Member of the Week: Shasta M.

This week we celebrate Shasta as our Member of the Week. Shasta was extremely active in our Fitness Challenge, and frequently inspired others to keep working hard. Here are her thoughts on being this week’s featured member.

    “I am so happy to hear that you have chosen me amongst all those great women as your weekly winner. Thank you so much! I have been addicted to LIVESTRONG.COM since signing up a few weeks back. Before MyPlate I was keeping a daily nutrition log and having to add all the information myself. So you can imagine how stoked I was when I came across LIVESTRONG.COM and all the tools you have in place to help people like me.

    I am 31 years old, a mother of a wonderful son, and a stay at home mom currently. I am a RN who decided to take a break from nursing a few months ago so that I could shift my focus to health and nutrition. I am trying to reach goals of living a healthier life, toning up, and being more self confident. So when I saw this group challenge to be more active, I felt like it was the best way to keep me motivated and also to help others stay motivated to changing our lives for the better. And it has done so much more than just motivate. It has inspired, lifted spirits, created friendships, given new ideas, opened eyes, and offered shoulders to cry on. When I see one of the members struggling with something in their life, I try to reply back to them to let them know that they are not alone. I want them to keep the faith in themselves and keep doing what they need to do to get past these speed bumps of life. It is just such an amazing feeling to know that you may have helped someone that you've never met and who may live a million miles away from you. I'm feeling completely amazed by what I've been able to accomplish in such a short amount of time, and I want to help others to feel this way too. So here's to the women of the group challenge for being strong, overcoming fears, and motivating each other to live healthy!"
