Introduction Text Spark has been a great resource for me as I try to lose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and making new friends through the website. Some of the things I enjoy include traveling, canoeing, walking, fishing, time with family and friends, reading. And... I can't forget to mention, I absolutely LOVE animals (except snakes). If there's anything you want to know, just ask.

I started in April 2007 needing to lose 30 pounds. I reached my initial goal weight of 150 for a short time. I stayed pretty close to it consistently staying between 148 and 152. Maintaining proved to be more challenging than the weight loss itself. I have creaped back up on the scale. I now need to lose 15 pounds to get back to the target weight of 150. So.... here I go again. As of this month (November 2010), I am once again finding the motivation to do what I need to do in order to drop the weight again.

Fitness: Return to walking 3-4 times a week. Joined a fitness center. I would also like to find a fitness buddy to help me stay motivated. Increase intake of fruits and veggies. Diet: I am using spark as a resource. I can't use the spark diet as a whole due to other health problems. However, I find that I am able to incorporate a lot from spark into my overall diet.

I live in Manhattan Kansas. I have a wide range of interests. I share my home with Gracie (cat) and Farkel (Cocker Spaniel).

Favorite quote: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
