My name is Danni, I am 22 years old. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2013. So far my weight has been a roller coaster. I'll be damned if I let PCOS ruin my chance at a healthy life style. Granted it will be harder to lose weight, but I'm optimistic and ready! 2018 is the year ❤ Looking for motivional MFP friends with positive vibes to aid each other on this journey!

    I'm much older than you so my concerns and abilities are different than you at 20something. But I have PCOS and my daughters, who are closer to your age, also have PCOS so I understand the struggles. I spent many years being morbidly obese, early in my 30s decided to make a change. I work to maintain a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle. Some days, weeks, even years are better than others but it's still a bit of a roller coaster at times. I'm now working hard to lose these last 15 pounds that I want to lose to reach my ultimate goal that I never thought would be this close. Please feel free to add me if you like, but know that it is possible to be healthy, enjoy food and control the symptoms of PCOS. :smile:

    Hello! I’m 20 and I was just recently diagnosed with PCOS in the middle of 2017. Would love to be friends and learn more about this syndrome and how to better myself because of it!!!
