I am new here, and just started the SBD yesterday after being diagnosed late last month with PCOS.

I have about 80 pounds I would like to lose, although I think if I lose 50, I will be in a healthier range than I am now.

I have not been able to stick to any kind of diet before, however I have been really good at working out regularly.

So I am off to change my lifestyle. Here goes nothing!

Good luck on your journey to being healthier! It's hard, but if you're persistent you'll make it! Be sure to utilize the support that this forum can provide. It's very helpful when you have questions or just need a good word from someone.

You can do this! Hubby and I are on Southbeach, too, and we love this plan. Take some time to look around...there are many different forums that might interest you...like Chicks on the Beach, or dieting with PCOS/Insulin Resistance. I hang out on the 100lb club forum.
