Hi all! I know there is a big forum for introductions, but I was thinking I'd post here since I plan to hang out here. I'm Shannon, 26 yrs old, and I just had my 2nd daughter in September. I had lost all of my pregnancy weight, but managed to gain it back again. I'm out of shape and uncomfortable in my own skin. I also just started a business, so between the kids, the business, housework, and hubby, I feel like I have too much to juggle as it is. But, I need to lose this weight. My ultimate goal would be 50lbs down, but right now I'm just aiming for 20. Just ordered a couple new Jillian Michaels DVDs and I'm hoping they work as well for me as the 30 Day Shred did after my 1st was born (I dropped about 10lbs/month). I'm hoping to visit here often to keep myself on track!

Welcome Shannon, I am 26 also! (no kids yet, just a hubby) Looks like we are the same height!

The first time I lost weight I started at 175 and got to 125- so you can do it too!

This is a great forum to be a part of. If you weight daily, the sticky May forum is great to help you keep in check. Also, the chicks for a challlenge thread has all kinds of things to keep you going.

Lastly, check out on this forum the Bikini Ready Challenge.

Welcome, message me if you need help!

Welcome to the forum!

That's awesome! At this point, even 130 feels totally unattainable. I'll definitely check those out, thanks!
