in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm Shannon Elizabeth, and I've been using mfp on and off for awhile, but I was completely oblivious to the community aspect!

I turned 20 in April and after a gnarly breakup and etc hit an all time high of 270. I started working out again and I'm down to 264 now. I got a boost in motivation when my recent trip to Knotts Berry Farm taught me that I'm too fat to ride roller coasters.

I don't want to be losing opportunities because of my weight. So I'd love to find some people to talk with and maybe check in daily/weekly/ whatever to keep me on track :)

Age: 20
Height: 5'4
CW: 264
GW: 125

    I'm right there with you. I've got close to 100 to lose as well. I swore I'd never be on this path again, but alas... I'm back, only 26 pounds below where I started :(

    That's such a frustrating feeling. I swear I've "started my life change" so many times, just to quit and gain it back plus more ! I sent you a request, we can totally make this the time we lose it all (:

    I just started with MFP two weeks ago. Dropped a bunch of water weight in my first week (6 lbs) and am working my way toward 145 lbs - that's 91 lbs to go for me! I've managed to get a good handle on my eating habits, I think, but I'm still working on my activity levels. Knowing other people going through the same thing is very motivating, and I LOVE reading success stories on MFP from people who've lost 100+ lbs! We CAN do this!

    You can do this! Congrats on doing this while you are still young. I didn't and now I am 40 and it is harder to take off. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the medicine makes me gain weight so I gained all the weight I lost. so I am in the same boat!

    @rockstar8bubbles Added!

    @Ruatine Thanks for sharing! And I'm so glad this community exists! I had no idea this was part of the app, and those success stories are incredible!

    @dpoops2 Thank you! I feel like I've been trying to do this my whole life, and I'm so tired of that thought "if I was thinner.." And I'm sorry about your fibro diagnoses, I know a girl with it and it seems like a lot to handle, so major kudos to you for being on here !

    @nicolajane6393 added! That sounds like an awesome idea :smiley:
