Nothing feels so good.... as Peace feels.


I started on Spark in September 2011. I had good success for about a year, then I struggled with up/down, up/down. I lost 100# when I was 60, then gained it all back, then lost 100# when I was about 70 - and now have gained it all back. I really want to be healthy, but sweets are like cocaine to me... One bite and I'm off into a pit. God has amazingly kept me healthy despite the abuse I have done to my body.

So here I am in 2021.... older and fatter! restarting every other week,,, having had some success with Ideal Protein, but it was so low fat, that I was miserable all the time.. I just learned about ELAB, OMAD, and plan on having a great year in 2021!

I'm thanking God for His strength, His leading, and His protection through all my ups and downs.

    Hi! So sorry to be so slow at responding but I too am having a hard time keeping up!! LOL All we can do is hang in there. I've come up with a new buddy system that won't start until Jan 1st and it's going to be a few of us-- and there will not be any challenges--- We will make a commitment to exercise EVERY day & to check in EVERY day for a year! And to make it more fun I think we will walk the USA. Each day we will see how many miles we covered as a team and talk about what we saw. One fitness minute will equal 1 mile. It's still a work in progress. Think about if you'd like to join. But make sure you are willing to commit for ONE WHOLE YEAR--- EVERY DAY! Commit to at least 10 min every day (I am hoping we do more but the days we don't want to -we still do 10)

    Thank you for the lovely Spa goodie and encouraging note.
    I do save up and ever so often I manage a massage.
    I've been having PT on a shoulder and prior to that on my back. So was getting
    some special treatment. Almost like a spa visit.
    Fortunately I have a pool so almost every morning I work out in the water, sometimes finish and float there for a bit, just staring up at the blue sky with clouds scattered around.
    Being retired, has finally dawned on me as I have nothing to do unless I choose to.
    I work on my jewelry, with I sell on Etsy.
    Not doing any craft shows. But if I find a small holiday one, might.
    My life once I lost weight and worked out the struggles had more or less fallen into place.
    I know you will continue to reach for your goal. It's there.
    Thank you for being such a wonderful supporting friend.
