Where did all this weight come from?
HI! Welcome to my page.
Getting ready for the Winter Challenge to start! I am not a snow person anymore....I enjoy looking at it but I do not enjoy being out in it - especially driving. Unfortunately I need to work for a living so I need to drive it in periodically! You will hear me complain about it until March (just so you know and can be prepared).

HI! Welcome to my page.
Getting ready for the Winter Challenge to start! I am not a snow person anymore....I enjoy looking at it but I do not enjoy being out in it - especially driving. Unfortunately I need to work for a living so I need to drive it in periodically! You will hear me complain about it until March (just so you know and can be prepared).
I belong to two awesome groups here on SprarksPeople. One is the Biggest Loser Challenge where I am the Weight Loss Leader for the Pink Flamingos. The other is the 5% Weight Loss Challenge and I am a Spirited Under Dawg.
My Pink Flamingo challenge starts December 3rd and will run for 10 weeks. The Spirited Under Dawg challenge just ended but will be starting up again in a few weeks and that runs for 8 weeks.
I love both of these challenges, groups and people. Being part of a group makes weight loss so much easier.
My boyfriend (Herb) had knee surgery on July 1, 2019 - hopefully this will be the last one, he started rehabbing in November. He goes twice a weeks. Keep your fingers crossed and say all the prayers you can! This has been a long stressful process for both of us.
I have been with sparkspeople for a long time but have had some set backs and I was on and off the wagon many times. Starting in January 2017 I have stayed with it and have not given up.
I re-learned how to exercise, eat right and most importantly stay in contact with my groups for support. Although my eating habits have a tendency to get out of hand (especially when I am stressed) - I try hard every day to make the right decisions (some days I fail but most days I succeed) - I love to eat and I have a big sweet tooth!
I am so thankful for all my friends here on SparksPeople - they are so motivational and help me stay on track. And are always there to get me back on track after a stressful day.
I have also found it very helpful to blog and I do not get blogs posted as often as I would like but when I get them posted I love to hear the feedback from everyone. Take a look some of my blogs and leave me a message!!
The beginning of 2018 I was 230 lbs and the end of 2018 I was 220 lbs. Which is a 10 lb loss for the year which is awesome but over the last 9 months I have gained 19 lbs. I am currently at 239 lbs - not happy about it, but I'm moving forward.
I am actually happy in my body. I do not look in the mirror and cringe, but I know 239 is not a healthy weight for me. I am still working hard and dealing with stress the best I can and I know I will reach my goals.
My motto is: Never Give Up!

My Goals:
My short term goals is to be under 235 lbs by December 31, 2019.
My Program:
Eating right, exercising 6 days a week (with cardio and strength training), and taking time for me. I found yoga in 2018 and love it. I do that at least once a week, I do Refit and that is super fun! I do my exercise videos from youtube and just added Walking Away The Pounds. I want to add jumping rope to my workout also.
Personal Information:
I am from Scranton, PA. I am engaged, 48 years old and live with one dog, one kitten, one fiancee and one step-daughter.
Other Information:
I enjoy reading and watching TV - two very stationary activities. I am working on being more active with youtube videos and working around the house on many much needed projects. I hope Herb is able to walk soon and we will be able to do a lot more outside activities!

I'm doing the weight-gain-struggle as the weather chills here too.
Praise be, no snow for us! What a wonderful life, to be able to complain about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter!!
Jan 4th is coming - so we are going to really move our paws next year!!
Huggers & Love,
