I want to make a change

Hello all! I'm a new face here, and just wanted to introduce myself.
I'm Shannon. I've been large most of my life, and am looking for a positive change. I've tried dieting and exercise before, and with no real lasting results, and so I'm here in hopes that support from others going through the same struggles is the ingredient that's been missing in the past. I have roughly 150-175 lbs to lose, and once I reach that point, to some I'll still be considered overweight, but it'll be a weight that's comfortable for me.
I have a little boy who's a year and a half old, so I have some baby fat going on, along with what I already had. A year ago, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which I'm told has an effect on my weight and the ability to lose it. I'm on Metformin to help treat it. But when it comes to dieting and exercise, I have great intentions, just sometimes lack motivation and follow through. Sometimes I lack the belief that I'll ever reach my goal. So I'm here. I've loved reading the posts so far, and hope to give back as much as I'm getting out of the experience so far.
So Hello!

Welcome aboard and good luck. I have a 1.5 year old boy as well and since i started the journey (although i didn't lose much yet), i find that i have a lot more energy to play with him. Post often and tell us how you're doing
