NEVER GIVE UP!

After the loss of my husband and daughter and having to fight to stay alive in 2008 I finally decided I needed to do something for me. I started actively being a part of Sparkpeople in 2011, even though I've been signed up since 2006. Although I was able to find happiness in life after my tragedy I still wasn't completely happy.

After the loss of my husband and daughter and having to fight to stay alive in 2008 I finally decided I needed to do something for me. I started actively being a part of Sparkpeople in 2011, even though I've been signed up since 2006. Although I was able to find happiness in life after my tragedy I still wasn't completely happy.

I finished my Bachelor's degree last April. It was that same week I decided to jump out of my comfort zone and do something I'd never done before. I decided I need a change. New scenery, new environment, new people.

My fiance has been by my side through the last few years and helping me to cope and deal with what I went through. He's been my rock. We had been to Florida several times over the last few years. i remembered how happy I felt each time we were there. So, I decided we were going to move!

After months of planning and finding our dream home we made the cross country move. Next month will mark a year that we have been here and I couldn't be happier. I refound my Spark and since October have lost over 20 pounds, over 30 pounds total since 2010.
-------------

It is a rough time of year for me from November - the end of April. I've found my renewed love for WWE and John Cena. Yes, you could say I've gone from a Disney obsession to a John Cena obsession. Yes, my friends my laugh and make jokes but its helped me through this time of year. Plus I have to admit he's not to bad to look at. :)

And you're complaining about losing 6 pounds in a month?! Ha - teasing you! I totally understand that kind of stress...wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Can't even focus on what's right in front of you when you have all that crap going on in the background! :-( I will stay positive.......it will be a FABULOUS experience this time around!!! So smooth, you will barely know it's taking place! :-)

I'm not a Gecko this round! But, I'm sure I will still see you around the BLC - I'll definitely drop by the Geckos and say hello....actually I think I will go do that right now! :-) (((HUGS)))

Hello gang teammate

I see you lost 48 pounds so far. I've lost 42, but took me almost a year to do it. It's slow for me to lose. I'm older and have had thyroid surgery and a heart condition, so have meds to help me out, but have to be careful with the cardio.
