Hi Elizabeth, After searching through this site, I found your posting which sounds very similiar to me. I'llbe 40 in JUly, I have 2 children, I've been struggling with PCOS and its side effects since 12 years old. Right now and for the future my main concerns are with the hair growth and weight loss. Since you wrote that if anyone is interested in your program, just write back..here I am!! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Eleanor O'Connor e-mail : EL9192@aol.com
