Hi my name is Deidra, I'm 20 i'm 5'7 and now weigh 240 pounds..waaaay too much for my age and height.. Seems like all this extra baggage" just creeped up! for the past ten years i've been sick on and off which started the weight gain, when i was 16 i lost 30lbs and felt so great!! i was around 160 still to much for my height but i was happy!! Two years ago my Gyno said i have PCOS which causes alot of my weight problem......Anyways I'd love to meet some other gals that also have weight problems and maybe issues with PCOS, most of my friends are slender and don't have weight problems, they gripe when they gain two pounds, and i think geez i would love to gripe about gaining two pounds and being that size! I'm planning a wedding for september/october of next year and would love to be at my goal weight, but i find that i don't really have much support with it
