Hey ladies (or should I say PCOSisters),

I just wanted to see if anyone was interested in a PCOS challenge of some type? It could be exercise, cheat-free, water, etc.

If you are interested in doing something like this with your other PCOSisters, please let me know by posting and putting down what type of challenge would work best for you. If there are at least two or three of us who are interested, then we can start something for November.

Remember, you are not alone in this and together we can fight all these symptoms by eating right, exercising and keeping a good, positive attitude to move ahead. Working at it now will possibly increase our health by next year at this time. And wouldn't it feel good to have a year's worth of this behind you? Especially if you were 20, 30, 50 or 100 pounds lighter? What a joyful year that would be!

So, we've got to plan now so next year we can look back and see the journey we took and be so happy with our accomplishment.

Anyone game?

I am up for something! I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 15 - irregular periods, tired, foggy memory, water retention, weight gain, etc. and after learning about low carb, I regulated my cycles completely naturally, and have 3 beautiful kids (under age 5!) that I was told I would never have. I love being in control of PCOS through diet, and feeling and looking so much better.
I would do any challenge - water is easy, and no cheating is easy for me - the EXERCISE is the tough one - I am UP FOR THAT! I need the motivation. I need a partner in crime......

Hi my I am new to this board and just started Atkins for the second time 5 days ago. I am 36 yrs old, single clinical social worker. I live in Boston. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 28 yrs old. I had developed a dermoid cyst and found out through an ultrasound. But since I was 12 my TOM was always off, I wouldn't get it for about 2-3 mths so I have often bought many pregnancy test out of fear....
Either way, it's nice to know there are people like me out there. I haven't met many.....I hope that I can change my eating habits here and I know that if I continue this way of like I will be healthier and much leaner. Right now I am at 176 lbs....after many changes in my life and difficult break up I gained weight. I healthy weight for me is 145 but I haven't been there for 6 yrs....I am committed to this as well as working out which I love when I get into it.
Anyway, hope to stay connected
