Introduction Text I have re-gained my SPARK and now more than ever, I am determined to reclaim my waistline, my wardrobe and my energy levels. Effective IMMEDIATELY, I am putting my nutrition and fitness back at the tip-top of my priority list and am being a stickler about how I use the precious 24-hours that GOD blesses me with each day. I may not be "on SPARK" as much as I have been in the past, but I will regularly log on to gain motivation by surfing the pages of my SP friends and keeping my trackers updated. If you're on FaceBook, "friend me" I'm Deondra OntothenextOne Wardelle (let me know you're a SPARKer when you send your request), or you can "follow me" on Twitter at D710Dance! Finally, I am also determined to hit EVERY single one of my goals (personally and professionally). To quote JAY-Z, "y'all should be afraid of what I'm gonna do next...I'm ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!!" I L-O-V-E you SPARK Family!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Climb high, climb far; my goal the sky (240 lbs.), my aim, the stars (230 lbs.)! Hello SP Family, my name is Deondra and I have been in this battle against the bulge since age 5. My heaviest weight was December 1998, I weighed 407 lbs; however, it is over ten years later and I'm still in the battle. No matter what, I am determined to hit my goals, win the Weight War and keep movin'...you know the rest... ♫SINGING♫ I'm ON TO THE NEXT ONE!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My New Motto~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I NOW EAT FOR NUTRITION NOT FOR ENTERTAINMENT!!!" by Deondra W. a/k/a D710DANCE :) 9/6/10 ~ MODERATION is MY FRIEND!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *OH YES, I'M DONE BEING THE FAT GIRL!!!* My #1 Mission is to make the necessary lifestyle changes so that I can be healthy, fit and a total DIVA!!! Thanks to WCHAR02 for sharing this poem/affirmation on her blog. It's just what the doctor ordered to further motivate me to stay on track as I work to achieve my final goals. "Our deepest fear is NOT that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that IS within US. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." ~Marianne Williamson *******Keepin' I.T. Real~We In Charge Challenge******* 10/29/08 ~ UNTIL This is a personal accountability challenge with my Buddy LASVEGASLES. We're gonna keep I.T. (intake and takeout a/k/a output) real UNTIL we hit our final goals and BEYOND!!! Oh yea, "WE IN CHARGE!!!"

My REAL goal is to maintain this positive lifestyle change; motivate those who I love to lead a life full of healthy habits; to be tone and fit and LOOK as if I weigh 175 lbs. My FANTASY goal is to retire from Corporate America and become a back-up dancer for Janet Jackson!

To get back on track, I am getting BACK TO BASICS, which means exercising five days a week with a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio a day. My "cardio of choice" includes: Water Aerobics, Spinning, Zumba and of course Core Rhythms. I am also strength training at least two times a week. In terms of managing my meal plans, I'm reminding myself of my #1 rule..."Food is for nourishment, not for comfort or entertainment!" ~D710DANCE
