I am so happy that I have found Spark People, I believe I read it in a women's magazine. Anyway, I have lost 20 lbs thus far and look forward to hitting my goal by January. The slow loss is the best, it stays off longer. I found that even if I goof up a tad that when I get back on track it falls right off again!!! Summer can be hard with all the parties going on but if I keep active it works out in the end.
