Introduction Text Hi, I'm Joanne. I'm 52 years old and trying to lose a ton of weight! I'm a missionary in The Gambia, West Africa and have been for over 20 years. I have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 9 years which definitely makes the weight loss journey a little harder. But not impossible March 17, 2016 I've now lost 100 pounds! Another 100 to go, but I can do this. May 7, 2016 I've lost 110 pounds. November 25, 2016 Down 130 pounds.



Very simple. I just follow the Spark guidelines for calories, carbs, fats and protein. I don't use a menu plan. I eat the things I like but I don't eat them as often. I'm the carb queen! I have really cut back on bread and potatoes, but they aren't forbidden. I just have to choose where I spend the calories.

Currently in Africa. When I'm in the U.S. home is Tennessee unless I'm in western NY where I grew up.



Add a Link Joanne Whether you eat or drink, do all to the glory of God. Ndanka, ndanka terewut nga egga fi nga jem. (Wolof proverb) Slowly slowly doesn't prevent you from arriving at your destination. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome won't stop me.
