In late January of this year, I came across a video on-line that literally had me awe-struck. An Instagram follower with the appropriate name of sunshine's journey. Boldly began documenting her weight loss journey for the whole world to see.The decision to lose the weight came after going through the loss of both her parents as well as a bad breakup at the time. Sunshine has lost over 150 pounds all on her own. All by following a simple, but strict diet, and mixing up her exercise routine. She is now training for her first half-marathon. And I am pretty sure it won't be her last...The Abler wishes her the absolute best. And we can not wait to see what other goals she crushes along the way. Thank you, sunshine, for showing the world that you can do whatever you set your heart and mind to. That it's not over for anyone unless they say it is. That even in your darkest days, you can find the light again even if you have to make that light all on your own.  I hope you all...

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is a very common, and miss diagnosed condition, among women between the ages of 20-40.  And can cause infertility with polycystic ovaries. The statics vary as to how many women have PCOS because the criteria for the condition is always changing. But here is what I found under The National Institutes Of Health. One in every 10-15 women gets diagnosed with PCOS. I also heard that about 50% of women do not know they have PCOS. Via, pcosdiva.com I also found on the site, rightdiagnoisis.com that about 50% of women are insulin resistant. The typical age bracket for being insulin resistant is about 20-40 years of age.  And about only 30% have symptoms of PCOS. PCOS is a syndrome that not only affects fertility but can affect metabolism, insulin levels, high blood pressure and much more. t is a syndrome that not only affects fertility but can affect metabolism, insulin levels, high blood pressure and much more.

I can honestly say, that this is the first piece I have done thus far for the blog that has gotten such an unbelievable response. PCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Is such a complex, and ever changing hormone, imbalanced disorder. That I am blown away by how many women and young girls have it and struggle with it on different levels. I was also shocked by how little information there is about the disorder. I really had to "dig" Passed the basics of the disorder just to find what I did. I want to give a quick shout to a friend of mine Ali. Who offered to help...
