Hi there, I have been on and off at MFP for a while. I logged extremely well for about 1.5 years and lost 60 lbs. Then I started to slack, and after about a year and an injury that really affected my activity level, I started to regain quickly, and went back up about 50 lbs. (boo)

About 2 months again I recommitted to using MFP and have lost 20 lbs, so I'm currently down about 30 lbs. I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance, and I work on a moderate carb diet. I want to cook more often (and improve my cooking skills), and consume limited amounts of processed foods and starchy carbs. Overall I want to lose 70-100 lbs, and maintain by ongoing tracking, 1 hour + exercise per day (emphasizing weights), and being very careful to follow diet appropriate for insulin resistance. Looking for people to cheer on and be cheered on by.
