It's easier here to make friends than out in the "real" world... so much less judgemental! LOL
Welcome to the team, m'dear! Kathy
"The real secret of success is enthusiasm..." Walter P. Chrysler said it, I believe it. That's what I want in my life--to give my imagination a chance, to live with energy and enthusiasm!
Ralph Waldo Emerson said 'Life belongs to the energetic.' But you don't have to be frenetic and hyper--some energy is quiet and steadfast... and that works too! LOL
Life comes in specific increments, which we receive as a gift of one moment at a time. That's why it's called the PRESENT!

Sandy!
SPARK site is great...you can be as active as you want to be. I just used it for nutrition tracking in the beginning.
My biggest problem is motivation...I know I need to exercise , and watch my food intake, cut carbs... but I get tired of it, clicking in to Spark keeps it in my mind...motivates me to think about what I'm doing.
So pop in often, Hope 2012 is your Healthiest year yet!

Hey Sandy! I have been on SP for 3 years, sometimes with large gaps in activity. New habits are hard to make; for me, it was especially tiring tracking everything when that had never been a part of life before! I've been back for a couple of months now, and I actually look forward to logging in and trying recipes, tracking food, water and exercise and I really like reading blogs. Hope you find success here!

Hi Sandy I too wasn't real into the talking/posting online stuff at first. Just reading the posts from everyone will help you a ton and motivate you too! Just do what you feel comfortable with and focus on your health!

Hi
It is always hard the first few times around... I can't say never give up but please always come back and give it another try... you never know when you will succeed... just think of it as "I choose to make the rest of my life, the best of my life." Only you can do it... we can be there to encourage you... and give you tips....
Hang in there... it does get easier as time goes by...

Be the best that you can be.

Hi: I'm Sandy and I started sparkpeople last year but gave up. I didnt become that involved and was to shy to try and talk to anyone. Going to give it a try again. I'm diabetic and have CAD. So hope it goes better this year, I'm still hanging in there. Wish me luck.
