That was a fantastic post. I went through the same thing about possible polycystic ovaries and ended up taking Northisterone/ Provera for 4 years to help regulate my periods. After 4 years of struggle, and complaining that these tablets are making me feel worse and like a zombie, I finally threw them out in Jan 08. I had put on an astronomical amount of weight and am struggling to shake it off.

When I say, I know exactly where you are coming from and what you are going through, I mean it from the bottom of my heart. It is almost as if you are describing me a few months ago. I found out that the hormone imbalance triggered my present state of Metabolic Syndrome which prevented me from losing weight and getting on with my life. I am determined not to let these diseases take the better off me, and I would like to be there to celebrate my son’s 18th birthday.

Thankyou for your inspiration and this list you mention, works wonderfully. Thanks

Just popping in! My computer bit the dust with all my feeds on it, so I haven’t been blogging regularly (we’re also putting our house on the market, with all the work that goes into that), but saw this article in our local paper and wanted to share it with you. Unfortunately, my scanner isn’t working now, so I can’t send you the pix, but you can read the article here: http://www.djournal.com/pages/story.asp?ID=276564&pub=1&div=Lifestyles

The “after” picture of this lady looks **so** awesome! And I know you can be just like her.

I’ve not been doing so great myself — not exercising regularly, eating too much. My own fault — no one’s fault but my own. Keep up the good work! Today is the first day of the rest of my life. As soon as I clean my kitchen, I’m going to do an exercise video.

This is a really good idea and I’m going to put my reasons on my blog. So often people think it’s all about vanity. Health has always been my #1 reason for losing weight. There are more, but that’s my primary reason.

Powerful post. I’m a fan of journaling: goals, food intake, emotions. Putting it in writing increases my self-awarness and my accountability.

Hmm, keep us posted. My doctor told me I need to be checked for that. I haven’t done enough link clicking, actually to get more information. Maybe later today if time permits.

You have a good attitude…stay positive!

Don’t beat yourself up about the wrong choices if the right ones aren’t available to make. I look forward to getting my head round your challenge tonight, it’ll be a really useful exercise.

Btw, I hope you’ll be booking that vacation sooner rather than later, you deserve it!!

I will be accepting the challenge to write down my reasons for losing weight as soon as time allows!

Yeah to you for looking objectively at everything and creating your plan. I’ve always said that keeping my eyes on the main goal is the main thing behind any success that I’ve had! Good for you!
