I just want to do a brief introduction, I am one of those that could write a book if I let myself. I am excited to find this board, I really have been trying to get serious about losing weight, and this looks like a nice place to be. I lurk around the Compulsive Overeaters board and I just recently found this board. I currently weigh 378, my start weight is 399, I found out a while ago that I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), I don't know how many of you know about this but it can cause insulin resistance among other unwanted symptoms. Well anyway, for the longest time I was stuck at 350lbs and actually got down to about 320, then I got pregnant and after I had my daughter I ballooned up to 395(funny thing is I didn't gain when I was preg. I gained it after, of all the luck, lol). That was my wake up call I guess and so I have decided to take control. I started really working on my weight and such in the middle of Sept. I managed to lose 25lbs and then I started feeling depression creeping up on me so now I am trying to battle that as well, fortunatly I have only gained back 4lbs (unfortunately that was in two weeks). I know that if I don't start getting a hold of this again I will get deeper into depression and end up back at my start weight. So that is about as brief as I could make my story, I really look forward to this journey I will partake in, I hope I will have much success to celebrate with all of you as I know you all will have much success to celebrate with me.
