Hi everyone!

My name is LouAnne,I have been a lurker and am so encouraged by you all that I have decided to join. I am 35 years old,have polycystic ovarian syndrome and recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. I need to lose about 117 pounds. I am blessed to have a beautiful 8 year old daughter,who is the light of my life. I am currently an at home mom,which has made weight loss a bit more difficult for me.

My first goal is to lose 27 pounds by March 16th,my 36th birthday. Please feel free to email me anytime. I would love to have a "healthy buddy" with whom I can share the journey with!

Thank you all!

LouAnne

Hey LouAnne!

Welcome to the board! I will speak for everyone here when I sayw we are so very happy to have you here. I have about the same amount of pounds to lose..and I am getting anxious about it. I am hoping to lose some weight before Valentine's Day...to look a little better in whatever I wear =)

But in any case, I'm Sara, and if you ever need anything, email me!

Also, check out our websites that are linked on our profiles. Some of them like Shawna are sooo inspiring!!

Hi! I also have PCOS, and hypothyroidism. It makes things harder, but lowcarbing has been helping my insulin resistance SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! The first few days I felt like something the cat threw up, but since then I have been pretty stoked, and not having a bad time at all.

I want to lose 115 lbs. That's my "goal" but if I think I look and feel wonderful at 110 lbs, or 105, or not til 125, that will change. For now, I am looking at 115 as my happy place.

This board is really great so post up and post often. You'll be better for it.

Hugs

Mel
