JazzeJR's Spark for Life
After losing 10 lbs on my own, I joined SP in August, 2011 hoping to lose 15 more lbs with the help of the Spark Teams.
Update 5/3/2013
I'm gearing up for the Spring 5% Challenge. I will walk/jog and eat LESS to lose my last 9 lbs. I can do this!
Update 1/22/2013

Update 1/22/2013
I'm all signed up for the Winter 5% Challenge where I will lose these stubborn 11 lbs during the 8 weeks of the challenge. I will get back to my exercise regimen; I'm already back to eating more healthfully--so if I track my calories, I'll be on my way to victory! Hopefully I'll gain some insight to maintenance this time--outside of no more cruises....
Update 12/25/2012
Having ended the Fall Challenge 4 lbs above goal weight, I am now back from a cruise where I proceeded to add 9 more lbs. So I'll be starting the Winter Challenge 13 lbs up. Gee-gads! I'm determined to get them off, but this has to stop. My maintenance is just a continual--lbs. on-lbs. off. There must be a better way that doesn't involve calorie-counting.
Update 8/19/2012
As predicted the Summer Challenge got me back to my goal weight of 135. I LOVE those challenges! Now if I can just maintain till the Fall Challenge....
Update 6/7/2012
Ended Spring Challenge at 136 lbs--within maintenance range, but ate my way up to 140 in Mazatlan, Mexico. I know the Summer Challenge will help me get back down to 135--of course I'll aim for "the cushion" of 133. My body doesn't seem to know how to maintain that weight, but I'll keep trying through more intervals with my exercise this summer.
Update 3/17/2012
Well, I could not hold onto the 2-lb cushion. Nor did I hold onto the 135 -- maintenance is still a mystery to me. But at 137, I'm going for 133 again with the Spring 5% Challenge. I can do this--again!
Update 1/29/2012
2 lbs below goal; now in maintenance. The Winter 5% Challenge helped keep me on the plan!
Update 11/19/2011
I have now lost 13 more lbs, and am just 2 lbs from goal and maintenance. I want this to be the first year of a lifetime where I eat sensibly and continue to exercise through the holidays, and do not start the new year "on a diet." After my success with the Fall 5% challenge, I have renewed faith in myself--I CAN DO IT!
