Woo Hoo!
My commitment to the team:
I will be an active member of the team and strive to do "The Good Life Well" and enter my air miles in a timely manner. I shall weigh in on time every week! I will support my team mates wherever possible! I will try to lose 5% of my weight!
2013 A New Year, New Beginning. New Challenges!
Challenge no 1
I have put on and off about 12lb last year. So I am out to lose again with a challenge between a Spark friend and myself to get to goal weight. I have changed my goal weight to reflect what I feel is my correct weight for my age and height.
Challenge no 2
I joined the "Jan 2013 Stash Buster/ It's All About Me Challenge" which is a private Spark team. I am busy knitting and will also be doing quite a bit of sewing up and finishing of items I have made in the past and were left unfinished.
Challenge no 3 27th January
I have joined the 2013 Winter 5% challenge!
Challenge no 4
I have joined the UFO challenge which starts on the 1st Feb on the "Knitters" team. Incase you are wondering, UFO, stands for Unfinished Object of which I have many!
Challenge no 5
Is photography in the "A Thousand words...PHOTOGRAPHY" team.
I love to take photos and this will give me a new incentive to let my imagination soar!
I am still walking my way to "Rivendell" on the "A Walk to Rivendell" team which also helps my imagination.
My History
I lost 2 stone then reached a plateau. Saw spark people on the internet so I decided to join. Its a great site with good motivation. I am diabetic and hypothyroid and I live in the UK.
I live in a village in the South of England, its quite hilly. It's good here.
I am interested in Archaeology and History. Birds, especially birds of prey. Flora and fauna. Animals of all kinds. I also love to do lots of gardening and crafts. And I enjoy keeping fit and healthy with Spark People and my DH!

My Goals:
2013
I have met my goal to come off all my diabetic medication and use diet alone last year.
Goal 1
I need to lose weight with the 2013 5% Winter Challenge in order to stay off the meds.
Goal 2
I need to keep exercising to keep my blood sugar good!
Goal 3
Return to what I was doing when I first joined Spark People. ie: Exercise early in the day.
Do Strength training, aerobics and yoga and walk every day
Goal 4
I have reduced my cholesterol and have a good ratio. Continue to maintain this.
Goal 5
My blood pressure is good. To keep it that way I must get my heart rate up every day and keep my salt low. I do not need any more stress this year LOL!
Goal 6
I will keep exercising, strength training, weight lifting, walking, hiking and gardening.
Goal 7
I will strive to track my nutrition & exercise every day

I am doing more things for me this year, art, craft and jeweler

January 2013
I have joined the Winter 5% challenge and hope to lose 7lb which is 5% of my present weight.
