I have a co-worker who bought a bunch of PC products from me in December to use with his Advocare products. He is the person that I got the Spark from to send to everyone. I hope it gives you energy to get going

Sort of, I am not going to meetings, however, I am counting points. I have found that I don't want to eat it if I have to write it down and the points actually is an easy way to see how much you need to eat. I don't like to count calories . . . this is much easier.

I thought counting points I would get really frustrated ........ but I am finding that it is making my life a lot easier in the end. People tell me that I will get frustrated...I probably will.... But I generally get frustrated within the first week and want to give up..... but reaching my goal is very much worth it...... Did you get into my blog?

I find it easy to count points too. I find that even when I don't totally count, I still eat properly because you know how many points they are worth.

I did get into your blog, some of the pictures didn't want to come up . . . I think it is something with my connection. I want to go back later. Thanks for sharing.

My DH thought that I was really anal about things three weeks ago.. then he started to notice the weight loss...... and he said what ever makes you happy...... :) The only time that I get really frustrated is when I can't determine how many points something is worth............ then I just look for something comparable to it .

Sometimes the photo's don't like to load right away....... if you have a slower connection or cookies on your computer.
 
Leah that is so awsome about your weight loss. I am finally starting to go down again. My SIL says the point system gets easier. She can basically looki at something and know how many points it is. Kepp up the good work

I pay by the month rather than by the week which is a lot cheaper..... But I thought I would get really frustrated with keeping track of points but I am doing really good. it's a mental thing though, once you start tracking points. You start thinking in weight watchers points.
 
Way to go Leah!
You are almost 1/2 way to your goal!!!!
Keep up the great work . . . it takes alot of hard work and dedication to do that well so quickly.

Well My results last week were not as I thought they would be... I thought I actually gained weight. I lost 1.5 so that brings me down to 187.6 and a total of 12.8 lbs lost in five weeks.
 
I know this is a old thread but was interested to know if you are still taking SPARK?
