Hi there! The name is Shannon and I weigh 276. It's obviously not healthy and I'm not quite happy with myself, but I want to lose some weight! I don't want to be like, 100 pounds. I kind of see that as unrealistic. But I do want to lose AT LEAST 50.

I guess I'm posting here to make some friends to help me stay on top of things.
Thanks!

Hope to talk

    Welcome, Shannon! I started at 280 pounds 80 days ago... If you stick with it, you can do it! Congratulations on making the decision to do something about it. It's a long journey, but well worth it!

    You can add me if you'd like...
