Introduction Text Once again I am back on Spark to lose some weight. Last time was 50. This time? 101. Yup. Between August 2018 to July 2020 I gained 70 pounds. And it's time to stop and do something about it. Me and my 55 pound lap dog, Link, are on a mission to get me healthy and both of us in shape (he is his perfect weight, despite my father's constant snacks for him). Will there be challenges? Oh hell yes. But it will be worth it.

Eat food, mostly plants, not too much (to quote Michael Pollan). I WILL fit back into that slinky little grey dress that only fits below 155lbs! And I intend to keep it that way. My joints need less stress on them, my body needs to be able to move more easily, and the dog needs me to be more active with his couch-potato self.

This time around I am doing Nutrisystem to get me down to 180 then real food from there. It worked last time and it can work this time as well. Also going to be adding exercise--any exercise--to my routine, even if it be chair calisthenics due to old Rheumatoid Arthritis damage.
