Veterans Day honors the men and women who have served their country. It is also a time to shed light on important issues regarding vets, particularly health care.
The UMHS Pulse takes a look at areas of concern for American veterans.
2013 Survey Statistics for Veterans
The 2013 Survey by the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization IAVA, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (http://iava.org/ ), reveals alarming figures. Following are some of the survey's highlights.
The VA Claims Backlog Continues to be a Major Challenge
• 30% of respondents were physically wounded in service: 79% received a disability rating, 77% have a rating of 50% or greater
• 40% have a VA disability claim pending: 74% have been waiting for more than 120 days, 45% have been waiting more than a year
• 36% have appealed a VA claims decision: 40% not satisfied with the outcome of the appeal
Suicide is the Most Important Issue Facing Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans
• 64% have veteran friends who they feel need care: 91% suggested getting care
• 30% thought about taking their own lives: 45% know someone who attempted suicide
• 50% had someone suggest they seek care: 19% did not seek care
• 80% don't think veterans are getting the care they need for mental health injuries
• 93% are aware of the VA's Veterans Crisis Line: 37% would use the line if they were feeling suicidal
Women Veterans are Not Getting the Care They Need
• 62% of female respondents have a neutral/negative view of the VA's care and treatment of Women Veterans: 52% reported no contact from the VA regarding female-centric VA services and benefits
• 41% did not have a positive view of the VA, 20% feel that the VA does not care
• 32% report they don't see doctors that specialize in women's care
Health Issues for Veterans
Good Charity Inc.'s website (http://www.goodcharityfund.org/good-charity-inc/good-charity-inc-important-issues-facing-american-veterans/) lists negative health outcomes as being one of the most crucial things veterans face in 2013, and that one third of the U.S. population is eligible for some form of veteran's benefits.
Mental health is one problem that needs to be addressed.
"Mental illness among military personnel is also a major concern," Good Charity Inc's website says. "In another study of returning soldiers, clinicians identified 20 percent of active and 42 percent of reserve component soldiers as requiring mental health treatment. Drug or alcohol use frequently accompanies mental health problems and was involved in 30 percent of the Army's suicide deaths from 2003 to 2009 and in more than 45 percent of non-fatal suicide attempts from 2005 to 2009."
Drug and alcohol abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are all major concerns.
"Prescription drug abuse doubled among U.S. military personnel from 2002 to 2005 and almost tripled between 2005 and 2008, but alcohol abuse is the most prevalent problem and one which poses a significant health risk," Good Charity Inc. says. "A study of Army soldiers screened 3 to 4 months after returning from deployment to Iraq showed that 27 percent met criteria for alcohol abuse and were at increased risk for related harmful behaviors (e.g., drinking and driving, using illicit drugs)."
PTSD affects 1 in 5 Iraq conflict veterans. PTSD sufferers "account for 20% of all suicides among military veterans."
"PTSD may have been impacting veterans' physical health as well as their mental health," Good Charity says. "Male twin Vietnam veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were more than twice as likely as those without PTSD to develop heart disease during a 13-year period, according to a study supported by the National Institutes of Health."
The Center for Public Integrity reported in an August 28, 2013 article, "Health Care Costs Will Mushroom as Injured Veterans Age" (http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/08/28/13276/health-care-costs-will-mushroom-injured-veterans-age), that improved battlefield medicine is helping more vets survive, but questions whether the Veterans Affairs Department is prepared to handle the costs of health care.
The Center for Public Integrity's article points out the following:
• "No government agency has calculated fully the lifetime cost of health care for the large number of post-9/11 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with life-lasting wounds. But it is certain to be high, with the veterans' higher survival rates, longer tours of duty and multiple injuries, plus the anticipated cost to the VA of reducing the wait times for medical appointments and reaching veterans in rural areas."
• "Medical costs peak decades later," Linda Bilmes, a professor in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University and coauthor of "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict," says in the article.
• "As veterans age, their injuries worsen over time, she said. The same long-term costs seen in previous wars are likely to be repeated to a much larger extent."
• "Post-9/11 veterans in 2012 cost the VA $2.8 billion of its $50.9 billion health budget for all of its annual costs, records show. And that number is expected to increase by $510 million in 2013, according to the VA budget."

Smartphone biosensors
As well as acting as the centralized repository for connected third-party devices the smartphone itself is packed with a range of intelligent sensors that can – and are – being used to help people improve their health. The latest generation of iPhone, the 5s, has seven inbuilt sensors with the most recent two – the fingerprint sensor and the M7 motion coprocessor – being introduced with the iPhone 5s launch. With nine inbuilt sensors the Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone has two more than the iPhone. While not all are specifically designed to be health related, these sensors are being used for health purposes to good effect. Cardiio is an innovative app that measures heart rate without physical contact. Using the iPhone's front camera sensor Cardiio analyzes the light that reflects off a user's face and predicts with an almost perfect degree of accuracy the resting heart rate. Developed by MIT's Media Lab, Cardiio works by analyzing the light that reflects of the user's face. Every time the heart beats, more blood is pumped to the face. This slight increase in blood volume causes more light to be absorbed, and hence less light is reflected from the face. |

It is a concern that while the most recent report indicates that Jhessey's dead body was disposed of in a Glendale, AZ trash can, authorities have not begun to search the landfill to retrieve her body. It is imperative to begin searching now in order that the evidence is found and the case is solved. The Glendale community is at risk with the probability that a murder exists amongst them. And moreover, the remains of Jhessey Shockley should be respected and retrieved for burial according to ethical principles in American society. While according to reports there has been some suspicion as to the involvement of the mother, this has not been determined and therefore, by law all citizens are considered innocent unless found guilty by the court. There have not been any convictions and thus the Shockley family deserves the respect of closure. This involves retrieving the body using the evidence to solve the case and allowing for a respectful burial. As a nurse and citizen I am responsible for patient's rights that follow ethical principals. As law enforcement officials I am certain the same rules apply and that it is your ethical duty to bring justice and closure to this case. If it is true that you are letting valuable evidence deteriorate in a landfill you are not serving the people of your community. Please begin your search for this child. She has rights and it is our ethical duty to see that her rights are protected

