Strong and healthy


60 years old this year and determined to be fit, strong and drop a few pounds so that I can be active and healthy. That was two years ago and I have gained! I am back and determined. I lost a brother this year due to heart attack and he was 49. My younger sister was just diagnosed with diabetes, I am determined to drop some weight.

Fast forward three years and Im still at it. Healthier and determined to stay fit.

So I have to update this, I still struggle ...
60 years old this year and determined to be fit, strong and drop a few pounds so that I can be active and healthy. That was two years ago and I have gained! I am back and determined. I lost a brother this year due to heart attack and he was 49. My younger sister was just diagnosed with diabetes, I am determined to drop some weight.

Fast forward three years and Im still at it. Healthier and determined to stay fit.

So I have to update this, I still struggle with weight, still try daily and overall very happy with SP. Great community of supportive people.

Update fast forward and i am now 64 and 25 pounds heavier than I was when I originally wrote and more frustrated at my own failure to win the battle of obesity. Not only did I gain what I lost but I gained more. So I started again this November and I am determined and I am leaning on my Spark Friends. Trying to build a network of friends, something I never did so i am adding contacts. Hopefully more support will work for me and hold me accountable. I am being totally honest about my weight which was a big start.

    Thanks. I live an hour West of Peoria. I miss my dad everyday. I know that I can lose the weight.

    Looking for a Fun Challenge this Summer? Want to get connected with a Team to support you through your Journey to a Healthier Lifestyle. If yes, then consider joining the BL Challenge that starts early June. Each week 11 teams of 24 Active, do fun nutritional and fitness challenges. The challenges promote a healthy lifestyle and If for some reason you cannot do a challenge then they are modified to meet your needs. Often we do the challenge in a game form, we have BINGO and TIC TAC TOE or seasonally themed. For Spring we had Gardening Time, Help Fill Peter Rabbit’s Basket and Bingo. If you decide this might be for you you can leave your name on the waitlist for the Summer challenge. To get to the Challenge go to my page and click on the “BLUE BIGGEST LOSER” Icon, or copy and paste the link below, or let me know and I can send you an invite. Join the Team then sign up on the waitlist. It’s the thread right below the Chit Chat.

    Defy that (negative) voice hat says “I can’t” or “I’m too inexperienced” or “I’m useless”. This voice lies to you in an attempt to convince you that the ability to change s beyond you, when … you ARE capable of banishing this voice … Zach Comm

    When failure is not an option, any walls you hit are a mere challenge that needs a solution. And when you keep looking, there is always, always a solution. Allison Maslan

    If you get really clear about what your dream is and put reminders all around, you will recognize it when it shows up! Ruth Anne Wood
