Hi! I'm Shannon. I just joined dietbet for the first time. I'm looking forward to some extra motivation in losing a decent amount of weight. I am not happy with my body. My body is certainly not healthy and I am not fond of the appearance of it either. Time to change that. I have PCOS which makes losing weight more difficult than it normally would be, but I am determined to do this. I have a busy life. I have 2 sons of my own and my fiance and his son also live with us. We have 6 cats, 2 dogs, a rabbit and fish. All of that means, my home life is crazy. My work life is the same. I teach Middle School/High School Autism support in a school for kids with severe educational and/or behavioral issues. I am slowly planning a wedding and I'd like a new body for my new life. I am starting at 165 at 5'3" and my final goal is between 125-130. My 10% for this dietbet is 148.
