got my first jab 😭

Hi everyone, I'm 23, female, and weigh around 215 pounds. I used to be in shape, but then I got diagnosed with PCOS. I've gained like, 80 pounds in the last 3 years, even though I'm working out and stuff. It's so frustrating! I've been trying to lose the weight, but my periods are a mess. I...

I haven't lost anything since April, but I'm still down 50 pounds overall. Started at 235...

Awesome transformation! I'm almost 80 pounds lighter myself. So excited to hit 'Onederland' soon!!
