Wanted to take a minute to say welcome to the new members. Were any of you out there shoveling today? You can list that as part of your daily exercise! Didn't realize it burned so many calories.

I agree I can lose weight if fact 100's of pounds it just its the same lbs over and over. I was at my goal weight 5 years ago after doing weight watchers then I started working 3rd shift and watched the weight come back all 45 lbs of it.
We will learn to keep it off this time!

I set up challenges again in the hopes that people will bite...lol They are pretty basic, things that we have to do in order to lose some weight, why not compete against each other to encourage ourselves to get more done for the week...its a week to week basis, So each week we will start over..It starts this coming Sun and will run till sat, that is when all your numbers have to be where they belong I will add them up saturday night or early Sunday, then i will post our winners 1st, 2nd and 3rd..What ya think...weigh in is this friday...

KNIT27 Go to your Spark Page. On the far right is a place to Edit your Spark Page. Hit that. When the page comes up go to the very bottom and the ticker info is there.

I've been a Sparker for a while now, but I haven't really had much of a chance to get active on alot of the teams that I am a member on. I am making more of an effort to do that and wanted to stop by and introduce myself here! Hope every one is having a great weekend. I don't know about the rest of the state, but the nw corner is having some beautiful fall weather right now. It's awesome.

It looks like a great site, lots of info and tools! I think we CAN do this!

Hi Keystone Friends! I too just joined 3 days ago. I have battled my weight for a long time by using every excuse I could find. I just lost my best friend on my 40th birthday and realized you have one chance at life.

This is a great site. Although I am not the most technology savvy LOL!

I hear you. Three years ago I too lost 78 pounds and have gained it all back. Before I gain even more, I want to turn it around. The best thing for both of us, is we know we can do it! By the way, my name is Gerri.
