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 2020 is to be more realistic and reduce weight by at least 7lbs- with the help of spark people and my fellow cloverleaf 5% challenge team members. The weight has been creeping up gradually over the past few years!!

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 50, married and have 2 boys aged 18 and 15. We live in a village in Derbyshire, UK. There is a windmill in our village! We adopted Kiba from the RSPCA 4 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 4 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 November we took part in a workshop learning the harmonies for some songs in The Lion King which was great fun! I rejoined the national trust last year and have enjoyed visiting historic houses.
