New here too

[losing_with_PCOS]

I'm going to be starting Atkins on Sun (have to go grocery shopping LOL) Was anyone able to go off Met after being on Atkins? My mother is going to do it with me. I've done it before & lost 40 lbs, but found it too difficult to stay on. I'm going to try harder this time. Hope to get to know you all!

Hey Losingw/PCOS!! I'm glad to see you!!

If you get a chance, please tell us a little more about yourself.

There are several of us ladies here on the board with PCOS, so you are not alone. Our stories are throughout this PCOS forum and you will find many people like you working on getting everything straightened out through diet and exercise.

I am glad you're here sharing your adventure to getting healthy and losing weight with us!

Welcome Aboard!!

Let's see I'm 33, I have a beautiful dd who is 3. I live in middle TN. My highest weight was 330. I lost 110lbs on WW, got pg & gained 80 lbs & haven't taken it off. My ultimate goal is to get down to 130, but right now, I'm just trying to get to pre-pg weight. My dh & I are actually ttc right now. With the PCOS I'm not sure how easily that's going to happen w/all the extra weight. So, I'm going to lose weight while ttc. I'm actually pretty nervous about doing this, because I'm a HUGE carb addict. Anyway, I look forward to getting know everyone

Nice to meet you!

I'm your neighbor! I live in South Central Tennessee -- about an hour south of Nashville.

BTW, what name do you like to go by? My name is Kathleen and I go by Kat.

This is the way to go if you want to break that carb addiction. Like you said before, just take it a day at a time and before you know it a week will have gone by, then a month, several months, etc.

Glad to have you aboard!

I live about 30 min north of Nashville. LOL

Do you get plenty of snow there? In four years we've only got about an inch or two and that was February 2002. We'd like to move somewhere where we will actually have snow to go outside and play in (with our doggies).

I'm from Louisiana and always thought we'd get snow if we moved further north, like TN, but so far I was wrong.

[losing_with_PCOS]

I know last year we got enough to make a snowman & make snow angels. Here's some pics of my dd




We actually moved further north than these pictures were taken, so we're hoping to get at least a little more snow.

Your daughter is so cute and looks like she's having such fun! See...that's what I want to do too!! (giggle)

So, just 30 minutes north of Nashville and we could have snow like that? Woo Hoo!

My DH was considering Marysville for the university and all the hiking trails they have in that area. Ever been there?

[losing_with_PCOS]

no, I've never been to Marysville. Not even sure where it is. LOL I would love to live in Gatlinburg, but unfortunately, there's not a lot of tech jobs there for dh. We love it here though.

BTW can't wait to try some of your recipes!!!
