Welcome to SparkPeople. You've done GREAT with your losses and yes, you've come to the right place to continue losing and achieve that healthy lifestyle we're all looking for. I started at 380 lb. and am down 96 lb. so far. Still fat, but it's coming off through the help of SP and my Spark friends. Many people here are on various different food plans, but SP has experts in nutrition and exercise to use as resources, so it's wise to listen to them. They also have so many good recipes to fix NORMAL food in healthy ways--it's not really a diet. It's just making changes for the rest of our lives--changes we can live with that will get us healthy and keep us there. It's not just about the weight--it's also fitness, enough sleep, emotional attitude, etc. It's the WHOLE person. I'm sure you will love it here on SP. Glad to have you with us.
Cherie Do a little more, a little better, today than yesterday--a little more tomorrow than today.
