| | Week of 09/21/2017 - Featured Blog Post Here's How I Lost 100 Pounds I am so lucky that 7 years ago I found SparkPeople. I feel this site literally saved my life! Six months before I joined, I was told by a doctor that if I didn't do something fast I was going to have a heart attack or be a diabetic and live a short life. I tried to change my diet to no avail and felt hopeless, but my husband's health care shocked me into getting serious. Funny how it took seeing that happen to him to get me to looking online for something, anything to inspire me to change and lose weight. Regardless of all the hardships, I kept up with my exercise, which has mainly been walking, strength training and chair exercise. I have enjoyed many SparkPeople exercise videos along the way, other exercise videos on YouTube, riding my bike, and Wii exercise programs. You don't have to join a gym, run marathons or exercise hours in a day. I want to thank all my dear SparkFriends that have given me endless support. Who knew I would make friends with complete strangers, from all over the world, who are interested in me and want to help me? I look forward to logging in everyday to see how everyone is doing and to get to know them better. We are on a journey together to meet our goals and get healthy and thanks to Spark People and Chris Downie, I have been able to do that. I feel better, my cholesterol and blood pressure are down, I have lost 60 inches, going from a size 28 to a 16 in pants and size 4x to 1x in tops. My husband told me I have encouraged him to change his eating habits and he has lost 80 pounds so far. We still have a bit more weight to lose and will never give up. I'm a slow loser, but I've done it and the weight has stayed off. I still have 35 pounds to lose, but I know I can do it. Here's to a bright future!
