Life 2.0

Hey everyone, plenty of practice losing weight over my 44 years, but much better at putting it on. I've ignored my type 2 diabetes for 12 years now and watched my numbers get worse. Time for an overhaul of my life. Spend too much time working and surfing the web, not enough time taking care of myself and working towards my goals and dreams. The change starts here. Now.

Someone has to be first here, so it is me. Another notch on my Sparky belt... Welcome to Spark!

Alright, if you saw the ultimate caper movie "The Great Escape" (and Netflix it BY ALL MEANS if you have not), you will recall the scene when Segjwick the Manufacturer finally gets to the Spanish border in the Pyrenees. From Australia and speaking no Spanish, he asks whether he now is in Spain. The response: "Si, Espana! I am your guide, senor."

Well, I am YOUR guide, senor! Welcome to Sparkpeople. Here you will find tons of trackers, helpful hints, blogs, success stories, games, data, insights, etc. Probably behind the scenes there are diet and nutrition professionals (as well as internet denizens) but most of the people here are just fellow Sparkies who are somewhere in the weight-loss caravan.

I'm happy yo answer any question you might have. You may wish to explore some of the groups here too (there is a well-developed social media side to Spark Peoople), I founded and co-lead probably one of the most active groups on the site, called "100 Days of Summer 2012 Challenge" - we'd welcome your participation. It's never too late to start.

Seeing you are from Illinois and male, (my brother-in-law and his family live in Springfield IL) , I'll also let you know there are groups here of Cardinals fans, Cubs fans, Whitesox fans, also Rams, Bears, Big Ten football and basketball, etc. Bottom line there is no shortage if ways to get involved.

Welcome again! Good luck!
