be happy to get rid of the two prescription ones and just have allergy pill and supplements.

    I first lost a ton of weight on Weight Watchers, then I gained some back because I got pregnant. I lost more weight on shakes and exercise but after divorce I gained weight back. I'm back at it with MFP, and I have a FitBit and I feel that I can do it...I just need a little more motivation!

    I just recently started my weight loss journey.

    Height: 5'6

    (I hope I got the measurements right because I'm from Europe and pounds and feet are not my jazz ;) )

    It's my first try losing weight and using MFP. Would be amazing to have some people around who are going through the same things. Feel free to add me!

    I have been busting my butt for 18 months and recently have added friends on MFP. I still have a ways to go and would love to give and receive support. A complete lifestyle change is hard, but friends make it easier.