Children's Rodeo adds 'moo'est event on Sept. 12
The Children's Rodeo will mark its 28th year with a brand "moo" event on Wednesday, Sept. 12, just before the main Pendleton Round-Up rodeo event. The Children's Rodeo – which provides special needs children an opportunity to be cowboys and cowgirls for a day – will debut a milking cow on a float promoting the event during the Main Street Cowboys' Dress-Up Parade this Saturday.
"We are so excited about our new milking cow," said Children's Rodeo Director Karen Parker, who has been a part of the event for 25 years. "It's been quite a few years since we've added a new activity to the Children's Rodeo, and we're hoping the cow will become as popular as some of the other events, like the bucking bull and horses."
The milking cow doesn't actually moo – she is made out of plywood and has an artificial udder for milking. However, the cow is nearly life-size and liquid will come out of its artificial udder when the children "milk" it.
The Children's Rodeo is sponsored by the Pendleton Round-Up Association and the InterMountain Education Service District, and is an annual event the Wednesday of Round-Up week. Special needs children from around Eastern Oregon are given the opportunity to participate in rodeo-related activities in the famous Round-Up Arena with the help of volunteers, including PRCA and local cowboys. Besides the new cow, activities include riding a horse, riding in a horse-drawn buggy, riding a hand-rocked pretend bull, roping a pretend steer, barrel racing on stick ponies and pulling a ribbon off a goat's tail.
In addition to the hundreds of family members, friends and other supporters who come out to cheer on the Children's Rodeo participants from the stands, elementary schools from the region also attend to support their classmates and friends. The Round-Up Association donates rodeo tickets to the children from these schools so that they may attend both the Children's Rodeo and the Round-Up main event.
"The Round-Up Association has been such an awesome partner and supporter of the Children's Rodeo for 28 years," Parker said. "We really can't thank them enough for what they do for us and these kids."
Each Children's Rodeo participant will receive a t-shirt, cowboy hat, lariat, scarf, trophy and a photo with their cowboy volunteer.
This year's event is on Sept. 12 at approximately 11:30 a.m., right after slack, and ends at around 12:30 p.m. before the rodeo begins.

Harry Connick Jr "In Talks" for American Idol Judging Role
Forgive us if we've become a little obsessed with American Idol of late – but we just can't stop ourselves!
The latest name in the frame for the judging panel on Fox's hit reality singing show is none other than Harry Connick Jr. The crooner is no stranger to Idol, having previously appeared as a performer and as a guest mentor and judge.
While Keith Urban and J-Lo are already confirmed names, the third vacancy has been a matter for much speculation this summer.
Now that Dr Luke has bowed out, apparently due to a conflict of interest with his record label, Connick Jr has to be the favorite for the last judging place.
Here's what the guy himself had to say when he spoke to E! News:
"What I've done so far has been fun, so I've had a great time. It's a fun show – who knows what'll happen in the future."
We'll bring you more news as it happens.

Living in the country, surrounded by green open space and few obvious diversions, I still seem to spend my days in a state of peaceful distraction. I think therefore I digress, it seems. It all appears so mild and favourable out there. Just the thought of what to have for dinner is quite engrossing. I'm expanding the vegetable zones and starting to think about sowing some grain crops in spring.
As a part of my gentle scheme, I was all set to get some geese at the Moreton-in-Marsh agricultural show on Saturday. My friend Paddy has a goose called Christmas. He also has a duck called Crispy. His horse is called Brian - lucky for Brian, I reckon.
I called Paddy and asked him how they were all getting on. He said that geese were certainly nice as long as you feed them every day. If it isn't you who feeds them, they bite you on the bottom when they see you. Geese seem to be very specific about this. That is not the kind of atmosphere I was seeking so I decided to stick with vegetables for the moment.
Back in the kitchen, for our delight, Mona, the German au pair, was working on a sauerkraut. It was her granny's special formula and it was quite involved, although not as involved as her mother's recipe for ceremonial cheese soup, but that doesn't come into this story. A consignment of special cabbage had arrived from Germany, and trips to the supermarket in Stow, the organic wonderland at Daylesford and the butcher's in Chadlington followed, but we were still short of ingredients to the tune of three juniper berries. We had the two kinds of paprika, the allspice, the marbled pork and goodness knows what else, but to get the kraut perfectly sauer, she really wanted those berries, for granny's sake.
I knew there was a juniper bush in the garden somewhere. I'd heard the gardener muttering about it. He holds the whole juniper family in low esteem. I went sauntering in search of juniper. There was a bush I didn't recognise in the vegetable patch with some nice fat berries on it, and I tried one. It was quite bitter, so I didn't swallow it, thinking I'd come back when they were a bit riper.
Then by a cosmic conjunction of serendipity, synchronicity and shopping, I came across the complete guide to British berries in a secondhand bookshop and it has instantly become my bedtime read of choice, ahead of the Screwfix DIY catalogue.
Funnily enough, the book falls open naturally at a picture of the shrub that I found in the vegetable patch. It said that the unripe fruit I'd nibbled, Atropa belladonna or deadly nightshade, causes more deaths than any other berry. When mature, the berries are sweet, and five are enough to kill a child. I dug it up immediately in a cold sweat. I should have worn gloves. Just from touching it, a couple of hours later my hands started to itch. Daily we dice with death, even in Oxfordshire.
Mona found the berries in the deli in Chipping Norton. Excellent sauerkraut.

Does the clock need to be plugged in at all times? If so, how does it fit into the ikea frame?
Yes. It needs to be plugged in whenever you want it to display the time. It will retain the correct time when unplugged but not display it. The cord comes out the back, so it fits in an IKEA frame.

