Hi, my name is Melissa. I am a 26 year old mother of 2 girls, Acacia Snow (7) & Ashlynd Skye (4), from Illinois. I've been over-weight pretty much for as long as I can remember. I'm 5'10" now in a size 20, this is definetly the biggest I've ever been & it's down right embarassing.
It's really a bad time to be embarassed considering I'm working on a home business I began in January as a location photographer specializing in pregnancy & newborns.
It's exciting so far & business is starting to pick up. Now I just need to get comfortable in my own skin, again.
I've noticed on past threads how some people have started challenges for each other. Well that would be what I'm looking for now, a challenge. If anyone knows about any challenges or if someone could point me in ANY direction I would appreciate it. I'm terrible at doing things on my own & could use all the help I could get.
I began my "adventure in weight loss" on April 7 and have lost about 7lbs so far. My main goal is to lose 80lbs with my mini goals being about 10 lbs a month, I know I can do it, I just need a push every now & then.
Thanks!
