Introduction Text Hello all...I am a mom of 4 wonderful boys. I am married to a wonderful man that has been awesome to me and my boys. I work as a part time merchandiser which works well with my families schedule as it is flexible hours. We host exchange students and wish we could do it on more of a full time basis. I have been overweight since I was 8 years old. I think I have tried just about every "diet" out there to lose weight. I have no health problems to speak of yet and want to keep it that way. My mom died of cancer 5 years ago and that really changed my life and I wanted to become healthy as possible. I did really well for a long time and lost 70 pounds, but then went through a life changing event and gained almost all it is back. Then December 2011, I decided it was time to get back on track! I joined weight watchers online and really enjoyed it but was still missing the support of being in a group so I decided to look around again for a weight loss group. I found a PRISM group and decided it was a good fit and have been doing that since May 2012. To date I have lost 71 pounds! I have more to go but I know I am on the right path.I have finally found another TOPS group that I am enjoying being a part of! For me I know my success has always been linked to cutting out white sugars and white flours and being around others that are trying to lose weight. I love being on Sparks and am enjoying being on the PINK PANTHERS team! I am looking forward to finishing this year strong!

My goal is to be healthy! I want to eat foods that are good for my body and not ones that will tear my body down! I have learned that I am unable to eat white flours or white sugars so I am choosing to stay away from these things as much as possible I want to be in a good exercise routine that becomes as natural as waking up in the morning. I am making my goal to lose 5% at a time: starting weight 250 5%-238-met goal 5/31/12 5%-225- met goal 7/25/12 5%-212- met goal 11/2012 5%-199- met goal 3/2013 5%-187 - 5%-175

My Commitments: ~ Eating healthy-making the healthiest choice possible.. ~ Exercise at least 3 days a week (to start) ~ I am going to eat between 1300-1500 calories a day ~ I am going to work on drinking more water (start with 6 glasses a day)

I am in St. Helens, Oregon. Mother to 4 wonderful boys. Married to my best friend! I am a stay at home mom but I have found a part time flexible job that enable me to still be there for my kids!

I love to do crafts.....crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, quilting. I love to read! I write poetry and do some drawing.
