Hi Spark People,

I have been a member of Spark People couple of years now. But was never serious about my weight problem. ( I should have..but I didn't, I was avoiding to see the truth..) and had not even created a personal profile when I joined back in 2007. But I now have my Spark Page, since September of 2012. Same time I have started real streak doing exercise and eating healthy as much as I can.

On the 5/4/13 I finally met my original goal weight to lose 50 Lbs. Now I set a new goal weight as I still feel needs improvement of reduction of fat from my back and back of arms, and inner thigh. Also need lots of Strength Training for sure.

One of good things happened to me was that I have decided to joined Winter to Spring 5 % challenge back in 1/31/13 and till challenge had over on 4/23/13, I've able to lose 10% of my total body weight. I had a great time with my teammate and the challenge. That puts me to accountable on my weight management. And it did gave me a kind of Jump Starts on my health journey. I am ready to take on another challenge in my life. As to speak, I have signed up on Spring to Summer 5% challenge And I am looking forwards to my new challenge and new me.

On July 6 2013. Spring to Summer 5% challenge has ended. Again I was able to lost my 5% for the challenge. It was tougher then first one, since I enter into my plateau right after the first challenge. But glad the last 3 weeks of challenge that I was able to brake the plateau.

Update of July 16, 2013. I am looking forward to my 3rd 5% challenge of this Summer challenge. and looking forwards to interact with my new teammate and all my spark friends, and become healthy and fit together. Here is my assignment #3 of challenge. We were asked why I want to lose weight and fit. Thanks.. (^!^))

Update of Sep. 7, 2013. My Summer 5% challenge is working so far. I am down another 3 lbs since last week weight in. As of today, I've lost total 63 lbs. since I started my weight loss journey. *\(^o^)/*


1.) What do I want to change?

** I want to change my diet= my fuel= my foods to *plant based whole foods and cut all the junk foods and processed foods out of my sight. So far, I've been doing great on my ETL plan. currently I am on to my last week of 6 weeks diet and I am doing great. Goal to keep up doing this way of eating.

Also, as always I want to change or improve my strength training to the max.

2.) How do I want to look?

** I want to looks lean and have some muscle. I don't want to looks skinny fat woman. You know and we know what that means.. right? ó(^_^;)

3.) How do I want to feel?

** I want to feel healthy, lean and toned. To feel confident with Summer clothes. "Nothing feels or taste better then healthy feels."

4.) What things will I be able to do in the future with a slimmer healthier body?

** I can wake up and feeling refresh in the morning. I can jog like no tomorrow. I will feel turbo charged and my body feels as light as feather and no limitation to do things I want to do
