Introduction Text I am 32 years old and I have fought with my weight since I was 10. I was a steady 135 from junior year in hs until the end of my freshman year in college. That summer I did not have a job for quite a while and packed on the pounds. I went up to 167. It was a real battle after that to lose weight. I tried the protein power (high protein low carbs) diet and was able to lose about 25 lbs, but then went home and gained it all back and them some. Actually I used to have nightmares that I was stuffing my face with desserts. Think my body was trying to tell me I need carbs? Anywho, in December '01 I accepted Christ as my savior and in April '02 I took on the challenge of losing weight once and for all. It as been quite a ride over the last five years. I found my most powerful tool in this battle, and it is definitely a battle, is prayer. Whenever an issue came up that I was really struggling with, like eating at night or wanting to stuff my face with junk food, I would turn to God for help. Five years later I am still in this battle and I fight with this last 10 lbs I am only 5 lbs above my lowest weight. God is good!! To anyone who has just started SP is a great tool. It has helped me tremedously. Leave a comment or sparkmail me if you wanna chat. I can be a wealth of information and would love to help you on your jouney to a new healthy you.

To eat healthy. To firm up To spend more time with God, family, and friends. To love deeply and live life everyday despite any fear that might creep in.

~I eat at timed intervals that are not too long for my body. ~Eat at the high end of my fat range so my body doesn't rebel, but still stay within my calorie range (this is possible. check out my food tracker) ~get in more protein (I need it) ~exercise 5 to 6 days a week alternating between cardio and muscles

I was born and raised in Philly, but at heart wish I was in Wyoming. I spent some time out there and just love it. It is so beautiful. I am a child of God and try to live every day reflecting His love to this world. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am only human afterall. I love to read, watch movies, hang out with friends, and talk about God. He is just so awesome. I don't know what I would do without Him. Weight loss has been a long journey and has caused me to discover much about myself. It has been and continues to be amazing.

I would love to hear from you. April was 5 years since I started my healthier life style and they say when you reach 5 years it stays off. I am clinging to that one. I would love to listen, chat or help in any way I can.