With Election Day three weeks away, Hollywood continues to remind people of the importance of voting and making one's voice heard. We've seen Rose McGowan, Meryl Streep and various other actresses tell Donald Trump that they're unimpressed with his "locker-room talk" excuse, Joss Whedon did a video with a slew of celebs urging people to vote, and even Robert de Niro stated that he'd like to punch Trump in the face.
Aziz Ansari is now joining that group of celebs with his own video of why he wants you to vote. Shared by the climate change advocacy group NextGen Climate, the "Master of None" creator jokingly says he can't believe he has to tell people to vote.
"I'm here because apparently there's someone watching this video that's on the fence about voting, and they're going to see me telling them to vote and then they're going to be like 'OK, I guess I'll vote,'" he says. "What the f**k do you need!?"
Asking, how many famous people do you need to convince yourself to vote, he exclaims, "There's a f**king guy running that says he hates brown people. That's not enough? He doesn't believe in climate change! Do you realize how dumb you have to be to not believe in climate change at this point?"
The video is part of NextGen Climate's #WHYWEVOTE campaign, set to encourage and energize millennials to vote. Per Entertainment Weekly, the ad is set to run in the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Nevada on digital platforms ahead of Election Day, November 8.

If you have a regular-high arch, your feet underpronate, which means your ankles either don't roll inwards or don't roll inwards enoughwhen you run. Normally this movement would help to absorb shock every time your feet strike the ground and, sincethis doesn't happen, you should choose a neutral shoe that encourages your feet to roll in more naturally.

Yes the homicide rate in the United States is substantially higher. But only because of the first amendment freedom of speech. If some people would just shut and not piss everyone off they would not be getting shot!Yes however civilisation has progressed over 300+ years, most civilisations anyway.
Does my country have any say in disarming your country? I can make my opinion known just as you can, thatÂs freedom for you. The difference is that in your country I do not get a vote.
So your idea of freedom is to limit the type of weapon to those who you think should be allowed to carry them  fine How about the guy down the road with the semi automatic over the fire in his lounge and the shotgun on display in the back window of his suv who likes to drink until heÂs falling over drunk every Friday night, does he not get a say in this?
You also seem to be in favour of Âcompulsory screening to see if one is fit to carry a firearm, where is the freedom in that? Double standards or what?
Try looking up the definition of amendment FYI CHANGE. ItÂs down to the will of the people as to whether the majority of guns are removed from the public. It can never be all guns, there will always be some few (even in the UK) who consider unregistered guns to be a turn on (or big them up to their gang) but that goes into the realms of obsession and you cant legislate against that.
The manner in which America's crime rate compared to other countries of similar wealth and development depends on the nature of the crime used in the comparison.[30] Overall crime statistic comparisons are difficult to conduct, as the definition of crimes significant enough to be published in annual reports varies across countries. Thus an agency in a foreign country may include crimes in its annual reports which the United States omits.
Some countries such as Canada, however, have similar definitions of what constitutes a violent crime, and nearly all countries had the same definition of the characteristics that constitutes a homicide. Overall the total crime rate of the United States is similar to that of other highly developed countries. Some types of reported property crime in the U.S. survey as lower than in Germany or Canada, yet the homicide rate in the United States is substantially higher.

I joined May 8th but am new to this team. I completed the 28 day-10 minute challenge so far. I am also considering the 28 day Bootcamp challenge, if I can get my courage up and follow through on the commitment. MaryAnn MaryAnn

Hello all. I joined in May but haven't taken to time (for myself) to review this site and get serious about my goals. I want to lose 35 lbs by December so when I go see my sister in CT she won't see me like this!! Too, I miss the me that was happier and healthier.
Just 5 pounds at a time..
Hi This is my first time on SP. I am Kathy, 59, live in Florida. I am married. I have two boys (men), 4 grandchildren, 4 step children and 4 step grandchildren.
I was originally an Iowa farm girl. A great place to grow up. Lived in Houston and New Jersey. I see several of you live in Iowa so we have something in common. I lived near Oakland about 25 minutes east of Council Bluffs. Still have several cousins in the home area. I am a yoyo with the weight. I lose - I gain it back. It is difficult for me, because I was very thin until 33; then, I gained a few pounds every year. Now I understand to stop - I have to change my ways. This month I at least maintained with 1 pound lost and 1 pound gain, but I didn't go over my starting point. I wear a step counter and I am listing my food. I started a e-commerce business selling nursery furniture. www.princesbabycrib.com . This keeps me busy, but also sitting too much in front of the computer. I need to find time to exercise more. We have a fitness room at the Country Club and I try to use it. I have been doing better, but not good enough. I am looking forward to making friends and losing weight for good.
This is my first time on SP. I'm 28 years old. No kids, no husband, and no pets. But I live a very full, active life. Long story short, I started gaining weight when I was about 7 and it went unchecked for years. I had other social and physical problems to deal with first. Once those were resolved, I could focus on the weight. I joined WW in 2007 and lost 40 lbs. I was 30 lbs away from goal. I gained 15 of those pounds back. I always told myself I refuse to go back to 200 lbs and I've kept that promise. But, I have a goal in mind. My brother is getting married to my old college roommate next year (I inadvertently set then up) in Jamaica. I need to be in the best shape of my life. I have roughly 10 months. Honestly, I think I can do it with the right help.
So what's my problem? Eating! I love to eat all the wrong things: pasta, bread, sweets, etc... The only reason I haven't gained all the weight back is because I'm at the Y four to five times a week for more than an hour. I'm in spin class two to three times a week (have my own cleats). I take Pilates, Water Aerobics, Body Pump, and a Stretch class on top of that. What's weird is that I love to workout. I use to hate it but I've found things I love to do. If it hadn't been for my ego (I refuse to let anything completely defeat me) and a love for cycling, I would hate the gym. It's improved my mood, social skills, and energy level. I'm working out way too hard and not losing weight. So, I'm going to take SP more seriously in these coming months. I hope you'll see less of me.

Welcome, welcome!!

