My name is Michelle.  I've dealt with weight issues since age 20.  I developed PCOS and the nightmare started....weight gain, acne, infertility, more weight gain.  I've taken off and put on probably 3 of myself in weight.  Surgery helped the rest of the symptoms, but I didn't phase the weight until I was placed in a Metformin Study for women with PCOS.  I began taking the med and began to melt.  I melted away about 90lbs and didn't know what was happening to me was dumping syndrome caused by the med.  Hey, it worked for a while and keeps my bloodwork in line, but I began failing to respond to the drug and the weight began to creep up...to within 15 lbs of my heaviest recorded weight.  I'm tired of the battle and ready to win the war....

I refuse to age frumpishly and sickly.......I will go kicking and screaming to hold on to my vigor and some semblance of my youth and healthy self.  I want to physically feel good again...buy small sizes from the sale racks again...travel to swimsuit destinations and not just ride on the back of our motorcycle, but feel good enough about myself to ride one of my own ..I'd like to try my hand at runnning ...burn up the tennis court again...and roller skate with my husband!

I have a great husband and wonderful parents who are rooting me on and supportive of my journey....Thank you God!

Let's begin the journey!!!
