Newbie here! starting all over on WW, must exercise 7 days/week, PCOS, 100+ goal

  • Hi all

    well my subject line summed me up pretty well!

    I am really in need of some support I think. I sabotage myself (looking back 20/20) often and sometimes it has to do with my health issues. I have insulin resistance/PCOS and it is hard to see results on diets.

    the Dr told me yesterday to get moving 30-60 ++ every day of the week - OR ELSE!

    I am planning to start tomorrow. Walking 20-30 minutes each day... then I think I might join a gym... maybe curves ... and do 3-4 days a week there... then when we open our pool I want to learn how to do some water exercising!! all good on paper- but I have to DO IT.

    Then there's the WW online that I do - I have to reign it in and start up again. I have to watch my fiber and carbs more...

    I'm overwhelmed as usual, but more concerned about follow thru!

    I was hoping to find local walking buddies in teh REading, PA area - but that has been a difficult task... the few online sites I hit - had nothing near me.

    I also need some real good support... a friend in the trenches if you will.

    I am online often use all the IMs when I need to...

    If anyone isn't overwhelmed yet - give me a buzz BLOSSOM696 on the yahoo IM

  • wow. guess my being overwhelmed was even too much for everyone else here. saw 50 views and ZERO replies.
  • Dont get bummed It took me a couple of days before I got any replies. There is a thread somewhere for people with pcos, I'm just not sure where. I belong to a thread 1 year / 100 pounds they are all a great bunch of ladies if you want to drop by.
  • hey hey, i'm also doing the ww thing-just now finding my way back on track after a few months of being a hiatus from it (gained 20 pounds too!)

    i have about 80 pounds to lose if you'd like to buddy up.

    how old are you btw? I'm in md which is just a couple hours from reading.
  • Hi Kimi!
    I am newbie here, also have PCOS, also have 100+ to lose, IM me if you want! Fatt_Lady is my Yahoo Id
  • Hi there.. I just want to say that IMO you are really trying to do too many things at once.. I think walking and maybe curves or some other type of workout is a lot to work on a daily basis and doing weight watchers is wonderful - their diet plan has worked for me in past years but just try not to overwhelm your entire life with diet and exercise or you will get overwhelmed and frustrated and quit. All your ideas are terrific but if it's too much for you all at once just take baby steps.. I know for me I have been semi motivated for a few weeks and have severly changed my grocery list, commited to 3 times a week at curves and bought an ab lounger for home work outs when I feel like it.. and that is a lot in just a couple of weeks. So all I'm saying is, if you feel overwhelmed, you probably are. TONS of LUCK and HUGS to you though, good luck, you can do it!!!
  • I think your right, Brenda.
    Baby steps works. So far, myself, I have cut out soda. I only had a few sips of sprite when I was sick with the flu, and since I was sick I really haven't had an appetite, but even when I did eat I tried to make healthier choices.
