The Spark

So, I have done the P90X thing and found it too "X"treme for me. I have gained back everything I lost and probably a little bit more. I don't want to look back 10 years from now and wish I was at this weight because I've continued to gain 5 pounds slowly every year. So, I am telling people about my goals and I need support and encouragement along the way.

I have found a website called http://www.sparkpeople.com/
It gave me a weight loss goal and time frame to do it in (30 lbs by 10/10/10)

My other "fast break" goals are:
Drink (8) 8oz of water a day
Stretch for 10 minutes a day
Give myself a 5 minute mental pep-talk every day

These were choices I made out of a number of choices given. I just chose what sounded the best for me.

My calorie intake needs to be 1280-1630 a day
I need to exercise 90 minutes a week
And burn 650 calories per week

I would LOVE for anyone looking to lose weight to join me so we can support each other and keep one another accountable and motivated! I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS BY MYSELF!!!

Check out the website and check out this article I just found. I really liked it and thought I'd share:
