Back on June 27th when I restarted my weight loss journey I had high hopes but not a whole lot of confidence! Fast forward 4 months and my confidence is growing! I have officially lost 22 pounds by my (self-imposed) deadline! When I stepped on the scale on Saturday morning, I almost thought it was a dream - I can't remember the last time I was that excited to see a number on the scale.

My next goal is a lofty one (especially with the holidays in full swing), 25 pounds by mid-March but I have faith that if I just keep plugging along, I will accomplish my goals. My family has been super supportive which has made a world of difference this time around. Also, I am not losing the weight for some big special event. I am doing this for me. I think this is the first time I have actually worked on losing weight for myself. It feels good!!

Thanks for the support and good luck to everyone on their "Spark Journey"
