Hello, Your not alone with the weight thing, no I'm not way under 200, believe me. It's a very hard thing to deal with on a daily basis, it sucks. I have never weighed this much in my 37 years here. My in laws make comments all the time, it depressed me, I try to explain PCO to them, and they are like ya ok whatever. It's very hard for people to believe that some syndrome or disease like thing could make you can weight like we all have,I'm so frustrated about it. I've stopped trying to explain, it's not worth it.......I just say if you don't belive me go onto the web site and read it for yourself. I've tryng to exercise everyday by swimming, it's about the only thing I can do right now, I have 3 stress fractures in my right foot, which I'm convinced its fromthe extra weight. I just wanted to let you know anyway that your not alone.......... So hang in there, and don't let ignorant people get you down. Joanne
