Hello everyone! My name is Shawna I am currently 21 years old.. I have struggled with my weight my entire life.. growing up it didn't bother me but as I got older and older it did. I was diagnosed with depression at the young age of 12. I was borderline diabetic for years starting at the age of 11. I was diagnosed with diabetes at a very young age and was put on insulin at 16.. I had high blood pressure and many other health issues starting. I have tried over and over to lose weight but I never could keep going. I decided to take charge of my life and health and realized I am worth it.. I have lost a total of 120lbs .. I'm going to keep going till I hit goal!! I have about 20 more pounds to lose..I still have a ways to go and toning to do but I am very happy considering where I came from!! I am no longer on insulin and I no longer have high blood pressure..I wanted to share my story thanks for reading!!:flowerforyou:
( I hope these photos worknever done this! )

    I can't say well done enough, I think you are fab and what a life changing journey for you! Once you've hit goal you'll need to think of something else to channel that energy into, world peace or something smallish to start with, have a break!
