I am a follower of the Lord Jesus. I believe that sharing the Gospel with non-believers is the duty and mission of every Christian. I was a full-time Christian missionary serving in Zambia until Oct. 28, 2019, when I had to return because of heart failure.. I have not taken care of myself and have allowed myself to get into the obese range.
I used Sparkpeople from June 2011-June 2013 to lose weight and get into shape. Then my husband died in June 2013, and I just didn't care anymore. ...

Lately, I have noticed that not only am I overweight, but I'm having symptoms of heart disease. I rejoined Sparkpeople on Sept. 6th, 2019. On September 17th, 2019, I saw a cardiologist and she has determined that I'm in the beginning stages of heart failure. It's a good thing that I have Sparkpeople to help me get healthy.

    Bless your heart. I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet husband. Please, don't give up. Take good care of you. What part of Texas do you live? I'm up by the Red River. I added you to my friends. I would be honored if you add me. Thank you for your sweet words on my blog. emoticon

    Hi, if you are looking for a challenge group to help you lose weight, the Biggest Loser Challenge group is starting a new challenge (Jan 1st, first WI is Jan 8th) with registration happening right now.
    I am a captain of the Resolute Renegades that focuses on finding what helps you lose weight (there are basics, but we are all a bit different), and accountability (encouraging you to get your weight loss tasks done). We don't spend a lot of time online instead focusing on our weight loss tasks in real life.
    If this team doesn't feel like a fit for you, there are all kinds of teams that focus on support or pushing exercise minute or nutrition or other topics, so you can find a team that fits for you.
    Ask if you have any questions.
    Or go check out the group and register at: https://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/team_m
