Anything else we should know about you: I was diagnosed last year with "indeterminate PCOS" which I'm pretty sure my doc needs to run more tests since thyroid/adrenal issues run in the family. I'm trying an adjusted Goal in MFP to do a 40/30/30 for carbs/fat/protein since people with PCOS are prone to Type 2 Diabetes (also runs in the family) and are recommended to eat more protein and less carbs. I am a Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian and have been all my life. I enjoy outdoor activities and gained almost everything I lost last year over the winter here in Chicago because I don't like exercising inside--esp. when the air is SUPER DRY...and was depress etc. Getting back on track with jogging on the lakefront. Glad we're all here! Let's keep some butt!
