Spark People, Phase 2
Well, here I am again, my second time around with Spark People. I left several months ago because I became frustrated with Spark not remembering my password, even though I appreciated all its weight control features.
However, I've now reached the point where I need to lose a few pounds before the weight gets out of control. (Easy for me to do, as I love food!) Also, I recently saw a brief TV spot on the local news about how someone had lost 80 pounds through this web site. And that ...
Well, here I am again, my second time around with Spark People. I left several months ago because I became frustrated with Spark not remembering my password, even though I appreciated all its weight control features.
However, I've now reached the point where I need to lose a few pounds before the weight gets out of control. (Easy for me to do, as I love food!) Also, I recently saw a brief TV spot on the local news about how someone had lost 80 pounds through this web site. And that re-sparked (pardon pun) my interest.
So here we go again. Hope to re-connect with some of the friends I knew before and of course attract new ones.
I'm kind of semi-reitired; have my own graphic design/writing business following a career as a high school/community college English teacher. I've been living in the South Jersey area for many years although my hometown is Chicago.
Here's hoping for success in this re-visited Spark People phase.

My Goals:
To lose a few unwanted pounds and to continue a healthy lifestyle

• Recording fitness activities; striving for 5 days a week: aerobics, walking, weight training, spinning
Personal Information:
I was previously known as "prestigepub" on this site. I decided to start as a new name so I would avoid the log-in problems I had before. I grew up in Chicago, moved to Pittsburgh as a senior in high school and came to South Jersey after graduating from Penn State's School of Journalism. Have been here ever since!
As you might tell from some of my photos, I am an animal lover and presently have two dogs and two cats. The second introduced herself to me on my front porch. I trapped her (humanely) and had her spayed. Thinking she was feral, I tried to return her to the environment--the nearby woods--but she kept coming back! Apparently she was dumped by someone because she appears fairly domesticated and loves to purr when held. So she lives life pretty much on the front porch and surrounding grounds. ( I must keep cats outdoors because of my son-in-law's allergy.) I'm discovering that cats can be wonderful pets as well as dogs...nice to have a new discovery at this age!
Other Information:
I try to stay busy and focused and keep a positive outlook on everything. Sometimes it's difficult, but usually I succeed.
