I understand completely MsCharmaine~ I have been gone for a couple years and decided this was definitely the best place for me. Unfortunately, I took a bad turn and gained some additional weight myself... so I am also back!

Welcome to Spark. You have taken an important step on your journey by joining!
I've been a member a little over 3 years. I made fantastic progress and lost 100 pounds in the first year BUT I became careless about nutrition and exercise and have gained a lot of the pounds back! I became disgusted with myself and closed my Spark account, but soon realized I NEEDED to be here. I'm back using the nutrition and exercise trackers now - they are so important. The sense of community and the friendships I have made here keep me going!
Explore the site, make your Sparkpage if you haven’t, join teams, and make friends. You will find this site an amazing place full of encouragement, inspiration, advice, and support.
Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Good luck!
Sheila

I'm back at Spark People after a 5 year absence. I lost 85 pounds and gained it back. I'm trying to force myself into the mindset to get my butt back on track.

SP was a wonderful resource, with the recipes and the community support. So I'm jumping in again hoping that we can motivate each other.

I'm a 47 year old woman, with 2 sons and two elderly parents I'm trying to manage. Somewhere along the line I forgot to manage myself.
