Spark your weight loss

A spark person, changing my lifestyle to lose weight, addicted to spark points

MAY

2007

Sparkspeople.com is the best on-line weight loss community available, in my opinion. This weight loss site is practical, fun, full of resources, and it is user-friendly. — How the Spark Began — The idea behind Sparkspeople came from one man's dream to lose weight and take control over his life. He took the challenge on step at a time...literally. He started with just 10 minutes of walking every day. He took pride in being able to check that off of his to-do list everyday. He branched out from there and changed his lifestyle by sparking one area at a time, taking baby steps towards… read full review »

I've lost twenty pounds, and they're still coming off!

changing my lifestyle to lose weight, a strong believer in being well informed, married, addicted to spark points

AUG

2007

I am now totally addicted. SparkPeople is one of the best weight loss sites I've ever seen! The interface is completely intuitive; you enter your personal information, and the site immediately helps generate a diet and exercise program suited to you. You can follow their menu plans or put in your own, using the huge library of foods and their nutritional information already available on the site. The tracker adds up your calories, fat, and protein amounts, creating graphs and charts to help show you how you're doing and what to do next! The fitness programs,… read full review »

FEB

2008

I started out skeptical about whether an online weight loss program could actually be free, but I went to the website and was moved to tears to hear that there really was someone out there who invested his own money into providing a comprehensive program absolutely free. — I joined in November of 2007, after having lost 75 pounds on Weight Watchers (another program that I really enjoyed). I have not lost more weight since that point (I've got about 50 pounds more to lose) but I have come to accept that my body is currently adjusting to the tremendous weight loss I've accomplished. So,… read full review »

SparkPeople is a great resource for anyone who is changing their eating lifestyle.

a very helpful community with one goal, to help you be healthy.

NOV

2007

I joined Spark People through the MyPoints program, and viewed it as easy points, plus something to help me with my diet. What I found was a great community with the goal of helping me be the healthiest I can be. — Every day in my email I get at least three emails from Spark People. If you think that's overkill, the nice feature is you decide what emails you want from them. You get points for every email you read, plus they include articles you can click to read through, polls to take, recipes, exercises, and profiles of members. — The points system… read full review »

I sat up one night feeling down and depressed back on January 07. I had just lost my baby girl at 16 wks pregnant and of course we were devastated and I just didnt care about myself any more even though I still had 2 angels who needed me. — I was up at about 2am on January 8th 2007 and while trying to find a way to get help free I came across SPARKSPEOPLE.COM. I believ in the Lord and I believe he led me to this site on that morning. I am now 40lb lighter, I look at myself in the mirror now and don't hate myself I love me and I just look at the areas I need to work harder on but… read full review »

The best site for losing weight and getting healthy.

APR

2008

I have been a yo yo dieter forever. I joined sparkpeople in Jan.2008. It is so full of information and great teams of people. I have lost 23 pounds and started walking. The people there are inspirational. Some of them have lost over 100 pounds and the best part is, it is totally free. I am in the 55+female team but there are teams for almost every age and interest. We have challenges, play games and have fun while striving toward a healthy lifestyle change. You can either use their meal plans or enter your own food. The nutrition… read full review »

DEC

I accidentally stumbled upon Sparkpeople and I am so glad that I did. I have lost 6 pounds in less than one month without giving it a second thought. The web page is easy to manage and fun to follow. In the process I have found a new community of friends that not only motivate me, but they entertain me on my way to a new body. If you are the type of person that keeps putting off that diet for another day, this is the place for you. It's FREE and it gives you step by step goals that make weight loss simple.… read full review »

SparkPeople is a great way to keep tabs on how much you're eating and exercising. It's been proven that keeping a food diary is one of the top habits of successful weight loss, and after a few days of realizing you're eating more than 3000 calories a day, Spark People gets you motivated to try out some of their fitness tips. They offer exercise and diet plans - and the price is right - free. But they are also easy to use if you are following some other plan - you can still use their food diary and tracking tools. — They also motivate you with "points" and "trophies" that dont… read full review »

NOV

I'm a size 10 but I've been battling weight my whole life. I was a fat baby and a fat kid and since high school I've tried to maintain a healthier weight but it's been a lifelong struggle. If I don't exercise and eat right, I balloon up quickly. The problem is that we frequently eat at good restaurants on the weekends and I'm a sensualist at heart and food and drink is part of that. I'm also getting older and my metabolism, which was never great to begin with, is slowing down even more so I have to be conscious of maintaining some kind of healthy… read full review »

sparkjpeople.com is the most wonderful weight loss site that I have come across. Mostly because it is FREE. It includes everything that the pay per month online programs and I think a lot more and it's all free. First you start an account, then you fill in your personal profile which has several questions like: present weight, goal weight, the amount of time you want to achieve goal, the level you exercise, and such. Then you get a weekly meal planner, recipes for the week plus bunches of recipes you can print out or just browse or add to. It will also provide you will an exercise… read full review »

This is an excellent website if you are serious about losing weight. It allows you to input information on your current weight, how much you do (or don't) exercise, and your weight losss goals, and it gives you a plan to follow. It's so simple and it's free! It is a little time consuming to input all of the information into your food tracker but definitely worth it because it keeps you within your calorie range. If you do it in advance, you can see where your calories are going and make modifications to your day to stay within your range. I like it because it… read full review »
