    ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

    I am a very outgoing person, this weight seems to pulls me down. Inside I know I am hot and sexy and thin.. but it has been hard to keep that person out. I was almost there in 2003 I was at 160-170 and then I gained it all back that I lost. How in the **** did I let that happen. YUCK. But what matters it that I am working on gaining control and I know that I can not just sti down and eat all that bad stuff and I need to make the right decision and look at this as my new way of life and more forward. I am looking forward to shedding this weight and getting a hot ans exy body so I can dance all night long with my hubby. :-)

    ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
    I have yet to be diagnosed, largely in part (or at least I believe this to be true) because I'm a thin cyster with regular menstruation (my progesterone's so low I'm not sure I'm even ovulating!). Recent excessive hair shedding beginning in June that has not subsided. Repeatedly dismissed as stress related even though I'm well aware that the past year of my life has been the most fulfilling and peaceful EVER! Discouraged because my saliva tests indicate a very elevated testosterone level but bloodwork doesn't. The salivary testing was done through ZRT labs (completely legit and certified) yet none of my current health care providers are interested in my "internet" tests!

    WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Being super-strict and not seeing the scale move. I've been trying to lose for 2+ years and have only lost 12 lbs. (4 of which have been since starting PCOS treatment on the 24th).

    WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I am super-motivated now that DH wants a child. I've also taken my doc's advice and started eating to make me feel good and not according to what a book says. It must be working along with the Metformin as I've lost 4 lbs. since August 27th.

    ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

    I've been known to be flaky. Not something I'm proud of, but I get extremely involved in my work or home life and don't make time for anything else. Sometimes I'll post for a month straight and then not post for a week. It all depends on what's going on in my life.

    WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I almost never ever stray from the JC diet food plan, and I'm not eating out, and I'm finally taking medication for my IR. *Metformin messed up my tummy so I'm not on Meridia*

    ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

    I definitely believe God brings to the table only what we can handle. I lost my job, found out my husband was leaving for Iraq and realized I was IR all within the span of one month. Hubby is now stationed in Iraq and I miss him dearly. However, we're taking this time apart to work on ourselves. I'm on my strict diet, working out and he's working on those washboard abs he used to have back in the day when we met! LOL... so hopefully if we can work on ourselves once we finally come back together we'll be one heck of a team!

    Hmm, I've been termed with the diagnosis of PCOS since, I was Thirteen years old, which in my case had lead me down the path of depression... and further into not wanting to really live... Almost becoming suicidal in some aspects.

    It is only really now, that I'm actually learning to deal with the fact that I have PCOS.

    So far, I have had two Operations concerning cysts in ze Ovary, When I was thirteen and shortly after I just turned eighteen...

    The Scarring was another aspect, that had made me so un-happy.

    I had felt so ugly.. back then, and now...

    Now I can only smile, Because I know for a fact, that despite having PCOS, I am a beautiful person, inside and out...

    We all are, So smile...

    WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: falling off the band wagon when I don't see results and mindless eating

    WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: It's not a "diet" for me anymore. I'm ready to change my life. My goal is 140 but I will stay on this "diet" and keep my exercise schedule even if I don't lose the weight. I'll do it for my health, for my children, and for my husband. I just feel better when I'm eating right and exercising. Physically, emotionally, and mentally.

    ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
    I copied this from my introduction post

    I'm 37(in a week), married for 14 years this month, and have 2 children. My first daughter was an oops in which I am most greatful.(I did not know at the time how difficult it would be to get pregnant with my second daughter). After my pregnancy I came home from the hospital weighing 165 pounds, 30 pounds more than I weighed when I got pregnant. I stayed at that weight while breastfeeding. When I stopped, I was in for a shock. I gained 30 pounds in less than 2 months. And had some other pcos symptoms I had dealt with for years get much worse (total confusion at the time). That was 1994.

    Many diets, pills, exercise plans, not to mention tears later, I was diagnosed with Pcos in 1998 after 2 years of infertility. I had had the symptoms since 1984. My weight was not an issue for me before my first pregnancy. I did have many of the other pcos symptoms though. From 1998 to 2003 we spent a small fortune trying to get pregnant. My weight fluctuated between 184 and 206. In 2003 I hit rock bottom. I lost my job and could not afford the treatments anymore. I was depressed, fat, broke, and infertile. Which was all quite a catalyst for a big pity party and boy did I throw one. My problem is no one wanted to come. Unless you have been there you don't really understand. I didn't know anyone else who had been there. My party lasted about 3 months and then one day I decided to shave my beard(Thank you pcos). I had gotten lazy about it over the last few months. Oh, did I mention I have a wonderful, understanding and handsome husband! As I looked in the mirror it occured to me that I have a beautiful daughter, great husband and there are many other people much worse off than me. Get over it!!

    I called my endocronoligist, made an appointment, started back low carbing (I had had some success with it before) and started back exercising. (exercised regularly before my party) I came to the realization that I was only going to be blessed with one child and had made my own peace with that. 6 months later, 8 pounds lighter, I was pregnant! I was extremely focused with my food during pregnancy, even with the gestational diabetes. Came home weighing 20 pounds more than when I got pregnant. Low carbed right off the bat, 9 months later back to 185. And stuck there. So... I gave up. Until now.

    Fast forward to today. I've lost and gained the same 7 pounds in the last 3 years it's laughable. I'm ready for change my life for good. I have researched or been on many diets over the years and I know it's burn more than go in but with the pcos it's not that simple. I have decided to go on the "cave-man" diet or paleolithic diet right after the holidays. I will be watching the carbs more than the diet calls for just because of the pcos. I will also start back on my exercise program. I'm bound and determined to not quit and stay on this program. Before I found this site I signed up for another blog and plan on documenting my progress. In my mind I've told myself that 2008 is my year.

    Are there any pcos women here that have done the paleolithic diet? What results have you seen? Actually, I would be interested in anyones results on this diet. My whole family is doing this with me. If they want processed junk they offered to get it at school and work.

    Think that's it.
