Hi everyone - Another newbie here!

[Countrygirl93]

Hi everyone! I just joined this forum this week as I thought it would be a great for some support while trying to lose weight!

I'm a sufferer of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and was diagnosed when I was 19 (I'm 25 now), so losing weight has always been a nightmare for me. It's something the GP's tend not to know a lot about so when I've brought up my weight loss issues with them in the past it's been brushed off as if maybe I'm just not trying hard enough and I don't look like I'm dreadfully overweight (even though I am...I just carry it well!).

I'm starting the 12 week plan, although I'm not recording my weight as I feel I can often get disheartened by the number on the scales, and so instead will focus on feeling healthy and how I feel in my clothes and inches lost (if I manage to lose any!). I've also just completed week 1 of the Couch to 5k (although I've been doing it in the house as I'm a touch low on the self confidence and don't fancy jogging outside just yet!).

I hope everyone's journey is going well and I can meet some new people on here!

Welcome CountryGirl.

We each deal with weight loss in our own way and there's no totally specific route.

I'm sure everyone would still be happy for you to join in today's weekly weigh-in if you are happy to put your measurements down.

Well done on making it through w1 of the c25k. Here's to the next one
