I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged.  I started using Facebook and Instagram more for my journey and the blog took the back burner.  As of last week I am down 37 pounds from my highest weight.  I thought I would be out of the 300's by now, but I'm not.  I still have 27 pounds to go.  A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with PCOS which is polysistic ovary syndrome.  Basically I have cysts on my ovaries and my hormones are out of whack.  The effects of this on me: irregular period, infertility, and slowed weight loss.  The PCOS made me insulin resistant.  I am now on medication to stop my period and for the insulin issue.  I also had a biopsy done the day before Thanksgiving.  They must do this to rule out anything cancer related.  The doctor does not seem to be alarmed, so I am not either.  I really hate how expensive my health has become.  Between trainers, work out classes, co-pays and medication costs.  With Rob being unemployed currently I feel like this is a strain on our family.  I know my health is important, but this is just yet another reason I hope people look at my story and correct their health EARLY!  Do NOT wait until you are over 300 lbs to do something!  It's not just about weight.... It's about health.  GET HEALTHY NOW!!!!!
