8 year Sparkversary!

Wow. Has it really been 8 years? I guess so.

Overall, I'd like to consider myself a success story. I didn't lose a remarkable amount of weight (about 40 pounts). I didn't lose it quickly (it was about 3 years before I made any progress at all). I did lose it, though, and I've kept it off. There's a lot to be said for persistence. I'm about 2 pounds outside my goal range which is a fairly arbitrary target I admit. I just calculated my BMI and it's 22.2. It seems like a healthy enough number.

Most important: I've met amazing people here on Spark. I've made some true, dear friends (you know who you are).

I love you!