"There are no short cuts to any place worth going." 1st mini goal - 199lb (onederland) - buy myself a new book 2nd minigoal - 177 (lowest weight since #2 was born)- iTunes and B&N GCs to myself 3rd minigoal - 160 (lowest weight since married) - spa day ultimate goal - 150 - new wardrobe
I'm 26. I'm from western Kentucky. I've never been hugely overweight, just unhappy with the way I look. I have borderline high cholesterol, and am trying not to follow my dad's path in that area. I'm new to SP, and I love all the information that is packed into one website. Hopefully it'll help me get going and get to where I want to be.
21 lbs to go!
I thought I had already introduced myself, but I probably forgot to hit post. LOL.
I'm 42 *gasp* and have recently packed on some weight (25+lbs) in the past 6 months. Not sure how it got on there as I thought I was "maintainging" well. Guess that doesn't work if you don't record what you eat or track your weight or measurements! Live and learn. -Pants
Welcome Wendy!
The message boards have been my savior! I love them, love to read what others are going through or have on their mind, and it's a great place to come for support for you! SW: 149.2 pounds

HI, my name is Wendy. I'm from Iowa. I lost 42 pounds on WW and am really close to that goal, but have gotten over my comfort weight. I'm mainly doing this to get healthier! I would like to set a good example for my 2 children Tyler almost 7 and Kendra age 2.I can't believe it took me this long to start chatting...guess I thought I didn't need to, but the reality is I need some support. (Pizza binge last night....)
My whole month!!!!!
That's awesome! Doesn't that just lift up your whole day?

Hello again. A wonderful thing happened to me. At a weekend wedding and working out in the hotel exercise room. Feeling fat and out of sorts (I forgot most of my exercise clothes). After I left, a woman struck up a conversation with my husband and told him she wanted to be like me when she was 60--looking fit and strong. Wow--that's not how I felt at all. But I was there--doing what I need to everyday to be centered and healthy.
Hey My name is Annie Im 22 years old, And I have been on spark people before, I lost 50lbs last time but I unfortunately gained that weight back I am here again to start over and I am dedicated to losing the weight and working harder to keep it off and to keep on track for my health and so I can run more with my kids at work!
Hello all! I'm new to this website. I am a mother of 4 birth children, 3 step children and 2 granddaughters and 2 more grandchildren on the way. I work out regularly with my fitness trainer, Chuck Jackson, doing a program called Fitnastics and I love it. I still struggle with a lot as I work split shifts 5 days a week. I also have a child that has to eat Gluten free, which adds to the struggles of feeding 6 people under one roof.
Hello! I'm 34 with three wonderful girls. 13, 11 and 2! I joined this site because I really need to keep track of what I'm eating and hopefully gain some more motivation to exercise regularly again. I was obsessive about exercising before and I want to get back into the swing of things. I only have a few pounds that I would like to see come off, but more than that, I just need to be more physically active again.
Hey everyone,
Well its taken me a week to say 'HI". I'm married, in my 40s with 4 kids. Have always had issues with my weight. Even in my thinner days, I was always told I was overweight and that has stuck with me forever. Easily put on a lot when pregnant, but since the youngest is 13, I really can't claim "baby fat" any longer. I've tried WW, but just am not up to going to meetings again. This past week has been eye opening. I'm really looking for a buddy to join me on this journey.
Hello all.
I'm coming in late to this, sorry about that! I'm HUGE and only recently discovered this fact. Yes, its true. I had NO IDEA I was almost 200 lbs...thought I was doing great. I thought Iwas being careful, thought I didn't need to weigh myself or track what I ate. I thought I was near 180 tops. Yeah, what a lesson this is. Obviously what I think isn't all that accurate or even important. :D
I hope hitting the reply button will put this post in the correct area.
I teach first grade, single, middle aged woman. This past fall I purchased my own home (hurray!) While flitting through Bings search engine I found Sparkpeople. This coming weekend will be my first week with Sparks. Hopefully, I will be able to stick to the regime and get back some of my long forgotten healthy habits. |
I'm sOOOO new to this. Lol. I'm looking to lose that last 20 lbs too for the summer! I got a two-piece that needs a better medium for diplay. LOL
-Jennifer PS: I like ur weight tracker thing-a-ma-jig! Mine's .... a dessert. ha.
What is your diet like?? I was able to shed 7 lbs being completely lazy, but watching my intake. I was floored! I understand what it feels like to lose so much & can't keep it off. It does get harder when what you're doing stops working. I can help!
Hi! My name is Kolby. I am 25 almost 26. I am a "newlywed" of almosst two years along with a stepmother of almost two years. Needless to say, my life has been filled with many challenges and blessings. I have struggled with my weight my whole life and have just kept gaining without caring. Now, I have no energy for the lifestyle that I need to be leading! I am now taking charge of my life and controling the one thing that I can control!
Hey Team! My name is Jennifer & I'm a simple girl of 22 years with a bright personality!!! My goal is to change my eating habits & general lifestyle. I have been on this road for many years now. At last, I am but only 20 lbs shy of my first "big goal", having met small goals to get there. I have found that eating healthier deters me from even LOOKING at fatty, sugary foods anymore. My diet consists of, but not limited to, fresh produce & 100% whole grain, whole milk & occational treats. For fitness, I try to go walking or spend a non-stop hour at the gym & suana. I'm at this alone! I'm open to suggests, support or just common conversation ! Good luck to all!
Hello Team-Mates! My name is Elizabeth, I'm (newly) 28 years old and have been married almost 3 years. I've struggled with my weight almost my entire life. In the last three years I've managed to lose 60 pounds, but it's slowly starting to creep back on. I'm taking this opportunity to stop it right now and take control of my body and my life:)
Hello everyone. I'm 26 years old. I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter. I was lucky enough to have come home from the hospital with her weighing less than when I got pregnant. Needless to say... because I'm here... my metabolism did not continue like it did when I was pregnant. We are thinking about a second child and I want to lose until that happens. When I get pregnant I hope to continue spark for support with a well balanced diet and immediate support after. I used the weight loss as an excuse last time to not exercise and watch calories as much. I told myself "atleast I weigh less than I did." I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!!
Hello! I love the tools on this site, especially the way I can see the fiber, calcium, potassium, folate, etc in addition to the calories, carbs, fat and protein. It is a challenge to get the nutrients your body needs into the calorie range target. The tools help you do that. I think this is an awesome site. I am just starting to learn what is here.
Hi everyone. My name is Tracy. I am 45 and just deciding to take care of myself and put myself first. I want to be healthy and able to keep up with my boys at 7 and 9 years old. Oh to have the energy of a kid! One day at a time is all we need!

