  • I just turned 40 this past summer. I don't want another decade like the last...steadily watching the scale creep up and my energy decline. Time to reverse it. Anyone that wants to add me feel free to do so. :smile:
  • I have SO been there! Knowing what I need to do, but not feeling like doing it. Maybe start small? When you pour some champagne, pour half what you normally would and do that for a week. Then the next week find another small thing to change...a few small changes can add up over time. Best of luck!
  • Hi. I'm sending you a friend request. I also have PCOS. I was diagnosed in 2001, but probably had PCOS my entire life or at least since my teens.

I'm sending you a friend request. Anyone please…
  • I'm also sending you a friend request. Currently I want to lose 50, but once I get to that goal, I plan to reassess and see if another 20 or 25 seems possible!

  • I would love to join you! I had been up as high as 205. I'm just shy of 5'5" and am currently at ~198. I haven't completely decided on my goal weight yet. I would love to be back at my high school weight of ~125. But am thinking for now I should shoot for 150 as that will put me just back into the normal BMI range. So I…
