Introduction Text I joined SP one year ago on my birthday, July 19th. I weighed 240lbs, my knees ached, my back hurt, I was hypertensive, and could hardly walk up a flight of stairs without being out of breath. I finally got fed up and decided I would not live like that. I started with SP and one year later on my birthday I am 57lbs lighter. I don't have aches and pains, I am no longer hypertensive, I have the endurance to play with my 7 year old and exercise. I recently started spinning and I love it!! I can do an hour class and feel accomplished not exhausted. I am so glad that I found SP. I have not been active on the sight in a long while. But, I decided that I will make time for me and for my continued journey. I will continue to strive to reach my goal weight and a healthy BMI. I look foward to sharing my experience with all my Spark Friends!!

In short my goals are to lose weight once and for all, become healthier and more active, and to make my whole familys life style more healthy in general. Goal 1-230lbs=mani/pedi (met 8/19) Goal 2-220lbs=lingere (met 9/26) Goal 3-210lbs=new shoes (met 10/31..208.6!) Goal 4-200lbs=new outfit(met 12/11) Goal 5-190lbs=salsa lessons (met 3/19/09) Goal 6-180lbs=VACATION!

I am tracking my meals( a huge help and what an eye opener :-0!!) I am also making sure that I research healthy recipes that are simple to make and meet my nutritional needs. I also have the support on my family which is of the utmost importance. I also make a conscious decision to get active at least 20 minutes a day.
