Hello. My name is Jody and I am 37 years old. I am married but no children unless you count my 5 furry ones (3 dogs & 2 cats). I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1995 and recently diagnosed with Syndrome X a form of insulin resistance related to Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I am looking for others with these conditions to correspond with about weight loss.
I have been fighting the weight loss battle most of my life and am at my highest weight ever.
I am new to this forum and hoping to find support and friendship here.
As those of you with any of these conditions know pcos and insulin resistance make it difficult to lose weight because of the way the body uses insulin.
Fibro makes it difficult to exercise because of the pain and fatigue.
I saw a dietitian last week who suggested a diet utilizing the glycemic index. Has anyone heard of or used this before.
I would love to hear from anyone with any of these conditions or anyone just looking to give and get support. I need to lose around 100 pounds so this is going to be a long road.
I hope to hear from someone soon. Best of luck to you all with your fitness efforts.
Sincerely,
Jody
