    What's up, gang? Stick with this, whenever I feel the need to say "screw this, I'm going for a (insert a derailing food)" I look on here first and it puts me back into the right frame of mind.

    Feel free to add as needed

    Hey, I have been here since January and also have PCOS. I have lost 35 lb (some before I joined MFP). It's tough but if you need a friend or support/ advice etc feel free to add me. Good luck and stick with it...it is so worth it : ) xx

    Hello!

    You've definitely come to the right place. I know that losing weight is hard, but the good thing is that you're not alone out there. That's one thing I've learned since joining MFP! You'll be surprised by the number of folks that are sharing some of the exact same challenges as you are! MFP really helps keep me on track when ever I need support or encouragement. No matter what don't give up...mommies are made tough....I know you've got it in you to succeed with this!!!
