I joined SparkPeople 18 months ago with the hopes of losing 9 lbs. I ended up losing 20 lbs and finding a whole new me. A me I never knew existed. A me that loves to exercise, especially running; a me who loves to eat healthy; a me who loves to celebrate the life God has given me. I developed an entirely new, HEALTHY lifestyle and I absolutely love it.
Here on Spark I have found the inspiration, encouragement, motivation and friendship to continue on my journey to a healthy, fit, happy life.
And it is a journey, full of ups and downs, good days & bad days, but forever moving forward. I will never go back to the way I led my life before. This is MY life and I am going to LIVE and enjoy it.

Congratulations on completing the Winter into Spring 5% Challenge.

The emoticon had an awesome challenge. During the 8 weeks we exercised a total of 105,734 minutes which is the equivalent of exercising a total of 73 continuous days. Our team averaged 63. 65 minutes of exercise daily for 8 weeks.
emoticon

As a team we lost 99.60 pounds...that a whole person, in fact it's sorta like losing Nastia Luikin (she weighs 99 lbs according to her Olympic page)
emoticon

We also had a lot of success with those LTGL challenges...

We couldn't have done this without you! emoticon for all you've done for the Daisies in the Winter into Spring Challenge!

Wow, so hard to believe it's almost the end of the challenge! We had an AWESOME week last week; we landed 2nd, as a team we had the most exercise minutes of any week in this challenge and we lost weight!! I can't think of a better way to end the challenge!

Good luck with the weigh in this week and thanks for all you've done to make the Daisies determined to be successful!
