About

I am a current sufferer of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). After many years of dieting, exercising, and doing whatever I could to try to lose weight, I realized that I needed some help. I've struggled with weight all of my life and nothing ever seemed to work for me, despite hours at the gym, healthy eating, and determination. I joined Dr. Bernstein on January 5, 2010 when I finally realized that I needed help in order to feel better and manage the symptoms of PCOS.

Measurement and Weight Update

Hello! 

I just wanted to update you on my weight and measurements for this Wed!

I lost 3/4 inch off my hips since 3 weeks ago and 1 inch off my waist.  So in 3 weeks I lost 1.75 inches!  I lost more around my legs and chest but they only measure your waist and hips.

I also FINALLY lost weight on a Wednesday!  I am down 1 lb since Monday (exactly!)!  I am now off my antidepressants entirely and am only take my one multi-vitamin a day and 3 potassium pills twice daily, and 6 metamucil tablets once daily.  YEAH, NO MORE PRESCRIPTION MEDS!!!!  I don't remember the last time I wasn't on any prescription meds!!  Yeah for me!  I will be starting on some new potassium pills here shortly called K-Lyte and they are supposed to help get rid of my cold chills/shivers that I have everyday.  Just waiting for the Pharmacist to order them in for me!

I also had my first clothing crisis this morning and I officially do not have much to wear in terms of shirts anymore and I will be going shopping today for a smaller size (large)! Everything I own, with the exception of very few items are loose and baggy on me.  I also need some new jeans finally as the 2 pairs I have left are falling off my hips/waist!

Well, I should get back to work but I will write again on Friday with another weight update!

Current Weight: 186.4
Starting Weight: 218.4
Total Weight Loss since Jan 5th (or 9 weeks)  - 32 lbs
Inches lost on Waist: 7.5 inches
Inches lost on HIps: 3.25 inches
