In October of 2004 i went into the hospital almost in a diabetic coma, and my cholesterol and tryglyserides were off the charts!.. i had to change my way of life imideantly!... i lost 50 pounds right away.. just by eating healthy... kept it off until 2006,..eventualy the scare went away,.. and i had started to gain it back.. but i realized i just wasnt going to live long if i kept doing this, and i wanted to get back to eating HEALTHY.... and then i found SPARK!! As long as i have my meals planned, and my calorie count for the day, i stay on track! I plan my meals 2 weeks in advance. I cook for my husband also, but he doesnt like the healthy healthy stuff... so, i make his spegetti sauce w/ ground beef, mine with ground chicken, regular pasta for him, and whole wheat for me. wul-ah!! i do many meals like this, and it works out great! im on my way... once agian!! *kisses*
