I see a lot of people with PCOS are taking cinnamon. I'm going to have to try that one out. Anyway, I was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago or so and my doctor suggested going on a low GI diet. It definitely helped me not gain anymore weight, but I didn't seriously try to lose any weight until the beginning of this…

We're pretty close in age. I'm going to be 39 this coming April and 40 next year. GAH!!! My anxiety level goes up everytime I say that number. I, too, want to be healthier at least by the time I'm 40, but hopefully sooner. It's a good goal, though. I have a six year old son to chase after and I'd like to do it without…

Great pictures! I think I'm going to do the same thing myself. I can't believe such a difference with 15 pounds! Good job.

I am simply losing weight for me. I just want to be healthier, happier and able to keep up with my active toddler!!

Not going to make my goal this month. Been laid up with the flu and then that was followed by a sinus infection. Finally feeling like myself again and plan on getting on the treadmill tonight!

No update for me today. I was down with the flu all weekend. Going to take a couple more days to get my strength back. I should have weighed myself today. Pretty sure I lost at least a couple of pounds!! ;)

I have to change my numbers. Accidentally counted in the last week of November onto December. Oops! So far this month I've got 2.92 miles.

I would love to join your group. Just started the Couch 2 5K and so far I'm a week in!
