Introduction Text My spark journey... I have been a member of spark people since April 2009 - since then I have managed to lose 25 lbs (my start weight was 167lbs) with the help of lots of exercise and a healthy nutritional intake. I love the spark community and am thankful to all the friends I have made here who have helped me along this journey with their advice, encouragement and motivation. My plan for 2019 is to reduce weight by at least 14lbs- with the help of spark people and my fellow cloverleaf 5% challenge team members. The weight has been creeping up gradually over the past year!!

To lose 5% of current weight over the next 8 weeks To stick to a structured plan. To become more toned.

Walk at least 30 minutes on 6 days per week. Eat more fruit and vegetables - 3-5 portions per day. Eat less chocolate!

I am 49, married and have 2 boys aged 17 and 14. We live in a village in Derbyshire, UK. There is a windmill in our village! We adopted Kiba from the RSPCA 2 years ago - he helps me with my daily exercise! We have been finding more places not too far away to take him on longer walks.

I love reading both paperbacks and my kindle. I enjoy taking part in a reading challenge on Goodreads called Around the Year in 52 books which encourages you to choose a book from a different genre each week. I have been a member of a 'rock choir' for 3 years now - it is a great way to meet and make new friends. Last year we recorded some songs at the famous Abbey road studios in London! In March we took part in a workshop learning the harmonies for Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen which was great fun! I rejoined the national trust last year and have enjoyed visiting historic houses.
