Hey everyone! My name is Shannon and I've always struggled with weight- I'm a yo-yo-er. I'd love to have some people to cheer on, and some nice voices to cheer me on, and I try to break the 130 mark for the first time in forever! I'm going to add those who posted above me, but I'll also accept new friend requests as well!…

Hey guys! My name is Shannon and I've spent a lot of my life going on "diets" that always end, work out binges that I quit, and generally a lot of half-assed trying. I've decided that since I'm gonna be a freshman next year, it's time to get into some good habits to carry with me to my dorm! I'm extremely supportive of…

I'm starting over too! I did this for a summer and then gained it back all my senior year of high school. Now it's summer and I have college, I'm really trying to stick with it. I have no friends left- they probably all unfriended me when MFP kept saying "Shannon hasn't logged in for a month" or something like that haha

Then I went fishing with my grandparents who chopped off the fish head in front of me- I went no meat except for beef. I stayed there for a while until I cut everything.…

It has a funny texture, personally I don't like it, but it may have been the dish it's in. It's also pretty flavorless like tofu. It will take the flavor of what you…

Oh and quick note: being a vegetarian does not mean eating salad at every meal. I for one don't understand the concept of leaves to fill you up. There are a million recipies out there that are tasty, satisfying, and meat-free.

You can do it! When I was 8 my parents divorced AND my best friend moved away. I ate so much it was sad, and now I am trying once and for all to get the weight off. I weighed my lowest 20lbs ago my freshman year of high school 3 years ago, and now I want to look the best for my senior year. My advice: try having meatless…
