ENGAGED!!!!!
Crazy but I'm FINALLY engaged! I have never been happier...but now I have added motivation to keep it going!!!
Well, after loosing almost 70lbs with spark since June 2006, I'm sad to say that I am back up 10lbs. Between working, going to grad school and buying a new house, life hasn't been very 'relaxing' and it has honestly been hard finding time for myself. But I have decided that I'm done using that as an excuse! I worked too hard to get where I am and I WILL NOT GO BACK! ...

But I have decided that I'm done using that as an excuse! I worked too hard to get where I am and I WILL NOT GO BACK!
So here's my new goal. In the end of June, my boyfriend and I are going on vacation to Florida. His parents recently bought a house down there on a nice golf course and they have invited us to use it! There are pools, hot tubs and beaches everywhere...and I WILL BE IN A BINKINI!!! I am sooo determined!
I WILL STAY UNDER 1350 CALORIES 6 DAYS A WEEK
I WILL DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY
I WILL GET AT LEAST 45 MINS OF CARDIO DAILY
I WILL DO STRENGTH TRAINING 3 DAYS A WEEK
There, now it's in writing and I have something concrete!
Sadly, I have gotten away from running 4-5 miles daily, and boy does my body show it! My goal is to get back to where I was running wise by Feb. I ran for almost 2 years now, so I know with some proper training and easing into it, I can be back there soon.
Check out my team, the Look Better Naked group. That group has honestly been my rock since last year and I have found the most motivation/great friends there.
PERSISTANCE PAYS OFF!

My Goals:
TO BE IN A BIKINI BY OUR JUNE 25TH VACATION!!!
To feel my best and look my best by my May 9, 2009 wedding!
...to feel better about myself when I look in the mirror...TO FEEL SEXY...to have more energy...to have a better self-esteem....to be able to say I am beautiful....to live a long and healthy life with the ones that I love.
My Program:
Well, it's been over six months since I''ve started my weight loss journey. I am down to 121 but still need to kick these last few pounds. I'd love to eventually get down to around 115 but that will come with toning.
Personal Information:
My name's Melissa!! I am a 23 yr old college student. I am a graduate student at Saint Bonaventure University and I am working towards my Masters in counseling. I run an after school program for At-Risk Youth in a local district and work as an administrative assistant part time as well.
My boyfriend just proposed and I am so excited!!! He and I bought a house in July and have worked hard making it beautiful! I'm in love with my friends and I wouldn't be where I am today with them.
I have a huge family, 4 brothers and sisters (I am the oldest) and my wonderful parents. I''m super close with all of my siblings and encourage all of them on their healthy lifestyles. I even got my mom to join SP!
MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH, I WOULD NOT BE WHERE I AM TODAY WITHOUT ALL MY SPARK FRIENDS WHO FILL MY LIFE WITH SUPPORT and MOTIVATION!!
