I have the power to change my habits and so do you!
I joined SP on March 3. 2012 and it is changing my life. Not only have I begun to lose weight and get stronger, firmer muscles, I have also gained confidence in myself. I believe that I really can change my life for the better by breaking old, destructive habits and developing new, healthy ones.
Since starting Spark, I have met the following goals:

2. In 9 weeks, I lowered my blood pressure to the point that I no longer need to be on medication.
I still have a looooooong way to go, but at least I am heading in the right direction. I want to have a healthy BMI and lower my cholesterol. I also really, really want to not have to shop in the plus size department and I want to wear a tank top in public without feeling self-conscious.
I know I can do this and so can you! Feel free to add me as a friend; we all need help and support on this journey!
