Hello,

My name is Monica and I am yet another newbie to this formum/support system. I actually found this site when I was searching for weight loss plans.

I am 24 years old, have PCOS with insulin resistance and NEED to lose some freakin' weight.

I currently weight 224 pounds and would like to get down to 140, maybe 130.

Hi Raye! Welcome

Your goal is totally do-able! Hang with us (literally, after you've lost some weight) and jump right into the discussions. check out the 20-something's forum. Lots of encouragement to be had by all.

So, everyone seems to have these cools "tickers" that show their weights loss progress, how do I get one?

You must prove yourself worthy, little grasshopper! In other words, ya hafta be here at least 20 days and have at least 20 posts.

ah! Got ya....I'll get crackin' on that provin' myself worthy stuff! Thanks for letting me know!

Hey Monica! I'm with ya... I'm 25 and have PCOS and insulin resistance also. I think my PCOS symptoms have gotten better with weight loss, but I know how hard it can be. I'm doing a low-carb plan and its been working for me. Some people like other plans better, whatever fits in best with their lifestyle and body. If you're like me, I would have serious sugar cravings... so bad that I felt like if I didn't eat something sweet I would go crazy! Once I changed my diet, I found that the cravings have lessened considerably... almost nonexistent.

Best of luck to you! I'm new here too and I've been posting in the 20-something support group thread. Come on over and join us!

glad you joined us!
