New year... new choices... new US!

Hi :) I am Shannon and Bobby is my husband. We will both be posting on this blog. We are from Oklahoma, 26 years old and have been married for 8 years in April 2010. We both work for the same company working with adults with developemental dissabilities. People are all the time asking if we get tired of working together and being around each other all the time and my answer is always no. We have a unique relationship. Even after being together for 9 years we still can't get enough of each other. :) We don't have children yet, but plan too. We do have 2 chihuahua's which we consider to be our kids. We will tell you more about us as this blog progresses.

Now what exactly is this blog about? Well, I will tell you...

We have both been overweight for as long as we can remember. Since we have been together we have tried countless times to lose weight and take control of our lives. Each time we have failed. We will each write a seperate blog going deeper into detail about our individual successes, struggles, and goals. We have decided that 2010 WILL be our year. We will make the changes that we need to and we WILL succeed. This is no longer a light decision this is a life or death decision with dire consequences if we choose the wrong path. It will not be easy, there will be struggles but amidst all those struggles there will successes and we will celebrate those, with something other than food! I decided to start blogging because I have never journalled anything regarding my weightloss and I have always failed. I am trying something new, I am putting myself out there for anyone to read. This is a huge step for me. I was going to have my own blog but Bobby wanted to do it as well so we just decided we will do a couples blog. We are in this thing together so why not be 100% in this together. Even if our writing helps motivate or inspire just one person then it will all be worth it.

Just to let you know, this will be a weightloss blog but there may be times that what we post has nothing to do with our weightloss, just something we would like to share.

Well, there is a brief summary of what the point is of this page.

Thanks for reading and HAPPY NEW YEAR

Shannon & Bobby
