I will achieve my GOAL!

Update 2/22/2012:

To begin I must say that Spark is wonderful. From Jan 2011 to June 2011 I lost over 71 pounds.

If you fall down dust yourself off and get right back up and go for it again. I am looking forward to a wonderful, healthy fit and active 2012. :-)



I am a mother, wife, full-time graduate student and I have a full-time career. I really need to shed this extra weight, I have started my diet journey many times but I always stop. I just heard of this site and I think that it will be a good place to start, I need support and encouragement. I would like to lose at least 100 pounds.

Thank you. :)
I meant to write you the other day to tell you that your 174lb pic is fabulous! Your waist looks so tiny. I can't wait until I can wear shirts tucked in and have my jeans belted. You've done such a phenominal job!

Thank you, girl! I am begining to really feel the bible verse that reads

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
Romans 8:37

It's been great to feel triumphant even through something like a small gain on a random morning! Thank you so much for the support!

Thank you for the love and concern. Mother's Day is really, really tough since my daughter and only child passed away. Plus the anniversary of her passing is two weeks away. So the holiday was extremely tough. Memorial's Day weekend is tough (the weekend she passed) and it is all about trying to get through the next few weeks. Today, I am feeling a little better, though.
