Deleting Bigger Clothes

Posted by: Shannon Buck on: June 20, 2011

When I decided to lose weight, I made a promise to myself that I would never again purchase bigger size clothes. I had the size 3X clothing that fit me at the time, and I was not going to let myself get any bigger than that. When I finally lost enough weight to go down [...]

Shrinking into Clothes

Posted by: Shannon Buck on: June 17, 2011

Warm weather is upon us. I love to be outside, enjoying my walks during this time of the year… before it gets too hot to breathe. Long pants are not something I want to wear at this time, but I don’t have the necessary funds available to purchase anything else. I went through some of [...]

Notice the Little Things

Posted by: Shannon Buck on: June 6, 2011

The scale is evil. It’s true. Just ask my mom. She wanted a new scale, one that she could read with her bifocals on. My step father purchased her one, and she stepped on it. Now she is unhappy with herself, and wants to lose weight. I have had experiences…I purchased the scale. I can [...]

My Photo Album

Posted by: Shannon Buck on: June 2, 2011

I have created a photo album as a page in this blog. Feel free to check it out. If you are creating your own fitness blog, an album would make a great addition. It can help your reader to see the progress that you are making. Shannon


Me and This Journal

Good day all! My name is Shannon Buck. I hail from a small town in Maine, where I am blessed to have the opportunity to work from home as a freelance writer. I am mom to Skye and Zowie, my wonderfully supportive daughters.



I am not happy with my appearance. I want to get back into at least a large.


When I first started losing weight, I weighed in at 279 pounds and wore a size 3x. I am now at a size 2x and, while I have accomplished much, I have gone backwards somewhat. Not too badly, as I am still wearing a size 2x, along with with some 1x.


This blog is an effort to help keep me on track with my fitness goals. My main goal is not necessarily weight-loss, but overall fitness, nutrition and health. I want to not only look better, but feel better as well.


Join me while I continue with my journey.


Warmest Wishes and Brightest Blessings,


Shannon L. Buck
