Hello, my name is Shannon and I'm new to the website. I've been obese since I had my second child 7 years ago and I'm tired of being the fat friend. Back in Sept I joined a Biggest Loser competition and I've lost 20 pounds since. I'm determined to lose the next 40 to reach my goal weight. I work out 6 days a week, alternating running, walking and home work out dvd's. I eat right and I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I hope to set a good example on the importance of eating right and staying active. Would love to make some friends on here and stay focused and support one another.

    Hey, ladies! I am new here, as well. I could use the support...we ALL could! I would love to have you all as friends!

    I just started last week, and I am doing pretty well. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Hope you are all doing well, too!
