My name is Amber. I am 28 years old. I am a security guard and volunteer EMT. At this point I have lost 20 pounds by following Sparkpeople.com and I am very grateful. It has given me the power to want to change and do more with my life then just to go to work then come home and watch TV to get away from my life issues. I have been battling with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome since I was 13. I have had three cyst removed and losing weight with it and being on Steriods made it even harder to lose. After years of trying to do diets and going to the gym, I had finally accepted that I was never going to lose weight just maintain my 230lbs. Then I joined Sparkpeople. It has taken me a few years to really get motivated and to understand the page (Not the sites fault, it was due to my depression and not believing in myself) but once I really looked into the page and decided to do the Couch to 5K training I have found my mojo and I owe a lot of it to this site! I can't wait to lose more weight and to see the transformation of people on here!
