Hi...my name is Denise and I live with my family in South Jersey. I am happily married to my best bud Jim for 27 years now. I have two children, a daughter, 25 and my son who is 22. I teach fifth grade and work with a great bunch of people...many who are close to my age and also struggling to lose weight. Two years we had a "biggest loser" contest in school and I lost 40 lbs and won the contest....I can attribute most of my success to SparkPeople-having joined in Jan '08. I have met the nicest and most supportive friends here! Unfortunately, I have gained about 20 lbs back. I am hoping to get back on track this year:)

to get back on track and lose at least 10 lbs before summer

I go to jazzercise class 3 times a week and am just trying Jillian Michael's 30 day shed. In between those workouts, I use Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds--that's how I lost the weight originally!



I love to read on the beach in the summer months when I'm not teaching. Therefore my goal is to lose enough weight to be seen in a bathing suit!
