Friends!

Options
Hello! I'm looking for some friends so I have others to keep me motivated and vice-versa to get fit and healthy!

My name is Shannon, I'm 22, I live in Myrtle Beach, and I have two girls ages 3 years and 10 months.
I'm 5'6, 152 pounds and my UGW is 120. Maybe 130 if I feel comfortable enough with myself. I gained 20 pounds after being on the NuvaRing and it made me feel like I was starving no matter what, which caused me to binge eat. After awhile all I ended up binging on were sweets, and other garbage foods so I decided it was time to get off the NuvaRing and start getting back into a healthy body and lifestyle. I want to be a good influence on my girls, and my husband who is a bottomless pit sometimes too.

Right now I'm eating healthy, and doing mostly strength training to build muscle. Once my body is toned enough I will focus more on cardio and high intensity interval training to shed the weight off so I can be on on the beach this summer, ;)

    Hi Shannon,

    Welcome - feel free to add me for support.

    I have a 2 year and a 4 month old and am just working on losing 30 pounds. Totally understand the binge eating after starving yourself so I've turned to eating small snacks throughout the day. Remembering to also grab a quick breakfast has really helped me control my weight, too!

    Good luck to you! We can do this.
