Introduction Text Howdy! I'm Barbara, and I've been working since January 1, 2007 to create a healthy life for myself - permanently! I reached maintenance in August 07, but have regained a chunk of weight. I am gonna take that chunk off NOW!.

I want to stay healthy and fit for the rest of my life. I want weight loss that is permanent. I want to feel good about how I look, and be able to accomplish all kinds of physical activities.

I use the Biggest Loser food plan. I track my calories at SP. I work out around 5 days a week. For cardio, I do workout classes (mainly kickboxing, step, & sculpt), or use workout tapes (love turbo jam!), or go contra dancing.

I'm from a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, y'all, but am originally from New York. I've been in a committed relationship since 2000 and we got married in 2017 on our 17th anniversary! Thanks to the universe for marriage equality!

Great Quote from another Sparker: --Motivation isn't a gift from the gods. --Motivation isn't something I feel. --Motivation is a decision about what is most important in my life. --Motivation is a choice. "I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside of us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching to keep working, to keep fighting." - Pres. Obama's Acceptance Speech
