The Beginning 2010 : ........
After being unemployed for nearly 2 years and a bout of depression to go with it, I promised myself when I did get a job I would quit smoking. Well I was offered a job the Wednesday before Xmas 2009 and quit smoking Xmas day 2009, and I started my new job on 1/4/10 .
I have always had issues with my weight and during my unemployment I ballooned to my highest ever. My dearest friends would make suggestions and offers to get me motivated but I was deaf to their voices. Finally working again and not smoking I started to get concerned about gaining more weight and I litterly woke up one morning mid Jan 2010 and said "today is the day".
So Jan 15th 2010 the journey began for me and by Oct 2010 I had lost 57 pounds. I had been very active with researching and reading and learning as much as I could online about nutrition and eating healthy and then after reading a post on the Hungry Girl web site that same month I found SPARKPEOPLE and decided to check it out. I was looking for another means of motivation and am so glad I looked here. I became very involved and active with reading the articles and message boards before I really decide to take part in the "program". Now I am here daily and love it. I have made some wonderful friends and have learned so much about how to make changes to a healthy lifestyle and making it permanent.

My goal is to become a healthier person while changing my eating habits and getting in shape.

Personal Information:

Other Information:
I am over 1/2 century years of age and until I lost this weight, I felt every year of it. I am a true believer in fate and that things do happen for a reason. I place my faith in God Almighty and know that he walks with me everyday. I enjoy TV in the evenings after work and dinner, weekend getogethers with my dear friends, going to the movies, the beach, would love to take a glassblowing class, and I would like to start painting again too. I love animals, especially birds and dogs, Would like to travel back to the Caribbean someday, And it's also very important to know that my cocktail of choice is a martini (Cosmo ) ....... CHEERS !!!
