I am 29 years old and have known I have PCOS for about 3 years now, but until the last couple of months I haven't done much research about it, nor have I truly understood the impact it has on my body. Now that I know just how devastating insulin resistance can be, I am determined to overcome it. I have always been heavy, and no matter how hard I have tried I could never get below a certain level. I have learned how to combat that, now I just have to put everything I've learned to good use!
With that said, I need help meeting people. I am very introverted and don't always know how to communicate with people I haven't met before. One of my new year's resolutions is to meet new people, which to me is much more daunting than changing my eating habits and losing 50 lbs. So please contact me, talk to me, and help me to meet people and lose weight!
Welcome to 3FC!
I am pretty new here myself, but if you go peeking through forums, you'll find there's one that actually has a section on PCOS/Insulin Resistance!
I, myself was diagnosed with Insulin Resistance last month, and am also trying to learn how to eat in a healthy way that will assist me in losing weight!!
Hey I'm new here too. I have more than one friend who has pcos and is taking glucophage to help process carbs. I just want to let you know that its not hopeless. It may be harder but they both maintain healthy weights with diet and exercise! And here we'll all be rooting for you!!
Congrats on the divorce and welcome!
Thanks for all the support! Dogs, thanks for reminding me about the forum. I caught a glimpse of it as I was initially looking through the website, but I forgot about it.
Noel, thanks for the congrats. It's the best thing I've done for myself since I graduated college, before I got married!
Now if I can just force myself to get to the grocery store and buy healthy foods, instead of subsisting on whatever I can find...
