I've been using SparkPeople for a good three months now and I figured its about time I get to posting and meet you wonderful people! Since August I've lost 15 pounds. 15 more to go! Since I started losing weight about 3 years ago, I've lost about 50 pounds to this point. But as I tried to do it more and more on my own, the weight kept creeping back.. it was hard to know what exactly to do all the time, which is where Spark People has been a HUGE help! I'm running my first 5k this Thanksgiving, and I never thought I'd be a runner! SparkPeople gave me the training plans to help me start off, and I'm just so happy with the skill training and positive encouragement I see in forums all the time. I feel very lucky to be a part of this community, and I would love to hear your story!!
