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.

I Survived Easter!

Well I survived Easter! One of my first Holidays that I made it through without blowing my diet or going overboard with eating! I did allow myself to have some no sugar added apple pie but that didn't screw up my weight loss at all.  I went in for a weigh in again today and am down 3 lbs since last Wednesday (2 lbs since Monday).

I do hope that I reach my weight goal by the end of June as intended and get to go on maintanence by that time.  I'm going to stop this diet no matter what weight I'm at by the end of June due to financial reasons but it would be nice to hit that magic number so I can get advice for doing the maintenance plan.  I have been told that they won't tell you about the maintenance plan until you reach that magic number.   

On another note, I think that our new benefit plan may cover a portion of this diet which would be super awesome!  If it does, I may be able to extend my diet past the end of June to reach my goal weight!  I won't find out until after my husband's new benefit plan kicks in but its something to look forward to :-).

I'm now wearing a size 12 pant and they are already getting loose on me.  I just bought 2 new pairs of size 12 pants last Thursday.  I bought them tight fitting and now they are loose in the waist and baggy at the knees and legs! I am now wearing all size Medium shirts (I have hardly any size Large tops left in my closet).  I am only keeping size Large tops that are meant to fit a little bigger but I think I'm going to have to recycle them soon! Gosh, this diet is expensive!  Not only do I have to pay that huge fee every month but I also have to buy new clothes about every 2 to 3 weeks!  I cannot wait until I get to my goal weight so I can buy one size and stay there!

My results are below.

Current weight as of April 7th: 174.8
Starting Weight as of Jan 5th: 218.4
Total loss as of April 7th: 43.6 lbs (I'm rounding it to 44lbs!)
