I am 41 and am the mother of a wonderful 9 year old son. I have always struggled to maintain a reasonable weight (I walk on crutches and getting a lot of cardio exercise is a challenge for me). Nevertheless I was shocked when I realized I had gained 40# in the past several years. It's no wonder my joints were hurting! I decided it was time for a change. SparkPeople has been just what I needed! My husband is doing it with me. The whole family is exercising together and eating healthier. My DH and I are being the healthy role models my son needs, so we can both be around for him for a long, long time.

1. Lose 35# 2. Exercise daily 3. Walk easier

1. I am tracking my food daily 2. Eating smaller portions 3. Trying to exercise daily 4. The biggest one -- I have given up chocolate. I am a complete addict. Just one piece and I'm gone.
