So...here's the deal. I am back since Michelle has promised to support me on Spark People. I am leaving Friday for a five day camping trip but when I get back on July 5 I'm right back on here DAILY. That's my promise to anyone who wishes to join me.

If I lose one pound per week it will take me until April 12, 2012 to lose this weight. At first I was disappointed that it would take so long until I thought about it and realized it took me 10 YEARS to put this weight on....so taking one year to take it back off is actually pretty darn good!

It appears nobody is willing to take over as team leader. I have decided to keep plugging away even if I have to do it alone!

Today is my day 1....July 10, 2010.

I have pretty much stopped posting to this team since nobody seems to be using it. I was the only one who huddled for months. If anyone wants to take over as team leader I would appreciate it. Maybe a new team leader could inspire others to start using this team again.

I have struggled all year with my weight. I have not been a faithful Spark user and it shows on the scales.

My goal for December is to maintain my weight. Usually I gain about 3-4 pounds during the holiday season so I think maintaining my weight is a good goal for now.

Beginning with the New Year I am going to dedicate myself to taking care of ME! I hope that many of my Spark Team members will join me and we can once again support each other.

We would love to do dinner and a movie some time. Rowdy will finish up tree plant inspecting in a few weeks so maybe after that? It's hard to plan anything when I never know what time the man will get home!

Thank You Robyn!
I am here for you. I also am looking for the positive spin this year. The negativity is so bad for us. It just makes everything worse. I can't change the people around me, but I can change me. So looks like we have the same goals this year. I will do my best to post everyday and check in with you. I agree that support from loved ones is really wonderful.
We need to get the four of us together this year and not just say we should. Maybe dinner and a movie?

Beautifully said Sharon. As women I believe we spend most of our lives taking care of everyone but ourselves.

I have made a couple of resolutions myself. I have resolved to take care of ME this year. I will take the time to "play" more and worry less. I will count my blessings and focus on all the good things in my life instead of honing in on what's wrong with it. In short, I will try my very best to adopt a POSITIVE attitude. I want to bring people up when they are around me, not bring them down.

Wish me luck! I have a tendency to look at the negative side of things and I really want to break out of that.

I'm really excited about this year and even more excited that you are here Sparking with me again Sharon. I desperately need the support and it means so much more when it comes from someone you love!

With all my heart I wish you success and happiness.

Robyn

With it being a New Year and alot of us out there making resolutions and setting new goals I thought I would share some of mine in this new thread. If any of you have any thoughts to share Please do so...
I have came to the realization that I am not on a diet. This is just the way it is. I need to eat healthier and I need to move my body. Hard to believe it has taken me almost 50 years to figure that out. I was reading a blog on SparkPeople (that was wonderful by the way) by a young woman and she was talking about no deposit, no return and relating it to life. Basically you get out of it what you put into it. I don't feel I have been putting in as much as I should be and so that is my resolution for the New Year. If I don't exercise and eat properly I am not going to feel or look very good. I am tired of the way things have been so it is time to change. That is what I plan to do this year. One day at a time. It is going to be my ME year. I will schedule me time (to work out, plan healthy meals, unwind, destress and to just enjoy life). We only get one shot and I want to make the most of it. I hope all of you do too! Have a great and healthy year everyone!
