Introduction Text I am a stay at home mom of 4 children and my desire is to lose this weight for good and stay healthy! I live in Costa Rica where my husband and I are missionaries.

I want to reach a healthy weight for my body and maintain that health for the rest of my life! In my WATP 4 mile super challenge there is a 72 year old man doing exactly what everyone else is doing, at the same rate! Everytime I do this DVD I say to myself, "that will be me!!" I refuse to lose this weight and get healthy just to go back to where I was before. I plan to use what I learn from Spark and continue it for a lifetime!

I am staying within my calorie intake for the day. 1200-1550 calories. I am doing 3 days of strength training and 5 days of cardio. My favorite cardio is WALK AWAY THE POUNDS by Leslie Sansone...she rocks! I do the 4 mile super challenge, 3 mile advanced walk, and 3 mile power walk, switching them out. I also take 3 mile walks with my husband at least 3 days a week.

I lived in Nashville, Tn. for 11 years until March of 2006. My family then moved to Jinotega, Nicaragua to help prepare us for living in Costa Rica. I have been living in Costa Rica with my husband (who I have been married to for the last 18 years) and four children since Oct. 2006. My children are Jeremiah (11), Rachel (9), Levi (7), and Hannah (6). I homeschool and have since my oldest was in Kindergarten.
