New Girl

Hi there! My name's Shanikwa and I've joined MFP in hopes that this app will aide in my fitness goals. I've been overweight my entire life and have a terrible family health history. From diabetes to heart disease to stroke, you name it and because of my poor health and worry about my future a couple of years ago I lost more than 40 lbs. Then earlier this year I became really sick and bedridden and gained it all back. It is completely my fault that I allowed one setback to destroy all my hard work. But now I'm determined to get back to living healthy and taking care of myself the way I deserve. I hope to meet new friends here, hope to encourage and be encouraged because a healthy lifestyle journey is a difficult one to do on your own.
