The journey restarted... this time hopefully will stay on path


Hello sparkpeople. I've actually been on sparkpeople for a few years and have always found it incredibly encouraging and inspirational in helping people reach their goals. I lost 65lbs when I was last on spark, with all of the inspirational stories and tips I got from the website. I have unfortunately since then, gained back over 35 lbs since I was on this last :(

After falling off the wagon for over a year, I realize I have slipped back into my old ways. I hope I can once again ...
Hello sparkpeople. I've actually been on sparkpeople for a few years and have always found it incredibly encouraging and inspirational in helping people reach their goals. I lost 65lbs when I was last on spark, with all of the inspirational stories and tips I got from the website. I have unfortunately since then, gained back over 35 lbs since I was on this last :(

After falling off the wagon for over a year, I realize I have slipped back into my old ways. I hope I can once again lose the weight, and restart living a newer healthy and happy lifestyle that I had initially found so helpful the first time around, and keep at it for good this time.

I hope to find the same inspiration and motivation I found last time on this site. Good luck to all of us trying to reach our weight loss and fitness goals!

    I was 54 when I joined SparkPeople and 56 when I came back and started my Spark Program, starting with Stage One. This is a one day at a time program, but if you do the SparkPeople Program Steps, it really does work. I am terribly average, it's the SP program that is extraordinary.

    I found logging my foods in the Nutrition Tracker helped me to lose 90 lbs in 16 months! I started at 210 and went to 120. I am 5'1.5" short, lol.

    I hung clothing that was too small on my closet door and every time I would get discouraged I would try them on. Week by week they started fitting! That kept me motivated.

    Welcome aboard, we really are all in the same boat! Sometimes we can sail right along but sometimes we have to be rowing like crazy!

    You can make it happen! SparkPeople really does work!

    I spent most of my 59 years in Obesityville - that is one town I never want to visit ever again!
    Slim City is way more fun!!

    20 Facts About Pineapples

    No, It’s NOT National Pineapple Day . . . I just thought I would share with you some information on Pineapples!

    Pineapple Facts:
    * The pineapple is native to Brazil and Paraguay.
    * The first written record of the word "pineapple" in English was in 1398 and it was used to refer to a pine cone. It comes from the Spanish word for pine cone, "piña."
    * Christopher Columbus found pineapples on the Caribbean island of Guadalupe in 1493 and took them back to Spain. The Spanish used the word for pine cone ("piña") for them because they resembled pine cones.
    * After Columbus introduced them to Spain, pineapples became popular among sailors as protection against scurvy.
    * The first pineapple arrived in England in 1660.
    * In 1694, the term "pine cone" was created to refer to pine cones instead of "pineapple" in order to allow pineapples the sole use of the word.
    * The Spanish introduced the first pineapples to Hawaii. The state is now one of the top pineapple producers in the world, producing one third of the world's pineapple crop and 60 percent of the world's canned pineapple.
    * "Hala kahiki" is the Hawaiian word for pineapple. When Hawaiians first saw the pineapple, they thought it resembled the Hawaiian Hala, so they named it "hala kahiki," meaning "foreign Hala."
    * "The Pineapple King," James Dole, started his first pineapple plantation in Wahiawa, Hawaii in 1900 and opened his first cannery in 1901.
    * In 1911, Henry Ginaca invented the Ginaca machine that could peel and core 35 pineapples per minute, making canned pineapple much easier to produce. Before this, each pineapple had to be peeled and cored by hand. Because of this invention, Dole's pineapple canning business exploded and other pineapple canneries soon adopted the machine.
    * In 2005, 212,000 tones of pineapples were produced in Hawaii.
    * The Maui Pineapple Company is Hawaii's biggest pineapple producer. They began operations in Maui in 1909.
    * Del Monte began producing pineapples in Oahu in 1917.
    * In 2006, Del Monte announced that it would cease pineapple production in Oahu by the end of 2008 because they can produce it much cheaper in other parts of the world.
    * Del Monte began growing pineapple in Oahu in 1917.
    * The most popular pineapple sold in the United States is the Smooth Cayenne. The other three varieties sold in the United States are the Red Spanish, the Sugar Loaf, and the Golden Supreme.
    * Pineapples take about 18 months to grow.
    * One cup of pineapple has about 135 calories and 33% of the RDA of Vitamin C.
    * A pineapple is ripe if one of its top leaves can easily be pulled out.
    * You can't put fresh pineapple in Jell-O because the bromelain content prevents gelatin from setting. Canned pineapple, on the other hand, can be added to Jell-O because the canning process destroys the bromelain.

    Thanks for checking in on me! My back is doing a lot better today, and I was able to do a really light walking workout for an hour, which burned a lot of calories. The weird thing is that the weight has been falling off this week, and I've been more sedentary than ever. I hate how unreliable the scale is. Have fun on your night out....and India...wow! That will be an adventure. Take care!
