Hey! Congratulations on reaching your goal. that is great to hear and I bet you feel awesome! as you should! I am about to move to tuscaloosa in august and am hoping to meet people from the area with similar likes as me. I actually had a westie, he name was holly but unfortunately the UPS man hit her one day:( I now have a german shepard and a mastibull (pitbull and bull mastiff mix) they are just the biggest sweethearts. I love dogs. Thanks so much for the advise and I hope to be talking to you on here soon. keep up the awesome work!

hi katie,
welcome to sparkpeople !!! i'm 52 and i live 20 miles out in tuscaloosa county at a farm. i've been a member since may' 08. i reached a goal this week of losing 30 pounds by my 34th anniversary yesterday. i love sparkpeople and all the tools and articles there are to help you. the best advice i can give is track your nutrition and fitness and drink your water. also find a sparkteam you can participate in and make sparkfriends. i am on some SP gave me when i joined which i really don't participate, but i am also on the alabama team and the mediterrean diet team. but the team where i found my sparkhome is the west highland white terrier (westie). i have the best group of encouraging, motivating and inspirational people there that have been there for me on my journey. i noticed you are on the dog lovers team. what kind of dog do you have?? if by chance a westie, then feel free to join up with our team !! they have teams for all different other breeds too.
i hope you watch all the videos to learn everything about navigating the site and just have fun with it. you will reach your goal before you know it !!