Hi, I am Kris. I need to finish up my weight loss and was getting stuck. I think we need constant reminding of what we need to do to maintain and keep our weight healthy and though I was doing really well I need a little boost to get to the end. This site is really great and I am positive this will help me get to my final goal.
I am almost 35 years old. I have been married for almost 10 years and we have 3 beautiful children, 1 boy (almost 8) and 2 girls (almost 5 & 3 1/2).
I wasn't heavy in high school but I thought I was. I only got bigger. My weight hasn't really changed since my littlest was born. I need the motivation to get up off the couch and get active. I work full-time and then come home to care for the kids and I'm just so tired that I can't get it done. I KNOW I would feel better after I did it, I just need to do it. Vicki
Hello Everyone,
My name is Maggie and I joined because I just need some motivation to lose those last 20lbs. Summer is coming and I want to be beach-ready! I love to read, swim, and have a coffee with friends. I like this site because it kind of holds you accountable, if I go over my calorie count or don't exercise, the site shows me! Being a visual person, this is pretty helpful - lets see how long it will work! lol Best of luck to everyone in reaching your goals! -Maggie PS. How do you get a cute weight tracker bar thing-a-ma-gig? Mine is a little plain..
Greetings Sparkers! My name is Holly, I'm 25 and a newly single mother of a beautiful little girl. I'm here to lose 50 pounds in 2010. I've lost about 25 pounds since January but my motivation was all over. I'm not new to SP, it's worked for me in the past but I've never gotten down to my goal weight. I can feel that this time will be different!
Hello all! I found this site looking for a calorie counter and support for the HCG diet I am on. I lost about 70 lbs 08-09 but have gained 40 back. I'm pretty hungry so I am feeling a little frustrated and in need of encouragement! I'm at 176.4 today. I've had a 3 day stall but did not stick to plan this weekend, but then again I still didn't really get to eat much either!
Okay Here we go! I'm Samantha, age 25 and I need to lose about 90 pounds. I joined this site a few months ago, but never got into too much. I'm starting to figure out all the navigating stuff now I think.
Hopefully I can find my groove. Good Luck to everyone! PS-where are you getting these cute weight loss tickers from? :) Just Keep Swimming

Hello sparkers.I'm 60, been struggling with weight, but developing healthy life style habits. And I love all kinds of exercise. a gift, I know . So eating less and enjoying it more. Sitting down and enjoying each bite. So need help with these last 10 pounds. Attitude, mind over matter. I'll be reading and gathering strength from all of you.
I too am trying this program again but I am having issues with motivation. All my life I have had a yo-yo issue with my weight. I am supposed to be between 127- 133. I can seem to only get down to 140 and then pounds slowly creep back on. Usually when I get up to 154 is when I go full force diet and exercise. But when I do that is seems to take all of my time and energy to stay eating healthy and fitting in workouts. I have three kids, 16, 15, and 12 and all are in activities some even two or more. Now I am at 160 and I don't have the want to put that much time and energy into me. I don't want diet and exercise to consume all of my time. I want to be spending that time with my children and my husband. The want to do daily chores has also left me. I don't know if it is the thought that my children will be gone soon and life is to short to spend it cleaning or that I just have put on so much weight and that I don't eat right that I have lost all energy to do what I should be doing.
I have not told anyone that I want to lose weight - my husband would be happy to help but in the past I haven't been able to handle him trying - I generally took it the wrong way and looked it as him being on my case or he just thinks I am fat. I have tried a friend doing it with me but she usually gives up pretty fast because of medical issues - asma and fibromialga.(My spelling is horrible) I have a sister but she is currently pregnant and due in Oct - if I wait that long I am afraid I will be 170. I have one other friend that would be a possibility but she has three small children so her time is limited as to when we could workout and the fact that she has several more pounds to lose than I and I feel bad talking about only 20 lbs that I want to lose. I need to know how to get motivated - I need to learn how to not have the meal planning and workouts not take up all my family time. - I need someone to keep me accountable for what I do. I need to lose 20lbs but I don't know how I am going to do it. Looking for help and advise - anyone? Edited by: DIDITIN2010 at: 5/9/2010 (20:07)
Hi, I'm 37 and the mother of 3, I gained a lot of weight with each of my pregnancies and never lost it all after the first 2 and with the third he's 3 and I don't weigh much less than I did when I delivered him!! My focus for the last couple years has been graduate school, but since I complete that tomorrow I figured I could make my weight loss my new focus, my goal is 25 pounds by the end of June (I'm down a little over 13 already), an additional 10 pounds by the end of July and 50+ when it's all said and done. So far I love the support of this site and really enjoy logging in each day. Good luck to everyone!!
Hi! I'm not actually new to Sparkpeople. I joined 2 years ago and lost 54 pounds in about 8 months. I was doing great until about 6 months ago, when life's challenges kicked in full force, and I fell off the exercise wagon. I tried restarting the spark program a couple of times, but without the motivation of clicking that "sparkpoints" button, it was hard to follow the program. I finally decided to completely start over with a new account and all new goals. I have regained about 15 pounds, and I need to lose about 20 more to fall into the "healthy" BMI zone. Sparkpeople is an incredible program and I know I can reach my goals once again by following it. One step back, two steps forward.
Hi!I am a 32 year old mother of 4 children. I weigh approximately 200lbs. My goal is to lose 50 lbs. I am tired of being tired and really want to get healthy. I weighed 140 lbs up until my father passed away 2 and a half years ago. I am also with a man that loves to cook and loves to eat greasy foods. I am going to try and work at my goal slowly but surely. I am looking forward to getting to know you all as we all journey together on our road to success:)
Hello All,
My name is Susan. Today is my 7th day on Spark and I have had a couple of days where I exceeded my cals, but for the most part have done well and am proud. I am 40 years old. I have been athletic most of my life, but have fought a weight problem my entire adult life. For many years I was winning the battle and was at my fittest. Due to a car accident and subsequent lumbar back fusion surgery I've regained 50 lbs. Determined to get it off and keep it off. Feel free to add me/buddy, etc for moral support. I think it's key to being successful. |
Hi My name is Mary and heard about sparkpeople this past Wed. from a friend at church. This site is awesome but am just learning how to navigate it. Am an 8 1/2 year breast cancer survivor and believe it or not I gained weight during treatment and am now diabetic and have high blood pressure. I am GOING TO lose weight to lengthen my life. I look forward to "speaking" with so many people.
Happy Mother's Day. Mary |
Glad to be here! Need support!
I am 51 and need to lose 100 pounds. I quit smoking 3 1/2 years ago and replaced that addiction with food. I told myself I could lose weight but not cancer. Well, I haven't lost any weight but have gained about 50 pounds to what was an already overweight body. I have been happily married for 15 years. I have 1 grown son, 2 grandsons (12 and 10) I love to read Karen Kingsbury books! I BELIEVE in support. that's exactly what helped me to quit smoking. I work as a Web site support associate for an Industrial supply company. I am GLAD to have found Spark People!
Ok don't laugh... I am Linda and I don't remember if I introduced myself here or not. LOL
I am 58 have type II Diabetes and have been gaining weight since my 27 year old son was born. I have 6 siblings none of which have my weight problems. (I put a picture of them on my Spark Page to prove it!!! I also joined the Diabetic conditions team as I know they will have special knowledge of what I am dealing with. I look forward to my Journey here.
Hi! I'm Michelle! I'm here because I'm on a medication that has added 15 lbs in 3 mos. Unfortunately I will have to remain on the prescription so I will need to work diligently to get and keep the extra weight off. I was doing fairly well with weight loss before my dosage was increased, and now I just have to work that much harder!
I want to lose the weight for health reasons. I'm not as concerned with how I look as I am with my health! I want to be around to watch my wonderful grandson grow up! I need LOTS of accountability (nutrition tracker, etc.) and could sure use lots of "go get 'em"s from my spark buddies! Keep moving! Michelle Spark On!
Michelle Getting Fit and Staying Healthy!
I am almost 22, and I am graduating at the end of next week from college. The last four years have been crazy with school (Biomedical Science major) so that I've slowly put on 15 pounds. I'm teaching starting in August so I have all of this Summer to really do a lot to get back in shape, I just want to stay focused. I also want to stay healthy once I start teaching again. |

