Good morning beautiful MFP peeps!

I am re-joining MFP to lose the rest of this weight for the very LAST TIME!!! I have successfully lost 44 lbs and kept it off for 2.5 years. Having said that, I have needed to lose the last 40-45 lbs for the past 2.5 years and am going to lose it now, for good. ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!

I'm Shannon, 34 years old, single mother of an amazing 16 year old son, full time RN, Nurse Practitioner student, girlfriend, friend, and bookaholic. I have so many reasons I want to lose this weight. I need this success in my life. I need this health, freedom and need to love myself better. This journey FORCES me to put my health, my needs, my well being at a top level. At the top of my list. As a nurse and single mother WHO DOES THAT??? How can we???? Well, I am determined to figure that out.

I am a great listener and encourager so I am happy to be that for you as well. I love the community that brings us all together. If you'd like, please friend me and I'm happy to friend you back. The more the merrier!

    I am almost in nursing school and I sit behind a desk all day at work and then sit studying all the time. I need motivation too! Good luck.

    Not a single mother or a nurse, but I have trouble putting myself first and finding a balance between work (I’m an elementary teacher) and home life. I sent you a FR.
