Sisterhood Spotlight:: Melissa M!

[ 12 ] 10/17/2010 |

Each week, we highlight a deserving Sister (or brother) for our Sisterhood Spotlight, and the honor today goes to Mel!

Mel is smart, funny, and truly a supportive, wonderful friend.  You can find her over at Mel Gets Fit, as she chronicles her journey to lose 100 pounds!

She jumped feet first into the craziness that was our Team Shrinking Jeans. For months and months, I got to know her so well through our insane amount of team emails. She made me laugh and made me cry and was always there for support if I would need it!

Mel fought her nerves and joined us this week in the Exposed movement and I couldn’t be more proud of her!

Mel, you are such a kind, beautiful person… thank you for being YOU! I can’t wait to see you again at Fitbloggin, if not before!

Now it’s your turn to choose the next spotlight, Mel! Please submit your post to us at support@shrinkingjeans.net by Friday!

About Lissa: Melissa is the Co-Founder of Shrinking Kitchen and the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans She has been married for a dozen years and is mother to four children (15,12, 8 and 8), with more soon coming her way through the foster care system. Melissa has a love/hate relationship with food (okay, mostly candy) and cooking. This isn't improved by the fact that her husband, the true family chef, works in another city half the year, leaving Melissa to figure out how to feed her growing family something other than Pop-Tarts. Melissa loves her camera, enjoys traveling, kickboxing, creating beautiful things she finds on Pinterest, and planning her dream home that will be built… someday. melissa@shrinkingjeans.net :: @lissajoy :: whereverimaywander.com :: pinning here View author profile.

      Thanks so much, Nancy! I’ve enjoyed getting to know you better as well. WTG on also putting yourself out there with the exposed movement. Loved your post!!

    Wow, thanks so much for all of your kind words, Lissa. I had such a blast being a part of Team Shrinking Jeans with you and the rest of the gang. You are all such amazing ladies and I feel blessed to call you all friends.

    I especially want to thank you guys for challenging us to join the “Exposed” movement as part of the Shrinkvivor challenge. I already knew about the movement, but was too scared to participate in the past. I probably would have chickened out again this year if it weren’t for the challenge here. Now that I’ve done it, it was SOOOOOO empowering and enlightening. I truly can say my life has changed in many ways thanks to the Sisterhood. I’m so thankful every day that I found this site.

    Ok, I have to stop now before I start crying. LOL

    Love you all!!! xoxo
