The last six months of my life have been very difficult, emotionally, mentally, and physically. I was in Baltimore most of the past six months tending to my father and my dear father-in-law.

My dear father-in-law passed away December 7, 2010 and my wonderful father passed away on January 10, 2011.

I returned to my home in FL last Tuesday and have been chilling after so much stress. While I need another week or so to really get in the groove of "sparking" again, I have reset my weight and am going back to the 1st stage of the program. I need to re-read my spark book and refamiliarize myself with the program.

I also want to thank all my faithful friends for all the love, support and prayers over the past six months. I will need lots of help to get motivated again and continue on because of my weight gain. Sometime this week I am going back to the gym to renew my membership.

Love to all, Betty
