Smile Newbie Here!

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to pop in here and say a quick hello
Im Victoria, and Im 21, from Ireland.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see from my tracker in my sig
that Im 238lb and want to be 140lb.. so Im here hoping
to find some support and help in getting there!

Have tried all the diets under the sun, and have never been
able to loose more than maybe 10lbs.. lack of will power,
wrong diet, poor choices.. maybe all of them, I dont know
but whatever it is, it hasnt worked so far and I need some
help!

Ive recently been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovaries)
which could be half the battle, but Id still like to meet some
women in the same boat as me, battling the bulge!

Nice to meet you all and hope to get to know u better.

V x

Hello Victoria and Melissa,
I'm a "newbie" too, and it appears that we are pretty close in our starting weights. I am in hopes I will find the help and support from this site that I need to succeed this time.

Hello Victoria, Melissa, and Kathryn,

Victoria we both share a lot of similiarities. I too have been diagnosed with PCOS. I also have a little angel in heaven *Mia Ann* 22weeks non-viable. She is a twin survivor to Aliyah Lenn my little miracle born 1lb 3ozs. (IVF)

I started a diet yesterday. I have never really tried very hard in the past do to lack of will power. But I am determine to make it work this time. I do not want to continue at this weight (212 lbs). It is getting to hard to handle and I do not like the way I look at all anymore. I feel really lazy and with new babie this is unacceptable. My husband makes little comments, nothing offense just small enough to let me know he is aware of the change.

I recently joined a gym on Friday. I welcome the support through this endeavor. I know its one day at time, but it will be worth it all in the end.

Trish

thanks trish.. *hugs* Im sorry for your loss, although I wouldnt wish it on anyone, nice not to feel so alone..

Talk to u all soon!
