I stumbled upon this site when I was looking for Diet/Fitness/Nutrition Information. I watched a video about it and decided to join. I plan to spend some time looking around and want to begin some kind of diet/fitness/weight loss plan this week ... probably the day after Labor Day (2008). I have set/reset my goals here several times - I have had successes and setbacks ... but this site seems to keep me 'on track' ~ even if I 'stray' every now and again. I have actually lost 25 lbs. and as a result, reached my goal - but, slowly, over time I got 'lazy' and gained it all back! I find that as you get older, it is more difficult to lose - so, it is nobody's fault but my own, but this will take some work! 6/1/17 ~ Starting over, once again. This time I'm going to try to follow Keto to try to jump-start the scale to move in the 'right' direction. I'm crossing my fingers and toes!!!

I started here in September, 2008 with a goal to get into shape and lose 24-25 lbs. I've achieved my goal in the past, but didn't pay attention all the time and I need to get back to and re-focus on that first goal (getting there and sticking to it). My main goal is to achieve a healthy lifestyle. Healthy, sensible eating and exercise is exactly what is needed!

In 2010, I found the 5% Challenges. These Challenges, along with some common sense eating/exercising are some of the things that have helped me most on this journey to create a 'healthier' me. It is now the beginning of 2017 and the 5% Challenges are still a part of my SparkLife. I love the Challenges and plan to contine them as long as I'm a SP member. As an additional resource, (and a present to myself), I signed up for SparkCoach and began that feature on 1/1/17.
