Hi,
My name is Marilyn. I have heard wonderful things about Sparkpeople and decided to join. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and at the beginning of the year I decided I wanted to make a permanent lifestyle change. I started January 2011 weighing 204.4 which was my heaviest weight ever and am currently down to 138.8. When I first started I was averaging a ten pound losts per month. However, when I reached the low 150's, I noticed the weight was not coming off as easily even though I was doing everything the same. I was stuck in the 140's for more than eight weeks and finally made it to the 130's last week. My goal is to loose one hundred pounds, I enjoyed reading the various success stories and am inspired by many of them. I hope by joing Sparkpeople I will be able to write my own success story.
