I've had enough!


I had finally had enough of the yo-yo dieting, and was ready to commit to a permanent lifestyle change. I want to be healthy and fit, and try to compensate a bit for the years of lousy nutrition and being a slug!

I know I never would've made it as far as I have, without SparkPeople and the support and encouragement I've gotten here. Plus, the Nutrition Tracker is an absolutely fabulous tool!

    New day, new choices. Progress starts outside the comfort zone and we're more than
    worth it. Great job on maintenance. Much love and lots of hugs.

    Congrats on finishing the Spring 5% Challenge. It’s been a difficult challenge because of all the changes and uncertainties we have been living through. I have always thought I measure success by “Doing the best I can with what I have”. Sometimes it is not perfection, but it’s the best I can do considering all that is going on my life. I hope you have been successful and able to reach your goals during the Challenge. If not, hang in there and join the In-Between Challenge and then the Summer 5% Challenge. Hope you join! We are the Rowdy Rebels & we rock!

    Perseverance is your willpower in action – an internal driving force pushing you to
    get things done. It's built on an inner strength that leans on self-confidence, desire,
    courage, diligence, and faith to stay the course. It’s easy to say "I can do it", but
    those who persevere don’t just say it. They DO it and they LIVE it. ~J. Walker
