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.

Not much new to report - went down only 0.2 lbs since Monday.  However, I lost a lot more over the weekend than I usually do so I figured this would happen.  Plus, I usually do not lose weight on Wednesday's so the fact I lsot anything is amazing!  My 2 week goal is 172.6-175.6 (by March 31st) which is a 7-10 lb difference than I am now.  I hope I can reach it!!! I was having problems reaching my 2-week goal in February due to a plateau my body was going through!  However, now I think my body is actually budging. I've been the same weight for so long I think my body has hopefully gotten through the shock and is not going to be stubborn anymore and start losing better!

I have to admit that although I love the results of this diet, its taking a toll on my finances!  I cannot wait for it to be over!  I don't think I can go any longer than June on this diet due to the depletion of my funds.  But I will reassess at that time.  According to their records, I should be at 130 lbs by June 23rd and should be able to go on maintanence at that time.

I was trying to find out some information on the maintenance program but there isn't much out there.  I wish they would tell you more about the foods you can eat and how much you can eat of each. IT would be nice to know how your life will change after the hard part of this diet is over!

Since I want to meet my goal weight of 130 lbs by the end of June, I am going to work sooooooo hard to stick to this diet and not have any "slips".  I've had a few minor slips that haven't affected me any but I want to try and be perfect on it at all times so that I can get the hard part over with and start enjoying my life and new body!
