And so it begins...

I started this blog as a way for me to journal  my PCOS and weight loss journey.  The idea is to get healthy and better myself so that my husband and I can start thinking about having children.  What is PCOS you ask? Poly-cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine (hormonal) disorder. The hormonal imbalance causes follicles not to mature and release their eggs,resulting in infertility. Instead, the immature follicles in the ovaries develop into small cysts.


So now that you're up to speed...THIS is what I'm dealing with.  There is no known cure for PCOS but research states that weight loss can help with ovulation and other symptoms. I have already lost 12lbs but I would like to lose 57 more...wish me luck!
