Introduction Text Hi Everyone! My name is Jan-Marie. My weight has always been an issue for me. I'm hoping to stay motivated by being actively involved in the Spark community. Knowing that people are willing to support me having never met me before is a really great feeling.

My ultimate goal was originally 145, but I've decided 165 is more realistic, achievable, and maintainable for me. I want to be happy and healthy and feel good about my body and myself. Mini Goals [x] 265 (12/5/11) [x] 259 (12/19/11) [x] 249 (01/17/12) [x] 239 (02/27/12) [x] 229 (04/12/12) [x] 219 (05/22/12) [x] 209 (07/03/12) [x] 199! (08/08/12) [x] 189 (10/25/12) [x] 179 (09/14/13) [x] 175 100 pounds down! (11/21/13) [ ] 169 [ ] 165 (healthy BMI and Goal Weight)

Use the nutrition tracker every day. Do cardio 3-4 times a week. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

I'm 28 years old. I'm 5'8" and started my journey at 274.8 pounds in December 2011. I lost over 100 pounds and was at my lowest in Summer of 2014. I regained about 30 pounds before I became pregnant with my son in August 2016. I gained much more than was necessary during pregnancy, and hit a new high weight of 280 before he was born. So now I'm back to tracking my food and exercising. I've done this before so I can do it again! A healthy weight for me would be from 121-164 but I'm aiming for around 165.
