A Journey That Will Never End!
In September of 2007 I was surfing the internet and stumbled apon Sparkpeople. I signed up right away. Then came the holidays; Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years and I lived to eat.
One day towards the end of January 2008 I was looking at some family photos and I was ashamed. Why had I let myself get so big and out of shape? I was on medication for Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Depression, and Gerd.

In September of 2007 I was surfing the internet and stumbled apon Sparkpeople. I signed up right away. Then came the holidays; Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years and I lived to eat.
One day towards the end of January 2008 I was looking at some family photos and I was ashamed. Why had I let myself get so big and out of shape? I was on medication for Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Depression, and Gerd.
I realized that I had to stop playing around and get serious. I had tried just about every fad diet out there with temporary success. Temporary to say because I would gain it all back. I remembered that I had signed up for Sparkpeople and decided to log on and get active on the site. I threw myself into the challenge of getting healthy. I will never “live to eat” or “diet” again.
I can proudly say that I have been taken off of all of the medication. I have so much more energy. I recently participated in my first ½ Marathon and look forward to others. Although I am close to my goal weight I will never stop working towards ways of improving my life.
I set my goal weight for a 60 pound loss (154) and reached it in May 13th, 2009. I made a new goal weight and now I am working towards that!
I value the friendships I have made on Sparkpeople. The motivation and support has helped me tremendously along this journey and I vow to help others make their dreams come true!
