I want to lose weight differently this time because I am a newlywed and a grandma. I have such a wonderful life and I want to be able to enjoy it to the fullest. I want to become healthy and fit once and for all and stop this back and forth nonsense. I want to wake up with a burst of energy and not still tired, full of aches and pains. I want to be a good influence on my children and my grandchildren in hopes that they will avoid some of the health issues I have had to deal with. It took me 40 years to find the man I was meant to be with for the rest of my life and I want that to be a LONG time.

I lost 60 lbs with SP online. Got ill and careless & gained 35 back. I'm now working on removing them online and even more.

I don't want to be the fat mom at all the school functions anymore. I want to get healthy for me and my family, FOR GOOD!

Angelina 4-08-2011 @ 4:23PM

FYI... April 15 is a Friday... so not sure if the comment has to be in by Thursday or Friday!

Anyway, I've never dieted but I would like to lose a lot of weight so I'd love to see what actually works and what doesn't work so I don't fail a bunch of times and waste time doing it.

I like spark people and would love to read the book! thanks!

I want to lose wait differently because I'll be turning 44 this April and I'm tired of being sick and tired all the time. I have a 10 year old and a 12 year old and I never can participate in the fun things they want to do like roller skating, hiking, amusement parks etc. I want to enjoy the remainder of the time we have together while they are young so they will have found memories of a fun mommy and not one that has to sit on the sidelines and watch life pass her by.

Jessica 4-08-2011 @ 5:30PM

I want to lose weight differently this time because I want to lose weight the HEALTHY way! I'm tired of yo-yo dieting and the thousands of ways you can "Lose 10 pounds in a week".

I want to lose weight because I have 4 kids that depend on me to be healthy. I haven't been under 200 pounds very often in my adult life and having 4 kids in 5 years wrecked havoc on my body. I was very athletic as a teenager but never under 170 and it wasn't until Sparkpeople did I realize that I had a major eating disorder and there was even a name for it. I used to starve myself and workout really hard and then binge eat like food was going out of season. After reading many articles about eating right properly and exercising properly, I realized that I needed to focus on one thing at a time and that was eating in my calorie range and with the use of Sparkpeople I am able to do that without the stress of what I am eating. As long as I stay within my calorie range, then I lose weight no matter what I eat and I have lost weight and I am doing it the right way with Sparkpeople. Amazingly I am also eating more properly and balanced.

I want to lose weight that stays lost. That would be different.

tailschris 4-08-2011 @ 7:12PM

I so heard this is a great book and might be just what I need to hang on. I have lost 30 lbs but it has taken FOREVER! Would like to add a little more speed to my weightloss.

Ruth 4-08-2011 @ 8:52PM

I need something different because frankly nothing I've done seems to be working! If I lose 5 lbs I gain back 6. The only thing that even sort of worked was I got pregnant, developed horrible morning sickness and lost 47lbs, then gained them all back again. I do not recommend ever trying that either. the lingering effects from the pregnancy combined with the rapid weight loss was horrible (I now am at risk for osteoporosis, my teeth are wrecked, and I am finally getting my iron levels back to where they should be).

I want to lose weight differently because I want to have a life, not wish I could do what that guy, or that other person could do. I'm tired of being tired because I'm lazy and unfit. I'm tired of making the same New Year's Resolution year-after-year-after-year. I'm tired of the same. I'm tired of thinking, "you can't" when I know, with a little hard work, I can. I'm tired of this life of thinking of losing weight and never actually DOING it.
Differently means not just losing weight, but making it a habit to be healthy, because it's nice to be able to run, jump, play when I want, where I want, how I want.

I've been a member of Spark people for about 6 months now. I've lost 41 lbs but have now lost my motivation. I hoping this book will help me gain the drive I need to make the changes to last a lifetime! I want to lose weight differently this time so that its a lifestyle change, not a fad.

Janice 4-20-2011 @ 6:09PM

This is the time for change for me. I have been working on my "SELF" and have hit may plato and can not seem to get over the hump. I work very hard by eating right and exercising 5 times a week 30 - 60 minutes. I mix up my workout from cardio, strength, walking and running. I believe this book will give me tips and suggestions that will take me to the next level. Thank you for your consideration.

dsikorak1 4-09-2011 @ 10:16AM

Why do I want to lose weight differently? I have lost weight time and time again. My problem is that it always gets lonely and comes back home, usually bringing friends! It is time to do it right for once and live a healthy life so I can grow old with my husband!

SomerSuccess 4-09-2011 @ 11:16AM

The Spark has "sparked" my new heathy eating habits.

Losing weight is a pleasure with the online support and wonderful advice.

Reading "The Spark" would complete my journey.
