I have lost a total of 5 pounds, 3 inches around my waist, 1 inch around my hips, ˝ inch around my thighs, and ˝ an inch around my upper arms… and walked a total of 65 ˝ miles!

I will admit that I had a rough start to this site, gaining 3 pounds and slow weight loss... but I waas determined to finally stick with something and see it through. Even though my weight loss is still alittle low, I am highly pleased with all of my measurements!

This site is so completely addicting and wonderful. I am so happy that I found SparkPeople.com! Such a great community of friends, hope, love, and encouragement mixed with knowledge!


In result to all of the this and you, I have finally learned to say that whatever will be, will be.... and learned to take the good with the bad and just breathe!

A very large goes out to each and everyone of you on this site! After my stroke, I felt alone and misunderstood, trying to force myself to be 'back to normal' again to please everyone whose lives went back to normal after I got out of the hospital... but felt like I was digging myself an early grave. After all of your encouragement and support, I am NOT alone! I can do this. Thank you again... you all are all
