Introduction Text Wendy-Stampin off the Pounds Hi! I�m Wendy. Welcome to my Sparkpage. I have been at Sparkpeople now about 9 years. I learned about Sparkpeople from a post in an online rubber stamping group. I�m so thankful that I was curious and came to check it out. In my first year here, I lost 123 pounds. It was an amazing year. I started out a spectator in my life watching it pass by and within a few months of being at Sparkpeople, I was LIVING my life and LOVING it! I learned to love getting outside and exercising. I walked many MANY miles on the back roads of southern Wisconsin. That in itself is amazing. Before Sparkpeople, I was pretty pathetic. I barely moved. Exercise---pssssh! I couldn�t think of a good reason to exercise. Well okay, I bet I would have made an effort if something big and angry was chasing me. Although at 300# and in the worse shape of my life, I�m sure I wouldn�t have gotten too far. After a year at Sparkpeople and nearing my goal, I found out I was pregnant w/ a Sparkbaby. Yes, I honestly believe that if I wouldn�t have lost the weight here, we would not have been blessed with another child. Evan is an amazing little guy and a perfect addition to our family. I did well through my pregnancy, I kept my weight in check and remained active. In 2009, I miscarried 2 babies and I suspected that Evan was autistic. My weight shot up 50# in a 3-4 month period. In 2010, Evan was diagnosed w/ autism. 2/2/15... I have gained and lost the weight a couple times and now I'm back to losing.... My goal is 115 in 2015. From 1/9/15-3/17/16.... 14 months and 8 days, I lost 150#. I have lost half of me. Update 8/2/16: exercising, eating right and keeping the weight off, feeling better than I ever thought I could... Only regret.... waiting so long to get it done.

Lose 115# in 2015 January 1st start weight: 299.4 First goal: -20# Second goal: 267# on March 31st. Fifth goal: Out of the 200's by November 12th.

I'm trying to learn portion control and a more balance diet while staying in my daily calorie range. Eating more things that are green and not M&Ms w/ the green candy coating :) and getting more active through walking and just getting outdoors more.
