Totally agree! I always had issues but doctors never connected the dots. It wasn't until after my son was born that my doctor said "I think it might be PCOS" but offered no help beyond that. My next doctor said she didn't think it was PCOS because I had gotten my weight controlled and was lucky enough to not have "severe…

Thank you everyone! I realize it is a very large goal...and I'm fully aware that most likely losing that amount in a year is not going to happen.

Hi there! I'm new to Ohio (been here a year but still feel new). I don't have a lot of friends, and I am struggling to lose some weight. Looking to make some new friends, find some support and offer the same. Anyone out there?

I don't always log my water in. I think this is because I know that I'm drinking more than enough water on a regular basis. I drink at least 2.5 Quarts of water each day. If it is very hot or I have been very active then I will drink up to a gallon of water in a single day.

Welcome back and good luck! I lost 55 pounds for my wedding in 2008 and gained 45 of it back really quickly too. Everyone kept saying "happiness will do that to you" but it just depressed me more. I'm getting back on track too and hoping this site will help me out as well. Good luck and good to meet ya!
