Hello everyone! My name is Shanon. I'm about to turn 32 next month and am really sick of my body and my health. I'm 5'6 and 212 lbs. I used to be a skinny person until I had my second child. I started losing the weight and then my 1st marriage went down hill. I started eating because I was unhappy. Now in my second marriage all we do is eat fast food because we are always on the go. My husband and I are now trying to get ourselves back in shape.

The biggest reason I want to lose this weight is for my children. I want to be able to play with them, instead of sitting on the park bench taking pictures.

So good luck to everyone on myfitnesspal. And wish me luck.
Shanon :heart:

    You can do this Shanon! This site has helped me a lot since I've been on here. It sounds like we have a few things in common: I am the same height and weigh 210! My birthday is also next month (Oct. 3) and I'm gonna turn 21.:bigsmile: So at least you know there is someone else out there in a similar situation to yours. Also, my boyfriend and I eat out a lot. The problem is, he doesn't understand the concept of having to lose weight, he is 5'11 and weighs about 165. Plus he has a demanding job so he burns off EVERYTHING he eats. It drives me crazy! lol. Anyway, sorry to go on about my situation, but it is similar to yours in a lot of ways.... But, we can do this! Just take advantage of all this site has to offer and I'm sure you'll reach your goals.

    The thing that drives me the nuts most about losing weight with my husband is that he loses it so much faster (AND HE CHEATS). Every so often i catch him sneaking a Mt. Dew or Taco Bell. Last time we lost weight together i lost 5lbs to his 17. It can be frustrating.

    Thanks for you vote of confidence. I can really use it. Oh yeah. My b-day is Oct 20.:flowerforyou:
