Default It's go time!

Hello, all, my name is Shannon, I'm 31 years old and I've been overweight all of my life, but it has to end, mostly for health reasons. I was diagnosed with diabetes about seven years ago and haven't always taking care of myself, but this spring something really scared me. I also have epilepsy and during a seizure I received some bad cuts on my feet, small in size, but they were deep, and they became infected, I kept them clean and everything, but the doctor said that the diabetes was the main reason that they became infected and then I had a pretty bad reaction to the antibiotics, anyway, it was a mess and it scared me. There is also the fact that three years ago I met Shaun, he's my first boyfriend since approximately kindergarten and he's the most wonderful, accepting man that I can imagine, and since I'm thinking about having a baby with him, I need to get in better health.
Anyway, that's pretty much the story, I'm at 205.2 currently and my goal is 155-160, I'm going to Weight Watchers and I am going to DO IT!

I am so sorry to hear what happened to you, but you are on your way to a happier and healthier lifestyle. Me and you are the same height and weight, so I understand where you are coming from weight wise.
If you need any support or motivation, you will always find it here!
