I've had a mfp account for a while now but I haven't been very good about using it. Today starts a new day for me! I have promised myself that I will finally lose the weight. I'm a 27 year old female and I'm married to my best friend, we have recently begun trying to conceive but have met with some unexpected fertility issues. I was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor recommended losing weight to help with conception. I lead a fairly active life as a preschool teacher in very rual Missouri but my hobbies include fishing, reading, spending time with my family, and I love being outside. I'm looking for a few people that can be a support system and be friends too.

    Wow. We have ALOT in common. I was 27 when my husband and I tried to start a family and we also met fertility issues. Went thru fertility treatments for a while and now we have 17 1/2 year old twins. :) I am also a preschool teacher who has been in the field since 1985. I love to read, spend time with my family and LOVE being outside too.

    Sending you a friend request. Feel free to add me.

    Welcome! I am also a pcos'er and you'll find a lot of women here that know the struggles and frustrations. Weight loss can happen, even if they tell you it's harder than for "normal" people! I'm 5.8lbs short of reaching my goal of 160 which will make me 100 pounds down from my biggest weight. I wish you the absolute best! :)
