Just thought I would let everyone know that September is PCOS Awareness Month. I am going to do everything I can tell help inform more people about PCOS. I am sharing info on my MFP profile and on my Facebook Weightloss Journey page. Many people have PCOS and don't realize it, plus many people don't know anything about…

Looking for new friends
I have been on here almost a year. Been on my journey for almost 2 years. Started at 315 pounds (5'4) and now at 240.8 pounds. It started out easy and slowing down. I want to get to 180 pounds only because I have never been under 200 pounds. Looking for new supportive friends. I also struggle with PCOS and psoriatic…

Almost halfway point (pic included)
I just wanted to share my progress as of right now. I still have a long way to go, but I am getting there. I have always been overweight, but a few years ago I hit my biggest. Along with it came tons of health issues. I have had high blood pressure since I was a teen, PCOS, and got Psoriatic Arthritis in my early 20s. A…

6 month obgyn check up
Well, yesterday was my 6 month check up. First thing the doctor noticed was the fact that I have lost a lot of weight. He said I was doing great. Told me that 180 pounds would be an excellent weight for me to get to to try to get pregnant, which is my goal weight. Said once I get to that point, he will have me get off the…

Spirnalactone and hair
I know a lot of ladies have been posting a lot about how to get rid of the extra unwanted hair lately. I have been on the spirnalactone for a few years now. I have noticed how the hair on my legs aren't that bad, but never really paid attention anywhere else. Well, I have now just realized that the hair on my stomach isn't…

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I am going on my first ever 5k. I wanted to start with a 3k, but I have friends doing this 5k, so I signed up for it. I can't run yet, so I am going to walk it. Running hurts my knees right now. Tuesday I decided to do 2 miles on the treadmill just get myself prepared and I did 2.21 miles in…

Having trouble finding a good bread
In the past I have always gotten Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread. It has always been my favorite, until recently. I got some and it tasted sweet. There is nothing I dislike more than sweet bread. Blah. So I decided to try Nature's Pride Double Fiber and the same thing, it tasted sweet. Assuming my taste buds are changing…

Hi
Hi I just joined this group. Glad to find it. I was diagnosed with PsA about 3 years ago. I know I actually started having issues with it 10 years ago, but it took me going to tons of doctors to find out what is wrong. Been on Diflunisal and Sulfasalazine for a little over a year now. Went almost a year pain free. Well the…

Excite, not a weight success but an exercise success
I have been going to the gym over a year now. Recently changed gyms so it was closer to home because I always made excuses to drive to the other one. Well, since being at the new gym (a little over 2 months), I have been going 3 times a week for an hour to an hour and a half. At the old gym I may have gone 2 times a week…
