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.

No loss today for the first time

Well, as you can guess from the title of my blog, I did not lose a pound since Monday.  Very strange but I think it has to due to 2 factors:

1) on Monday I was weighed before I ate my breakfast
2) I had a luncheon for work and I picked a garden salad but I had a lemon vinegrette dressing and it probably had sugar in it and other fat I cannot have

So I am hoping that Friday's weigh-in will show weight loss as I was hoping to lose 5lbs by the end of the week. 

Feeling frustrated but its so hard when you go for lunch and there are no healthy choices - especially for people like me who are on a strict diet. But I could have done worse and ordered the pasta or burger on the menu and instead I ordered a garden salad. 

Also, for now on I will eat my breakfast and get weighed afterward so that my results are the same. I'm sure that if I ate my breakfast on Monday, my weight would have been higher and I wouldn't have shown as big of loss as I did on Monday.  So I guess it evened out in the end. 

I'm still down 11lbs and my 2-week goal on Monday was 208-211 and I'm at 207.2 so I am still meeting it.  My next 2-week goal (Feb 1st) is 198-202 so I hope I can meet it.

Well, wish me luck for Friday! I will need it!