Hi my name is Ivy and I am a stay at home mom of three and married to the best man ever. i have joined weight watchers a thousand times and need something new. I need to lose at least 35lbs. I really need to be part of a team for lots of support. I am happy to be part of this team.
Hi I'm Laura and I am 22. I just graduated college and am moving across my state to take a new job. I want to be healthier and feel better.
Hey All! My name is Cammie. I'm 22 and married to an amazing man who cooks REALLY well. We have a one year old little girl and between pregnancy and my husbands wonderful food I packed on 60 lbs since I was 19. I've lost thirty of the sixty and have 30-40 left to go since I was already 10 lbs over my goal. I was the most comfortable at 125 so that is my new goal but 130 would be great too :) Nice to meet all of you and good luck! I'm glad I found a place where I can talk to other people who are working on this issue, because most of my friends are either skinny or don't care. Lots of Love!
Hello All! It's nice to be part of such a large community. I'm 36 and determined to lose 125 lbs. I'm hoping to do it by next August, but I've decided to be patient on this journey. I've lost weight in the past, but I usually get frustrated because it takes too long or I plateau and I end up gaining it back. So - my motto from here on out is slow and steady wins the race. I don't care how long it takes for the scale to go down, as long as it doesn't go back up.

I'm originally from Houston, TX but now live in Pooler (a suburb of Savannah, GA). I'm a married, non-breeder with a dog and a cat. I joined yesterday b/c I'm tired of being fat. Ever since ABC aired Wipeout, being fat has lost all its appeal and glamor. It's no longer fun for me. I guess I'm fickle that way. Look forward to getting to know y'all and grow in our shared experience! Edited by: POOLERPEACH at: 5/8/2010 (15:48)
Hi Yall.
I'm a Cajun girl from south Louisiana, who moved to Mississippi a year ago. My husband and I both in mid 50's love our home here. The both of us have struggled with weight issues all our lives. At my highest 310 in 2003, I had gastric bypass surgery. I lost 155 pounds but then my liver went bad and I almost died. I'm well now, but have regained 55 pounds and it won't stop climbing, as my job and lifestyle is a quiet sedentary one. I've begun a walking schedule and I started a weight-loss support group at my church. It was one of the ladies in my group, who told me of SparkPeople. I've been coming in here for 2 days now and love it. Hopefully with everyone's support I can get off the 55 pounds that I want to shed.....AND, keep 'em off! If anyone would like to personally write me, I would love to become snail mail penpals, but here's my email address to contact me. email@example.com Edited by: RHETTA57 at: 5/8/2010 (17:02)

Hi everyone. I'm Millie. As my 49th birthday appears on the horizon I've committed to myself to become healthier and more active by the time I reach 50. And the most important goal of all is to stay there once it is achieved. This is a great place with lots of good information and motivators.

Hi, my name is Jim. I live in eastern CT. I am very happy I found this site. Its only been a week, but I am feeling good about this site. I want to loose 50 lbs or at least 45. I am also looking to improve in mentality. There seems to be a lot of good people here and a lot of success. Glad to be a part.
Hi, I'm Kelly. I've actually been a member of SparkPeople before and it helped me lose about 35 pounds! Unfortunately, I didn't handle stress very well and gained it all back. I also don't think I used the site for everything it had to offer, so I've decided to start from scratch!
Hello everybody! I'm Hayley and I'm 19. I'm going to be 20 on August 30th, and I want to get a lot of this weight off before then! I used to spend a lot of time hovering in the 160s, but then my life came crashing down on me and I've spent the last few months gaining 30 lbs. So, now I'm 193, obese for the first time in my life, and ready to make a change! I'm a college student who is studying biology and I really want to teach one day. I'll keep this short and sweet, check out my sparkpage if you want to know more, and please feel free to contact me if you want a buddy!

