Bobby joined spark People in January 2008 after being overweight or obese for years. His wife (Anne) and Bobby both knew it was time to make changes in our life after a series of illnesses to family members, including  Anne.

It has been an incredible journey since day one, with many emotional ups and downs along the way. It is simply amazing how little we truly knew about food and nutrition until we started using the SparkPeople web site. We thank Chris Downie for starting SparkPeople and helping us create our new healthy lifestyle.

Anne joined Spark People in January 2008. Due to serious health issues and being diagnosed with an auto immune disorder Anne along with her husband Bob made a decision to change to a healthier lifestyle. Losing 75 pounds diminished her illness symptoms and changed her outlook on life. She is enjoying her new life doing many things such as biking, strength training, running (including many races) and many other activities she never thought would be possible!

Anne and Bob own and operate Dawsons Cleaning Service.
