Sparkpeople.com Review

I have battled my weight since I was 8 years old, and I am 31 now. I have tried and succeeded at many diets, once losing over 100 pounds, once 85....and so on. My highest weight ever was 315 pounds. I am an emotional binger, and I keep letting stress and tragedy get the best of me. But not now, because I have SparkPeople.com! It truly is THE BEST online diet site ever! Oh, and did I mention it is a 100% FREE SITE? That's right, FREE. It really does have EVERYTHING you need for success. You can dictate exactly how many calories and fat, etc that are in your goal range, and it will plan your meals for you, which you can substitute items you don't like, OR you can create your own meal-plans, of simply log your food. The nutrition tool does all the math for you. You can also log your excersizing and water intake. There is a recipe calculator where you can create recipes and cookbooks which you may share with other members. There are literally thousands of recipes! The site is completely interactive. You get a page to network socially and share photos, make friends,etc as well as a BLOG to keep you motivated. It truly is a total package, and it's unbelievable how motivating it is to encourage and be encouraged by other members.There is also an abundance of knowledge in the form of email newsletters and articles on the site. Also the #1 indicator of lasting success dieting is to keep a food journal and holding yourself accountable for what you're putting in your mouth. My starting weight was 270 lbs and at the end of week one, I have lost 12 pounds, without starving, and I am looking forward to the next weeks weigh in! The guy who created this site is deserving of praise, because he is so selfless. He could be making millions be charging people to use this site( and it would be worth the $$$ to join) but he is giving it all away for free, because he wants to help people. He's a stand up guy.