Hey everyone. I'm Cassandra from Kansas. I'm 25 years old and overweight. I'm ready to get high school skinny where I was wearing a size 6 easily. I started working out and tracking my calories about six weeks ago. So far, I have lost 9 pounds and am psyched about my progress. I had no idea about sparkpeople until I stumbled upon it a few days ago. I'm hoping having some people to talk to that are in the same boat will help keep me motivated. I currently am on week 4 of the couch to 5k program and loving it! I also use a stability ball at home for strength exercises as well as workout DVD's to provide different muscle tone.
Goal weight by my 30th birthday!
Hello. My name is Katie and I am a 30 year old from Denver, CO. I have been working the last two months to lose weight. All I did was add vegetables to my daily diet and have lost about 10 pounds so far. But at 290 still I know that isn't enough. So I joined Spark people. One of my friends is on here and has lost 80+ pounds already.
I don't feel as if I have as much support/accountability at home with my boyfriend who thinks bacon and pound of cheese added to everything makes it better. And his daughter who is still not big on vegetables. I am ready for an absolute change in my life and I am really hoping that this is it. I need the accountability this website offers me. And people to help see my through this transition. Welcome to my first goal of getting to 250. Edited by: KERBACHER79 at: 5/7/2010 (23:41)

Hello everyone, I'm Kandy in Pennsylvania. I've been working on eating better and moving more for about a year, and I've started the weight loss (currently ticker shows since September, but I might adjust that to last May when I started), but hit a plateau. Heard about SP and thought to check it out. I'm impressed and hope this will be the extra oomph I need. Time to go have some more water...
Hi. My name is Lorie and I'm from Pennsylvania. I had joined SP back in the summer of 2008, and had lost almost 35 pounds. Then in November of that year, we found out that my husband had Stage 4 lung cancer, which was caused by his exposure to Agent Orange when he was in Vietnam.
He passed away in Feb. of last year, a month before our 27th wedding anniversary. It took me awhile to get myself together enough to focus on myself again. I joined Weight Watchers in March and I've lost over 17 lbs. so far, bur I have a long way to go. I'm hoping that between the support at WW and here I can stay focused.
Hello all! Still getting to know this site and in the midst of setting up goals. I'm a 34 year old woman living in NYC. At 5'4", 202 lbs, I'm looking to definitely get smaller and fitter. My biggest issue is with food (emotional eating) but lately I'm needed just a bit of extra motivation to get up and moving more. I am doing a learn to run program (which I love!) and I walk loads around the city.
I'm trying not to focus so much the stringent nature of *diets* and more on adding healthier foods and habits into my life. Looking for a buddy for that extra motivation! Good luck everyone! Peace, Chica PS: The bigger cat in the picture looks so much like my kitty!
hi my name is Vicki and I am over 57 now. I like to read books and walk and take out the dog. and we go camping when we can.

Hello everyone! I'm Emily - a 31 year old mom to three beautiful girls. My oldest is almost 9, my middle daughter passed away 6 years ago when she was 11 months old, and my "baby" is 3. I was under-weight most of my life but after my daughter passed away I slowly started gaining weight and over the last 6 years have gained just under 50 pounds. I started this journey at 161 pounds and my overall goal is to get down to 130. I look forward to making these life chages with all of you and being able to cheer each other on!

Hi all, I am looking to lose a lot of excess baggage I have before it really catches up to me. I am hoping to lose over a 100 pounds in less than a year because I am a VERY impatient person. I am fully aware of how to eat once the weight is lost, but just feel if I can get it off in 6-8 months than why not? Well, best wishes to you all and talk to you soon.

Hi eveyone. My name is Jenn. I am almost 30 with two sons, ages 6 and almost 3. They are very active children and I hate sitting on the sidelines watching them. I am at my heightest weight ever and am finally ready to do something about it. I am a full time college student and unemployed at the moment. Life has given my family some difficult challenges these past couple years and I have realised that I only have control over one thing, myself. i was always a thicker girl in high school I was a size 12/13 after I moved out at 19 the weight started creeping up and I am finally ready to battle it.
Anything worth doing isn't going to be easy

Hello All. I am Ms. Roby [pronounced Robbie]
I started viewing this site yesterday but did not get through all there was to do. I have created a SP page full of information. I need to lose 50+ pounds to a better healthier me. I could use some support and would like to help support others as well. Hope to meet some of you very soon. Thank you,

Hi, my name is Mandy. I am a nursing student in Texas. Just celebrated my first year anniversary with my husband. We decided it was time to stop talking about making changes in our lives and start acting on them. Being healthy and fit have become top priories in my life now. I am looking forward to my new path learning new tools to change my life.
To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping
"All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight-to-the-finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must possess if we are to face the future as finishers."
I'm Jean. Need to change how I'm living. Tired of achy knees, blood pressure medication and not being able to do the active things my friends are doing. Looking forward to learning a new way!
Hi, my name is Tracy. I'm 37, married, mom to a 7 yr old daughter and 3 yr old son. I have been overweight almost my whole life, tried everything, but since hitting the 300 mark on the dot, decided I cannot go any higher!
I am working on eating clean. My husband is actually doing it with me this time. So maybe this is it! Good luck to all of you and I hope to get to know you better! Tracy 300/277.5/140

