Thirteen pounds have humbled me...

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm Shannon, turning 30 next month, wonderful husband and daughter, crappy job but I'm working on fixing that.

    Got all the way down to 125 earlier this year from 197 in 2001. (The brunt of that weight loss occurred from June of '03 to June of '04.) But once I hit 125, I got stressed because of some dumb decisions I'd made, which led me to make yet another dumb decision and stuff my face with everything in sight. So I'm back up to 138, and I can't get into my "skinny" jeans at the moment, which angers me. I want to kill these last 13 pounds, and I find I do much better with some online accountability. The last community I was a part of doesn't exist anymore. This one seems really cool, though, and full of nice folks.

  • Hi Shannon! I just posted a request for a buddy earlier, and just saw yours. We are very similar in that we don't have all THAT much to lose, but we want to lose it. I've been at goal twice in 5 years, each time right before getting pregnant! I need to lose about 15 pounds.
