in Success Stories
Hello everyone. I have read a lot of success stories on this site and I thought I would post one for myself. I started dieting and exercising back in Feb of 2011. My husband got back from ICU after being there for three months and it made me realize that it can and probably will me me some day. My weight issues started back when I hit puberty. I rapidly started to gain weight and Doctors treated it as if my was a pig or my parents were doing a bad job raising me. I started to have other medical problems which they said were not connected. When I was 22 my husband and I decided that we wanted children so I went in and was then diagnosed with PCOS. Which has been the cause of all my problems ( to a certain point at least). So from that time I have done what seems like a million diets with no success. This time is different. I am stuck at my weight now and have been for the past month but it doesn't feel like I am dieting. At least not the way it used to feel. So with a bit of history about myself here are my pics. I hope that if there is anyone with a similar story you will look me up. :)

    Excellent job. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. I also have tried to diet many, many times in my life, to fail or lose some and gain even more when I stopped. I have now lost almost 50 since January (only 2 and a half months with MFP) and still need to lose 30 or more.

    To be honest not really sure. lol. I dont stop eating the things I like. Which is what I always did before so maybe thats it. At the gym whats different is I picked very long books to read.
