Introduction Text Returning to SparkPeople was one of the best decisions I made in 2012. I hit my goal weight of 120 lbs 12/31/12 and it was the best way to end the year. I maintained my goal weight all of 2013 and to celebrate it I joined the At Goal & Maintaining + Transition to Maintenance team. Motto for 2014: I am an adult! (And will therefore think and act like one, when my inner 3 year old wants to take over!) Motto for 2015: Shut up and do it! I lost my grip on my goal weight and hovered around 130 lbs all year. Motto for 2016: Sometimes, you just have to be an adult about it and do it! Rough year, I left the At Goal & Maintaining + Transition to Maintenance team because I felt like a fraud after almost 2 years of not being near my goal weight. Motto for 2017: Right Now!! (Borrowed from ONEKIDSMOM) Motto for 2018: I am strong. I am invincible. I am woman. -Helen Reddy (I’m done feeling sorry for myself. Despite the chronic pain, I am determined to get back to my fit self.) Motto for 2019: [Didn’t get around to picking one] Motto for 2020:
