Re-Write Of I Am So Honored
Posted on 8/27/2022 by pmbach1

I was not able to edit so here is the re-write:

It was an honor to chosen to appear in the First For Women magazine. It all started when I was active on Spark People. Occasionally we would get an email asking if we wanted to be interviewed. Certain criteria had to be met. I answered one. The writer Lisa responded. I got very excited and told my friends. It didn't happen. Lisa must have held onto my information for three years because in April of this year she contacted me again. Things happened very quickly! May 5th I had professional hair and make up and a photo shoot. Picture standing on one leg and smiling on command for three hours. I think I will keep my day job. When Spark People closed I joined My Fitness Pal and now they keep me accountable. Even though I am in maintenance I do the 5% challenges for the same reason, accountability. If this article can help people I am happy about that!

Here's some before and after pics:




The AFTER that was in the magazine:

Congratulations Pam! You're amazing and an inspiration to many.
Many of us Sparkers are here. I still track the recipes from Sparkpeople here on myfitnesspal.
BTW you look amazing!

@pmbach1 I showed this to my boyfriend and he thinks you look great. That's not what he actually said, but what he said was both more flattering and less repeatable.
