I'm 35, 5'2", single, no children. I live with my BF of 5 years and we're planning on getting married next March.
Diabetes runs in my family (dad's side) and luckily my brother and I do not have it. Both my dad and his father acquired it during there 30's.
I do have PCOS and these days it seems they've figured this is related to insulin levels produced by the body. Females with PCOS are given medicines for people with diabetes to control their insulin production. I have found that LC works well too.
In 1996 after being in an unhappy 2 year relationship I put on about 40lbs and reached #182 before I decided to do something about it. I started on Phen/Fen for 3 months (this was before the press release…I had been off them a while by then) and dropped the first #25 w/ out much problems and no exercise.
I held fast to #156 for about a year. I decided it was time to exercise if I wanted to shed the rest…heck, if Oprah can run a marathon…so can I!!!
So that's what I did. Began training in March1997 and ran my first marathon (26.2 miles or 42Km) in Jan 1998. I've been hooked since then and have run many more plus a 50Km (31 miles) and planning on running my first 50 miler (80Km) in December.
I've maintained at #140 for the last 2 years doing LC off/on. I've re-committed myself and hope to get these last #15 off by December with the help of this great bunch of women (and guys)!!
