Q: 18/f

I'm suffering from PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) and I'm very determined to lost weight.
This disease has caused me to be overweight my entire life and I'm getting sick of not being happy with myself.
What I want to know is what are good workouts to start with at home? I've been to a gym before and didn't enjoy it. I'm not much of a people person and I would feel more comfortable doing workouts at home.
If possible, can someone help me set up a schedule of some sort? I greatly appreciate the help!
I have PCOS too. Did they happen to give you any hormones or birth control? If not, sit down with a doctor and ask. You can find some low priced exercise tapes at stores like Walmart, if you can find Leslie Sansone tapes (it'll probably say something about walking miles) grab one, those are great. Easy and won't kill your body if you do it everyday. If you have comcast or xfinity they have free exercise tapes for you to follow On Demand under the listing exercise tv, those are great. But if you can't grab a tape or don't have comcast, think of what areas you want to work on and look up some exercises you can do at home for them. Just write them down and it helps if you write them on little pieces of paper, throw them in a jar and than do like a pull them out thing like say it's Monday and you have some free time to exercise so you pull one of the workouts out of that jar which happens to be 20 sit ups. and you can do as many as you want per day.

This helped a lot! I will definitely do the jar thing! Thank you so much. :)
Also, I'm going to make an appointment to be put on birth control soon.

Hi, thanks for coming to my column.

The name is Diamond but Dia is fine.

20, female, jersey girl at heart. mixed race taurus natured woman.

So...the reason I made this was during the start of my senior year of high school I had reached a point in my life where I didn't want to live anymore. I was tired of fighting and didn't see the reasons to fight. It was a random stranger that made me realize I would be stupid to take my life and to stop fighting.

So if you think I'm going to tell you life gets easier, I'm not. Let's face it, it doesn't get easier. Through pain you get stronger and learn to open your eyes to those things that give you strength to live.

Mine happen to be music, writing, dr. pepper, anime, the color black, the way rain sounds, and an amazing boyfriend. What gives you strength to live?
