    Congratulations! you are in inspiration to me and so many others....Keep up the good work, and like you I don't look at having a little dessert as cheating it's a part of life, when you don't make this journey fun and you go in with doubts and misgivings I beleive that you will fail. We have to look at this as a whole new journey in life and like everything else that we get through if we don't give up we will get through this as well. Look forward to hearing more of your journey. I've lost 43 lbs in 16 weeks, have a little more to go, but like you and won't give up.

    I see you and think wow look how thin she is. I want that so much. I am going to add you as a friend. I love running but right now I am overweight and running. I hope that the "something" will click with me soon. ....... I am going to visit your blogs and read how you did it. Shannon I am so proud of you. You looked happy both ways and I know that you feel much better now. CONGRATS.

And I want to be healthy and live a long long time. You are an inspiration to me and maybe you can be on my cheerleading squad. let me know. megan pierson

    Incredible story and results! You look great! Thanks for sharing your story. I really like hearing that you still get to enjoy some of the foods and drinks that you love (pizza) and don't call it "cheating" like many others do. I wish you success in your maintenance "shift".....I know you will continue to do amazing things.

    I'm pretty sure you have now inspired at least half of the MFP family. Congratulations! I am beyond excited for you and perhaps maybe even a little envious. I love how you have new goals instead of just the scale weight. I want to be there someday...just have to drop the tire hanging around my waist! haha Congrats again and good luck with all of your new goals!

    You are such an inspiration! I have 80 to 90 pounds to lose to hit my goal weight. I just re-committed myself this week. I have been on & 0off this site & usually for no more than a week & then I figure why? But I am tired of not finding clothes I like in my size. I am tired of being out of breath climbing stairs. I am 27 & have 2 boys that I want to teach healthy things. I can't afford a gym but I have started walking & have an amazing hill to walk up. & when I have the time amazing trails to hike. I hope 15 months from now I can post a story like this. Course I may not lose quite that consistantly but even if I hit my half way goal by then that still puts me at where I was when i got pregnant over 8 years ago. I want to start running but I know I need to ease in to it.

    Thank you for posting your story, as someone who is just starting out and has about the same amount to lose as you did, you are a TRUE inspiration!! You look great but most of all I love your attitude and the fact that you always thought of yourself as a beautiful person no matter what your size, so many people think they are only beautiful if there is a thin person looking back at them in the mirror (this is something I am still working on)....I will defentley be checking out your blogs

    Fabulous post, committment, success, and journey; your words are inspiring in their honesty, forthrightness, understanding, and yes, in their practicality. You are the person many on this journey should strive to be - proud of where and who you ARE but never undermining or undervaluing who and where you WERE.

    Congratulations on your remarkable journey - there is no doubt you will continue to achieve your shifting priorities; life is a constant evolution and you seem to know and understand that on a deep level. I'm looking forward to reading the blog posts you referenced:)

    Best Regards
