For anyone trying to lose weight, I can't sing the praises of SparkPeople.com loud or clearly enough.
I found this website by 'chance', in answer to prayer, a few days after I asked God to help me with my weight problem. I was surfing the web and saw photos of the latest Biggest Loser contestants. One woman mentioned having used Spark People.com, so I decided to look it up and it has changed, perhaps saved my life!
Spark People is FREE. There are no fees, or costs, hidden or otherwise. You can follow their nutrition program with a daily menu, planned out for you based on your starting weight, goal weight and activity level. If you don't like a food on the menu, you can change it! No more having to look up those calories. The site does it for you, and also lets you know the fat, protein, carb, vitamin and mineral levels you have consumed for the day.
They give you a personal Spark Page where you can blog, post photos, and tell your story. Reading other people's pages will amaze you, when you see how much weight they have lost.
There is a personal fitness program, again, tailored to fit your schedule, your needs. You can make use of the site as much or as little as you want to.
As you progress through the program, you will earn Spark Points, and learn all kinds of motivational techniques, to help you make this a permanant life-style change. You will never say "diet" again.
Then there are the community forums, where you will find thousands of other people all striving for the same goals, to lose weight and become healthy again. Chat with people on just about any clean subject under the sun.
Spark People has a staff of professional nutrition, health and fitness experts on staff who present daily articles on a wealth of different subjects.
You can join Spark teams of fellow members who share your personal interests. Do you like horses, dogs, cats? Riding, sailing, motor-cycle riding? Knitting, sewing? Are you an Oprah fan? Or do love House or Law and Order? There is a Spark team for you.
Do yourself a favor and take a look at www.sparkpeople.com
It might change your life!
