Since graduating from high school I've gained 100 pounds. Graduation was 9 years ago but 100 pounds is a staggering number. I am unhappy with my weight. I want to be more comfortable in my own skin. I want to stop snoring so much at night LOL and be able to run and play with my nephews without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. I joined Spark two years ago thinking I was gonna loose weight but that has yet to happen. One thing I can say is that my weight has remained constant but my inches ...
Since graduating from high school I've gained 100 pounds. Graduation was 9 years ago but 100 pounds is a staggering number. I am unhappy with my weight. I want to be more comfortable in my own skin. I want to stop snoring so much at night LOL and be able to run and play with my nephews without feeling like I'm gonna pass out. I joined Spark two years ago thinking I was gonna loose weight but that has yet to happen. One thing I can say is that my weight has remained constant but my inches fluctuate. I loose inches faster than I loose pounds which is something. I'm looking for all the help and motivation I can get so please feel free to drop me a line or add me as a friend.



~~~~~~~~~Never Quit ~~~~~~~~~~
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,

And he learnt too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

My Goals:
I would like to be healthy. I am the biggest I have ever been. My bad cholesterol is too high for my taste and my good cholesterol is only at 40 when it should be 50 above. I'm not getting any younger and I do NOT want to need a scooter in 10 years because I can't around.

My Program:
Right now I'm taking it one step at a time. For my body weight 17 cups of water a day is recommended but right now I'm concentrating on making sure I get 8. I'm cutting all white starches and making sure I have a daily intake of fruit and veggies. I've also committed to doing NO LESS than 30 mins of cardio along with strength training every other day.

Hey Nykky - Thanks for reading my blog and posting such encouraging words. I think I've lost the same 20 pounds about 623 times over the past years - but THIS TIME - I want to keep going strong and lose all of it! I just need to be true to myself and stop putting mindless calories in my mouth and get out there an be diligent about walkingwalkingwalking.

We CAN do this!

Welcome to the 300+team. 300 is such a BIG number but if we persevere, focus and motivate one another we can reach our goals!
We have so much of life ahead of us and it is so much better to work on ourselves and reach for our goals.

We can do it-- we are worth the effort!

All we can do is take it one day, one bite, one pound at a time.

I am looking forward to supporting you in your quest for better health and a happier future.
