Introduction Text I'm a 34-year-old working mom of two girls who was a SparkPeople success story a decade ago. In my eclectic on-again off-again relationship with SP, I had lost 38 pounds at one point and was in the best shape of my life. A lot has changed since then, resulting in weight-gain. But, if there's one thing that SP has taught me, it's that not all things are lost. I'm back to show all my fellow Kings and Queens of Excuses that the only person in the way of your goal(s) is YOU. Have faith in you and take that first step (even if you have to take it again and again!). -- Height: 5'6" The WAY Beginning (May 2008): Weight = 172.5 BMI = 27.8 (overweight) SparkPeople Starting Point (March 2009): Weight = 160 lb BMI = 25.9 (overweight) Waist = 30" Gut = 37" Hips = 42.5" R Thigh = 25.5" L Thigh = 25" Lowest (January 2010): Weight = 134.4 lb BMI = 21.7 (healthy) Waist = 26" Hips = 37" R Thigh = 21" L Thigh = 20.75" What Brought Me Back (February 2020): Weight = 177.2 Measurements forthcoming!
