My wife calls me "Lemonade Man", from the saying "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade."  I am, and have always been, basically an optimist.  I am now entering a new stage on the SparkDiet, which is LifeStyle Change.  
Winston Churchill is one of history's genuinely great men and master motivators, and I'm using one of his quotes as a motivational touchstone, as a reminder to myself of who I am at heart.  I believe this is going to work, for weight loss, for better health, and for improving my life.  
I now weigh 261 pounds.  The journey continues.
