Hi! I am 43 married with 3 kids. 1 in college now! So after breathing hard to walk up the hill to get to our new/used truck, dying from walking up the stairs to take a shower or visit dad, I decided it was time to do something about it. My sister knew I was going to start trying and she told me about SparkPeople. It has changed my life! I am determined to loose this weight. It is going to be GONE!!! The kids are great support!. The rest of the family has been pretty supportive. When I feel no motivation I come to SP and my teams. SP ROCKS!! Jan. 2013-- I lost 102 lbs and some of it has creeped back on. For the past 2 years I have been running more and the weight keeps creeping on. I am up 4 lbs since Jan. 2012. I can run 14 miles now but my weight is stalled. August 28, 2013- discouraged, not working out, not eating the best. I am weighing in at 264.2. So not in the right direction!!! Starting over- Jan 11, 2016 starting weight 304.6.
