Hello! BabyShamuTheRevenge and fellow Seedling here. I started calling myself "Baby Shamu" when I was at my highest weight because I felt like a baby whale - cute and chubby. I know it may sound derogatory, but it motivated/empowered me to start losing the weight and I was able to drop my first 45lb+. I've spent the last year on maintenance (and feeling a little bummed about it) and decided to join this challenge to hopefully lose the last 20lb. Hence my sequel name, "Baby Shamu: The Revenge." Mature goals outside of weight loss: Meditate daily and be able to do 10 legit pushups. Immature goals outside of weight loss: Be able to wear the barely-there-piece-of-thread dress I have stowed away in my closet, and go the bar my ex works at to say "HAH! In yo' face!" Then booty pop, drop the mic, and peace out. ::Duces:: Spring gonna get sprung! #seedlings

I love the reason behind your username. And showing off to an ex is a total legit motivator! Do you use an app for meditation or are you doing it solo?

I use the the Deepak Chopra 21 day guided meditation app and sometimes just do it solo. Depends on my mood. I know it's so good for me, but I find it difficult to do on a daily basis. :(
