My name is Amber. I'm soon to be 21 years old and really trying to get back into shape. I've been slightly overweight for years, probably as far back as elementary school but after I graduated high school I've really packed on the pounds.((( I HATE IT))). I went to my doctor in about March of 07 in regards to some other female issues. She ran some tests and diagnosed me with Polycistic Ovarion Syndrome... It just so happens to directly correlate to my recent weight gaine. I've been dealing with a lot of other things since, but am finally ready to commit to a diet and excersize plan. I'm currently on medication for my illness and my doctor has suggested that if i can dramatically loose weight, the medication won't have to be a life long commitment. I have a positive out-look so far.
