Welcome ladies!!!!

Holly!

I am a PCOS girl too. I dont have any meds to take though and am looking at a Complete Hystorectomy before the end of the year due to Severe Endometriosis.

Welcome and post often! These boards are friendly and and very helpful!

Talk to you soon

Welcome, Holly! Glad you're here. Atkins is a wonderful thing!

Hi! Welcome.....I look forward to getting to know. Goodluck

Thank you ladies................. I look forward to shareing my WL with you..sry I haven't been on in 2 days, but this web site confusses me LOL I get lost.. well I don't even look like ive lost weight.... I did my mesurments and I have lost 2ins from my tummy, and 1in from my hips..... thats not 11lbs LOL where did I lose 11lbs at.... Hope you all are doing well TTYL.....

Don't forget, the first 10 or so is usually water weight You should feel less bloated and hey, an inch ANYWHERE is great! Thats 3 inches down and 11lbs gone, way better than if they were gained right? Just keep going and it will start to show. The most important thing is how you feel.

11 lbs is WAY TO COOL !!!

Keep up the good work
