Shannon, you rock and in a WHOLE lot of ways. I'm really glad to know you, you have made an everlasting impact on my life for years now, for many different reasons

Oh my gosh Shannon ... you brought tears to my eyes. Way to be you girl!!
Edit to add: Have you ever considered writing? You're fantastic.0 -
Wow, you look like a new person! Congrats on your success!
I liked how you set manageable goals and then set new ones once you nailed the first ones. I know that I have perfectionist tendencies that keep me rooted in one place. If I can't reach the ultimate goal then I have a hard time motivating myself to start. I think it's time I really tried your method!0 -
this is completely amazing and inspirational!
I agree! :flowerforyou:0 -

This is the first time I have ever replied to anything on these message boards. I have enjoyed other posts...but this one REALLY GOT ME. Thank you for writing this (you are a very talented writer, btw!)... this was amazing, and really impacted me. I will read it again and again. I am only 45 days in to this, and began a bit like you...not really expecting much....but have lost 16.2 so far, and that feels amazing to me!
Thank you again - you are a gift. and your son (and goat) are very cute!0 -
I had to read from start to finish because you kept my interest peaked and I don't know you, but love you!
I have just broken from a plateau and am just awe-inspired by your story. You are an amazing human being and I thank you for your post that has made a serious impact in my future (later I will post my success story when I get there and am ready!)
You are a fabulous role model for your child/family/friends. Wow, I am going to have this one in my head for some time and will review this and think of this on days when I feel like not doing this anymore. Slow and steady for me but, onward!
Peace and goodnight0 -

"the process is as great as the journey"
"fitness is a hobby"
It really IS a hobby.
You are and were stunning then and now
Thank you for sharing your story, for your inspiration.
I am only starting my journey, but I am determined!
day by day, I will overcome.0 -
Thank you. Reading your account of your journey is eerie because it sounds almost exactly like mine. When I started logging into MFP in January, I weighed 308 pounds. I had been heavy since I was seven years old. Yes, I had tried dieting before, but it never stuck. MFP is different because I now carefully consider every bit of food that I put into my mouth. Is it worth the extra time on the treadmill?
I am still waiting on my magic. 150 days later, I weigh 249.2 pounds. I am down to two shirt sizes, and my pants literally hang off of my hips. My next goal? to reach that ever-elusive "Onederland." I don't remember when I was less than 200 pounds, but I will. It will just take time.
I have hit a bit of a lull in the weight loss lately, but reading your story made me realize that magic can indeed happen. I needed that reminder so I thank you again for posting.0 -
Great inspiration for all. congratulations!!0
-
