My Journey to lose weight and become healthy

I've decided to use my first post to introduce myself. I'm a 31 years old, a married woman, a working professional with barely enough time to breathe between managing my career and home. However, last year i made a choice. A choice triggered by my ill health and sudden weight gain. It was a choice to live healthy.

I suffer from PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) which makes it SUPER HARD to lose weight. I'd tried gymming for a year, eating less, walking more and nothing worked.

However, after my diagnosis, i was on treatment for PCOS. During the treatment, i tried my first ever diet and lost around 8 KG in two weeks! I managed to keep most of it off inspite of a lot of work-related traveling.

I've read a lot about PCOS and have found out that its effects can be reversed with a low/healthy carb and high protein diet. So i have chosen to go off my PCOS treatment and lose weight in the most healthy way I know how. Its been three weeks so far and progress has been steady but slow. Along the way however, I have discovered quite a few healthy recipes which I would love to share with you!
