Default Hi I'm New! Niki in Iowa

Hi there! I'm new so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Niki. I just turned 26. I live in Iowa. I have PCOS. I am on 1000mg of Metformin once a day. My husband and I started eating better a few years ago. He is kicking butt. I lost about 30pounds last year, but have gained it back. I need to get the weight off to be healthier, but also to have a baby. Hopefully I can find the extra encouragement and support I need here. I do really well at home, but when I'm on my own I have no willpower and I will sneak junk.

I am starting a Pilates class this week and also going to start working out at Curves for Women 4-5 times a week with a friend.

I would love tips from other women with PCOS about what they eat, etc. Thanks!

I am also starting a blog, just mostly to keep myself accountable for eating, exercise, etc- nikers85.wordpress.com.

Welcome to the forum! Under the Dieting With Obstials forum you will find many members who have PCOS and have had weight loss success.
Best of luck on your weight loss journey!

Hey Niki!

I have PCOS. It doesn't need to prevent you from achieving your goals, you may just need to do a little tweaking of your plan. Do head on over to the "Dieting with Obstacles" PCOS forum to check it out.

We have a ton of other groups and clubs as well, so look around, find a spot, and jump on in. Can't wait to get to know you better!
