Hello,

My name is Monica and I am yet another newbie to this formum/support system. I actually found this site when I was searching for weight loss plans.

I am 24 years old, have PCOS with insulin resistance and NEED to lose some freakin' weight.

I currently weight 224 pounds and would like to get down to 140, maybe 130.

Hi Raye! Welcome

Your goal is totally do-able! Hang with us (literally, after you've lost some weight) and jump right into the discussions. check out the 20-something's forum. Lots of encouragement to be had by all.

Hey Monica! I'm with ya... I'm 25 and have PCOS and insulin resistance also. I think my PCOS symptoms have gotten better with weight loss, but I know how hard it can be. I'm doing a low-carb plan and its been working for me. Some people like other plans better, whatever fits in best with their lifestyle and body. If you're like me, I would have serious sugar cravings... so bad that I felt like if I didn't eat something sweet I would go crazy! Once I changed my diet, I found that the cravings have lessened considerably... almost nonexistent.

Best of luck to you! I'm new here too and I've been posting in the 20-something support group thread. Come on over and join us!
