Well after many months of saying to myself I will start my fitness and weight loss regime I decided 8 weeks ago it was time to be serious and give my own butt a kick 
I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries when I was 19 and was told I would struggle to lose weight and possibly couldnt have kids. Well they were right about the weight loss!!! Its very difficult and sometimes quite disheartening, which anyone who is unfortunate to have the same condition can probably sympathise with. The up side though was what I thought was terrible heartburn for 14 weeks was infact my pregnancy and I had my little boy Ellis in March 2009. He is a little sweetheart however he is so quick on his feet I was beginning to struggle to keep up therefore I knew I had to change my lifestyle.
So I bought myself the biggest loser for my wii, started zumba and joined the gym only for cardio and upper body weights and I have lost 21lbs so far! I have a loooong way to go and I know its going to be a long slog but I am so determined to make a change.
I hope you join me in my journey. I would be glad of any comments and advice from anyone who has maybe found themselves in a similar situation to me
.
Also, I work in a Police Control Room for 54 hours 6 days running, 2 days, 2 backshifts and 2 nightshifts. Does anyone else find it difficult to eat healthily and exercise around a crazy shift pattern?? Some weeks feel like I havent made much effort because I have missed my classes whilst at work

bet he wished he had thought that through!!
then the lovely Bob tells me I really could be doing better and I start getting grumpy and take tantrums like a 2 year old 
do you think that will cut it with virtual Bob and Jillian??? Prob not huh!
Hopefully its quiet and I can whizz round.
really mad at myself that I couldnt fit as many workouts in as I had all the previous weeks but I guess going back to full time hours is really going to make a difference and I have to alter my plan to fit round that now 
back to the drawing board!
I still want to go and it will be interesting to see how this effects my weight loss 
I also have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, and I completely understand how difficult it is. I was never able to have any children, which I think I have finally come to terms with. I now just want to get the weight issues under control, so I can feel healthy & energetic again!
