in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone :# . My name is Andrea and I'm beginning my health and wellness journey today. I'm very excited and grateful to have found this community/platform to openly discuss and motivate each other! A little about me, I have been struggling with insulin resistance, T2D, and PCOS for a long time. Weight management has been difficult as my weight yo-yo's up and down. My reason for getting healthy is to feel better and live a more sustainable lifestyle. I welcome anybody who would like to join and be friends. Stay healthy and safe-XO <3

    Hi, Andrea, and welcome!

    It sounds like you have several challenges, but I'm confident you can overcome them: Some reasons to succeed, plus patience and persistence, can be pretty magical. I'm in a different spot (my challenges were more about age, self-indulgent tendencies, persistent high cholesterol/blood pressure, among other things), but MFP helped me a great deal. I've seen others succeed with PCOS, IR, T2D, and sometimes even put those conditions in remission.

    I'm not super-high-participating/helpful in the MFP friend area, sadly (more of a Community forum gal, I guess), but I wanted to wish you much success here!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm utilizing all the tools available to me to help control my chronic health conditions. In return I hope to maybe help others along my journey. I understand nutrition and exercise play I large role. I will continue to be diligent and patient. Much success to you as well <3 .

    I'm 38 (soon to be 39 next month) mom of 1 daughter. We live in SC and I've been on mfp what seems forever. I love to find friends that actually log in, comment on posts or post what they have going on in their own lives. I have PCOS & diet/exercise controlled type 2 diabetes so logging and tracking are a big part of my world. I also write a blog every 2 weeks or so with recipe swaps, food finds, etc.

    I do a lot of walking when I can and often try to get to Zumba a couple times a week. I have a YMCA membership but don't use the gym as often as I should.... shame on me. My husband and daughter are my whole world except when I'm reading a good novel, then I fall into that world and need them all to leave me alone. LOL.

    Sending a friend request. :smile:
