I gained 30 pounds in 4 years... the cause??? wedded bliss, adopting two babies, going back to finish my Ph.D., plantar fasciitis in my left foot, chocolate being declared healthy, garden variety laziness??? who knows... but it was there and I was NOT happy about it. THEN I found Spark People. I started Sparking in January 2007 and lost 24 pounds.
Unfortunately, I had to have abdominal surgery in September 07 and that put me flat on my back for two months and a long recovery ...

Unfortunately, I had to have abdominal surgery in September 07 and that put me flat on my back for two months and a long recovery time with no exercise afterward. My loved ones brought me food. I ate. I gained 20 pounds. But, you know what, if I hadn't lost the 24 pounds, I'd be looking at 44 pounds to lose now, rather than 20. I know I can do this by using the spark plan. I know because I've already done it once... and I'm enjoying doing it again.
This is a fantastic lifestyle with wonderful folks to take the journey alongside. Keep the Spark!

My Program:
My mainstay is a Yourself: Fitness DVD for strength training and a Tai Chi video. Also taking the stairs for four flights or less. Parking farther away from the door. Running to the bathroom from all the water I'm drinking now!
