Introduction Text Hi everyone, Originally on this site I started off by asking someone to give me a kick in the behind to get me started. I now have come to realize that just spending time, absorbing the spirit of the spark is in effect the kick that I was looking for. To think otherwise would be negative backward thinking, not positive forward thinking....I know tmi.... But for those who don't know me yet I'm Karen 57 year old mother of two wonderful daughters, their spouses and two great grandsons. Before Sparks I had tried every diet in the world and now realize the D word is not really about what we are doing here. Small steps lead to big gains (in the good weigh). I have lost weight since joining, did it take awhile yes. Was it worth the wait, yes. I'm approaching 4 months now and have not looked back a day.

My goal with the help of this wonderful site and helpful people, is to live a healthier life, become more accountable for my actions and connect with others who share similar issues and successes.

I am very much connected to the gym, lift weights and do cardio. I love to find and cook healthy recipes that are full of taste, adventurous and fun.

I live on a small island with my best friend/husband with 21 residents, most year round, but a few cottages, The island is on the South Shore of Nova Scotia a beautiful paradise, yes even in the winter. We have a beautiful cat, Oskar who keeps us on our toes.

When I'm not at the gym or entertaining, I love to read, play brain games on my Nintendo DS, love the Wii activities also, birdwatching and keeping in touch with friends and family on the computer or gatherings.
