Hello!
I'm fat. Yup! *giggles*
I'm 280 atm, but aggressively looking to control it. I found this place while searching for PCOS/weight problems...and lookie!
It took me a while to say hi, since I lurk alot first, post later
I have gotten a load of bloodwork done recently as well as a glucose test, and my results are in for this Friday...can you say nervous?
I have a loving fiance, who supports me every step. We'll be married this May...fat or not
I'm not going to freak out and rush to loose before the wedding. I know this process takes time.
So yeah...Hello and I'll be lurking from time to time.
Thanks for the inspiration as well! You all rock.

Welcome. I am new too. I am on day three and today was much better than the last two. This is a great place of support and inspiration. Coming on here when the desire to eat gets to be too much. I am feeling optimistic this go around.

Hi retrogirl!
Congrats on your upcoming wedding, fat or not! - got my fingers-crossed on the test results - sounds like you have the right approach for achieving a healthier you - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs. I'm sure you must have already found the forums on PCOS.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Thanks everyone.
I've seen some of the most inspirational words come from these forums.
I look up and also see some very inspirational people.
I hope to one day inspire someone too!
I'll update with my results as well.

So follow up...what a strange trip this is going to be
-PCOS...nope. I was misdiagnosed in highschool, however the BC I've been on since then (almost 10 yrs), has screwed up alot! I'm getting off that and into an IUD for now. My estrogen is off and I'm low in some vitamins, and officially deficient in vitamin D. Taking about 4000u/day for 3 months! Yikes!
- I'm taking a health class my doctor has, it's free so why not? My man's taking it too!
- I'm re vamping my habits as we speak. Cutting out heavily processed foods altogether, and carbs (veggies, however allowed) after 2pm.


Thanks all! I can't wait to get on track again!
