Introduction Text A NEW SPARK--EDITED May 3, 2020. Hi, I'm Jen, (or Jeanette) from Charlotte, NC. I joined Sparks in June 2008 and have enjoyed the journey BUT IT'S TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING--12 YEARS AND LOTS OF CHANGES LATER. And now it's MAY 3, 2020-- Spring of 2020 . I have lost about 50 lbs. since I first joined Sparks, and that makes me very happy. So, I'll continue my current programs of eating and exercise. I DO have a few physical issues developed since last challenge, BUT same old me. It's the beginning of May 2020 and I'm ready to be all I can be and I'm convinced that the SPARK TEAMS are the way to get there. I NEED this team and so do you--THIS PROGRAM has given me the tools I need to lose about 50 lbs so far and I still have a few to go....so WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO HIT MY GOALS. AUG. 2018--several issues have developed recently so I will need to slow down a lot. Will cut back but never give up on Sparks. My new mantra is NEV ER QUIT even when the going gets rough, and the road gets bumpy---When I find a good 'thing' I will hang in there until I reach my goal. However long that takes. I AM DETERMINED TO DO WELL. So-(-I have succeeded in losing all of the weight I want to lose.) and will continue to exercise for health. I AM WOMAN-- AND--I will win this course of life.

Have 1daughters in her 50s (oldest DD went to Heaven this past summer, after suffering with cancer for 10 years, she quietly closed her eyes in hospice and entered God's presence), and 1 son in his 50's. Grands are 37 , 33, 30, 22 and 9 , plus 3 new great grands 6, 4 and 1 I am Loving life but wanting to see 'less of me' in my body. Have lost 90 lbs as of 2/6/19, now at 165, and hope to be down to 155 soon.

My favorite book would be the Bible since I read it daily. It is my strength in times of weakness. Read my comments on 'LIFE FOR TODAY" feature on Facebook.