Hi, I am Christine. I joined last night and I am slowly learning my way around. I am 47, weigh 174 and would like to lose about 40 pounds. I want to lose weight to feel better, look better, get off my blood pressure medicine, and not have to worry about what my cholesterol or triglyceride levels are. I
started a low carb diet on 3/3/10 and lost 14 lbs. The plan was too restrictive (no fruits, grains, or starchy veggies at all) so I quit. I gained about 3 or 4 of those pounds back and do not want to put back on any more. I am an emotional overeater. I am reading different books to try to learn to gain control over my issues with food. I live alone so it should be easier, but I am tired of eating salads and I hate to have to decide what to eat. Back in 1993, I weighed 193 pounds. March of 2000, I weighed 137 pounds and had neck surgery at that time. Over the next 10 years, I made my way back up to 183. It's time to get back down again. I pray that this is the plan for me. I look forward to making progress alongside each of you and learning much along the way. |
My name is Hofi, I'm from Iceland but currently live in British Columbia, Canada with my husband and 10 year old son. I've always been the heavy girl, but this is my second attempt to rid myself of those pesky extra kilos - currently about 30 of them, although my first goal is 14kg before October 1st. My first attempt, 4 years ago, was very successful (over 30kg in 10 months), but I didn't manage to stick to the program and keep them off - and then had some emotional issues that helped pile them back on. That did tell me, though, that I *can* do this, and am looking forward to fit into my skinny jeans! - and so can I! Edited by: HOFILIUS at: 5/4/2010 (12:02) |

Hi team! My name is Allyn. I joined Spark back in 2006 and went from 370 lbs to 260 lbs.
Over the last year and half I've fallen off the band wagon and really need to get back to my ultimate goal of 150 lbs. I have about 100 lbs to go and I'm ready to do it! I hope to be in "one-derland" by end of this year!
Who's with me???
Hi, everyone. I need help and it looks like I've stumbled upon a goldmine here with all of you. I've got 50 pounds to lose for about the 50th time, but I'm determined to make this one stick. I have a crippling form of arthritis and the Drs tell me I'll be in a wheelchair in 10 years unless I get things together now. Talk about a wake up call! Today is day 1 of a better life for me!

Hi I'm Connie. I am a wife, mother, grandma, diabetic and recently diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. I am to young (52) to feel this old. I am finding it more difficult to do the things that I once did with out effort. I get short of breath easily. I need to make changes in my lifestyle now not tomorrow. I would like to lose 50lbs and I am hoping that this program will help me get there. I actually have a deal with my husband that if I lose the 50lbs he will quit smoking. I am already a walker. I have a 6 month old puppy who I walk 2 times daily. I have read some of the messages on this forum and I wish everyone the strength to succeed in their goals. As they say "One day at a time" right.
Hi, I'm Alicia. I'm 28, married, no kids, 2 cats. I started at 247, my heaviest weight ever! I have more of a full bio on my sparkpage if anyone's interested. I'm looking to eventually get down to 150. My goal timeframe is next year at this time. My wedding anniversary is May 8 and I'm hoping that this time next year I will have reached my goal weight.
I have a gym set up at home and I've been following the Jillian Michael's Winning by Losing exercise plan. It's hard! My biggest problem is sticking to eating healthy food. I crave sugar and salt allll the time. I'm at around 235 right now and I'm hoping to get to 220 by the end of June. That's my first goal :) "I'm fierce and I'm feeling mighty! I'm a golden girl!

Hi - I'm Dee and my starting weight is 190, my overall goal is 146 there about, but I am shooting for small goals over time, so my first is 180.
I work in the food industry and am on my feet all day long running food, but it doesn't seem to help with weight loss. My program will include walking to get started and than I hope to fix up my bike and start riding for extra exercise, and down the road hope to join a local gym to use their fitness equipment, but mainly their pool. I find I get started quite well but than I'm hard on me. I am in my late 40s, have an adult child and want to be more active for them and my grandchildren. There is a lot of living I still want to do, but I want to do it healthy. |

Hey everyone. My name is Amy. I'm 27 and have a 3 year old little boy. I'm over the 200 lb. mark, which kills me. I have about 70 lbs to lose. I know it's going to be hard. I know I'm going to screw up from time to time. It's all about choices and it's about time I start making the right ones.
Hey all. I have a LOT of weight to lose. I am taking the bull by the horns on this attempt at a healthier lifestyle and am being completely honest with where I'm at. I'm not one to be vulnerable and face hard facts and truths, but I'm hoping this was the missing factor in my previous attempts. I wish you all much luck on your own personal journeys to a healthier you. :-)
Hi, I am Karen. I am 32 and I have a 4 year old daughter. I would like to lose the last 10 lbs. A few yrs ago I got pretty close to goal then gained it back over the past year. Now I need to stick to something. I go on strict diets, do well then binge and gain it all back. I am here to take a new approach with food. Treats in moderation. I am also cutting out processed food and trying to eat more veggies. I already cut soda and white flour a while ago. I am looking forward to chating with all of you!

Hey, I'm Melissa, I joined Spark People to lose the weight I've gained over the last 5 years and 3 babies. I'm heading back to the size I was as a teenager, which I maintained well until I got married/pregnant. I have never really given weight loss a serious effort, because...as it happened, every time I was ready I got pregnant again! LOL! So here I am, not pregnant or nursing for the first time in almost 6 years and I'm READY to become a healthier version of me.
Hey guys! Brand new and ready to roll!

CedarCraft is now on 1.11
As a slightly early Christmas present for you all we have updated the server to full 1.11!
This means you can now enjoy all the new content of 1.10 and 1.11 over the holidays and to aid with this we've also expanded the boarder in the overworld from 6000 x 6000 to 8000 x 8000 so you can find the new structures in our world.
The end has also been reset so a fresh set of end forts are there for the plundering!
As with any update things can take a while to stabilize so please report any issues you have through this forum post and our Admin team will look into them as soon as possible.
Happy Holidays!

Photographed on the morning of the October wildfires with smoky sunlight to create a different color palette to the water.
The curl is distorted due to a backwash effect that occurs near the shore where the preceding wave reflects back onto the next oncoming wave.
This was edited from the previous submission with a tighter crop and some burning and dodging.

BEIRUT -- Negotiations over the future of Syria are not taking place in Geneva. They're taking place on the battlefields of Idlib and Aleppo. And it's not the opposition that's winning: it's the Assad regime, backed by Russia. This victory will have grave consequences for the U.S. and Europe-led security infrastructure in the Middle East and beyond.
BEIRUT -- In Syria, Putin is trying to force the issue of Russia's place in the world today, to burst free from the post-war situation in which Russia found itself trapped. It is a gamble, because the gesture itself -- if successful -- will shape the Middle East and global geopolitics much more widely.
