PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
It is estimated that more than 1 in 10 women are afflicted with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), yet most people are uninformed about it and have no idea that such a condition exists. Women with PCOS experience a combination of symptoms that can lead to serious conditions such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and infertility. In fact, PCOS is a leading cause of infertility in women. There is no cure for PCOS; therefore it is a life-long condition, and people need to be informed about managing PCOS and all the symptoms associated with it.
The best way to manage PCOS is to mentally prepare ourselves for life-long behavioral changes and adjust our lives so that we are living the healthiest way possible. That is what the PCOS Challenge will do for us. The PCOS Challenge is a program that brings women with PCOS together to support each other in the difficult journey to turning our lives around and trying to reverse PCOS.

I QUIT!...Soda:)

Today is Day 7 of my no soda lifestyle. I normally drink Diet Pepsi with almost every meal. I don't miss it! My body feels so much better functioning without it. I lost weight too! I don't know how much yet. My weigh in is tomorrow.I made a bet with my diabetic mother that we both had to quit soda until March 18th (my birthday) or we would have to give the other person a 2 hour foot massage. Since I don't want to give that massage I've been taking my water bottle with me every where I go! I…
