Hi,

My name is Shannon (a/k/a BladesHockey), I am 39, 5'10" , 223 pounds and I am obese. When I joined MFP 8 weeks ago, I was at my all-time high of 233.

Thank you to all those that post their weight, no matter what it is. My good pal DMUND and I were sharing how we could never do that. But you know what: I CAN. I AM OBESE. I haven't always been, but now I am and I am taking control of it. I am busy just like everyone else, but I have no "health" issues, no "life" issues, and no reason to NOT take care of me!

My name is Shannon, I am 39, 223, and I am obese, for now.

    hi...i am 5'2 and 200lbs! so yes i am obese. i have a 2 months old and i haven't lost all the baby weight yet. plus the weight i put on before i conceived when i was doing hormone therapy.

    i HAVE had health issues in the past, before i was pregnant, i was on blood pressure medication, thyroid medication, pre-diabetes diet, and had a fatty liver!!! it was a wake up call. i lost about 40lbs and got off the meds! now the weight has crept back up....BUT i know i can lose it!

    btw i hate that term. obese. blah!! let's get healthy!
