"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch!"
I'm Mishelle and I've been an active member of Spark since 2006! I first joined to lose weight before my wedding and loved the program. At my lowest, I had lost almost 60 pounds! I've had some ups and downs since then, but I've never returned to my starting weight since I joined - Spark works. I was always the "fat kid" growing up: I was the youngest member of my Weight Watchers group when I joined at 17, and the weight was back within 6 months. SP helps me keep it off!

Even though I'm only 31, I've struggled with bursitis in both of my hips for about 2 years, which is a result of standing up (and not being allowed to sit) during my 11-14 hour shifts at work. It's painful and SO frustrating that sometimes finding activity I can do is a challenge. There's no real cure for bursitis, but I've been able to get it under control so I can exercise again - YAY!!!
I've been married for almost 7 years, and we've finally decided to start planning for a baby (although not for awhile still!) and I am 100% determined to improve my health so I can improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy and live a longer life overall! I know I can do this, I've done it before, and I need to MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Member Since: 3/21/2006
SparkPoints: 20,965
Fitness Minutes: 12,025
My Goals:
Long term goal: reach goal weigh (59lbs to go) before 2013 is over. Be ready to discuss trying to get pregnant!
Medium range goal: lose 15 lbs by June 8th.
Short term goal: lose 2 lbs per week.
My Program:
My program changes from time to time, but I'm really focused on a few basic things:
1. Track calories daily and stay within my range 80% of the time
2. Do Spark Coach daily.
3. Exercise 2-3x per week, depending on my work schedule.
4. Practice positive affirmations every day
Personal Information:
I live just outside Portland, Oregon, where I run a veterinary clinic by day and also own Pinky's Paper Crafts - a website for my custom handmade scrapbooks and party accessories. I love reality TV, wine and crafting. I've been married for 6 years and we have an adorable 5-year-old bunny named Pancakes!
Other Information:
I believe there is no reason for us all not to reach our goals with SP. I have met all the other goals I have set for myself for education, career, etc, so why should getting to my goal weight and living healthy be any different? ITS NOT! WE WILL ALL MAKE IT!

becaue we are both in control. I think your goal to not go overboad is great. How was the party and how did you do?
