In looking over my past entries, I realized that I forgot to mention something very important.  I have PCOS.  For those of you who don't know, that stands for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.  It's estimated that 10% of women have it, and they usually don't know they have it until they try to get pregnant and can't.  Because of contributing factors, PCOS makes it harder to lose weight...insulin resistance, diabetes, and hormonal inbalances, just to name a few.  Many women take for granted the fact that they get monthly periods (AF).  But because of this syndrome, AF's can be few and far between...in other words very irregular.  What people don't realize is that by NOT having a monthly AF, hormones go out of control, making any effort at weight-loss challenging to say the least.
