I'm back in control. I left SparkPeople in 2011. I was not tracking my food and not controlling portions. During the fall and winter of 2011 I regained about 25 pounds. I returned to SparkPeople in late February 2012 with a weight of 185.
I joined the Spring Challenge which started 3/17/12, and lost over 10% of my body weight. I'm back on track and doing great. As of today (10/6/12) as I update my SparkPage, my weight is 160. Down 25 pounds since returning to SparkPeople. ...

I realize just how important it is to make use of the SparkPeople tools. Tracking my food and exercise, weighing in weekly, and connecting with a SparkTeam that is both supportive and motivating - these are the keys to success. It sounds so basic, but it makes a world of difference.

I walk every day 2 miles (sometimes 4 or more)
