Take great strides and know you have lived!
I am 36 years old and live with my husband and 2 children aged 12 and 13. My oldest daughter recently left to attend college last September.
I am on a journey to lose weight and develop my fitness. I'm reclaiming my life and no longer want to be a slave to food. I am conscious and in control!
I came across Spark people by accident and haven't looked back since. It's a great place to share tips and motivate one another to lose weight.

Losing weight for me has been about changing bad habits and being aware of them. It's a long term goal for me :-)
My weight problem stemmed from a inactive life style at the beginning of my writing career. My ideas for a story were so gripping I would sit down to write from morning till night and, while I typed, I ate and ate to fuel my creations. I finished writing my children's science fiction trilogy 28 pounds heavier!
I cannot stand taking pictures of myself being overweight but I have one or two that are so horrible they motivate me to lose weight.
I love the feeling of a toned body. It makes me feel good about myself.
We are alchemists: We can burn fat and develop muscle!
Fruit and veg have become my friends. Chocolate and crisps are not so friendly so I will see much less of them from now on, because good friends don't try to make you look bad!
