AgnesPeggy says "Free Weight Loss Resource with Benefits" about Sparkpeople.com

AgnesPeggy — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:31:25 GMT

I found SparkPeople.com through an email offer. I needed help being motivated to lose weight. This website has everything a person needs to succeed. Menues, recipes, FRIENDS, support teams, exercise tracking and articles about any subject you can think of that you want to research about your situation.

I have been a member for 5 weeks now. It takes a while to see everything. Teams are an excellent way to start. They even sign you up for a couple when you join. Once you interact with a couple of other members, you will find that you are not alone in your desire to succeed. One tool I found helpful was the recipe section. I take a recipe and type in all the ingredients - the site gives me nutritional information including calories for one serving.

Exercising is my nemisis. Having to record how much I exercise each day gets me to do it. It is not someone else telling me to do anything. It is self help support.

I recommend this site to anyone who is struggling with weight...

I actually found this website while using mypoints.com. I signed up and haven't looked back since. This is probably one of the best free weight loss websites out there! I have been using it for a little over a month and have already lost 7 lbs. It is a great online support group also...everyone I've talked to on here is great and very helpful! I would recommend this site to everyone that is looking to just get healthy! This site has excellent information about just about everything. Also has great ideas for recipies and also for exercises. They videos are also another great feature that I enjoy on this website. I love that the community of people are so willing to help you with questions in any way. I love that I can find just about any information I need on this website and also be able to count my calories and track my mileage. I love being able to track my success and to point out when I don't succeed so that I may work harder.

tiagayepfa says "Best Healthy Lifestyle/Weight-Loss Site EVER!" about Sparkpeople.com

tiagayepfa — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 04:40:25 GMT

Using Sparkpeople has helped me go from size 12/14 to size 4/6 in about 7 months. The community is awesome, as I started my journey without any friends doing it with me, and no trainer. Sparkpeople provided the community support I needed, along with positive feedback as I accomplished any small goal! The trackers are incredible and I love the points system! I have nothing bad to say about it, except where has it been all my life!!!

This is a free website community that has everything one would be interested in for living a healthy lifestyle, whether you are already healthy or are looking to make a change to get more healthy. There are mesage boards, groups, games, calorie trackers, meal plans, recipes, health blogs and articles, daily journal for you to write in, exercise videos and exercise tips, and much more. This is a great place to get advice and network with people with similar interests. You can even find exercise partners in your city and find out about acitvities in your area. I highly recommend this site. It is nicely organized and easy to navigate. You earn virtual points by logging on and tracking your exercise, diet, and personal goals. You can redeem these points for virtual prizes, such as a "new wardrobe" or a "trophy."

With the help of SparkPeople.com I have lost 21 pounds. I am learning how to chose a healthy lifestyle. The food and fitness trackers are wonderful tools that help you learn how to manage your portions and get more fitness in your day.

The support you recieve from not only the wonderful articles there are to read throughout the site, but from the people themselves is a very inspiring and motivating tool as well. There are some very wonderful people there going through the very same things as you, whether it's loosing weight, trying to become more healthy and active or going through family trials and errors. There is someone there who can help you and support you. Give good advice or just listen.

I love SparkPeople and I am so grateful for finding that site. I would recommend it to everyone.

bigskygurl says "Sparkpeople WORKS!" about Sparkpeople.com

bigskygurl — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:57:42 GMT

After trying many different diets and failing I was starting to get a little discouraged. Then, a couple years ago, when searching online for a new diet to try (right after New Year's, of course) I happened to read a great review about Sparkpeople.com. At first, I was a little skeptical about something that was supposedly so great, and worked so well, but at the same time was free? I knew people who had done well on weight watchers, but this sounded like a similar program, and was free! So, I decided I'd give it a try. Turns out, that was the best new year's resolution ever! The site is great. It is packed with food plans, a tracking system so you can track what you eat and how much you exercise, and tons of recipies and exercise videos you watch right on your computer. It is great for anyone whos just starting out or just needs to lose that last 10 lbs. Another great thing about the website is the community. You can create a personal page, and connect with other members,...

pixielove78 — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:56:31 GMT

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....

TnETorres2002 says "So easy to use!! And a great tool to have!" about Sparkpeople.com

TnETorres2002 — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:46:29 GMT

Okay, so can we say free?????? Okay, FREE!!!! This website is Free people!! I would highly recommend this website to anyone who is trying to lose weight or even just manage their weight. I started keeping a food journal a little over 3 1/2 months ago, and about 2 months ago, my friend told me about this website. It's phenomenal, oh yeah, and it's free! LOL I have been able to keep a food journal without having a thousand pieces of paper doing it! It's got a lot of food in it's record, and is super easy to add something that you can't find. Oh yea, and it also tracks your exercise. I like that it enables you to keep track of your incoming and outgoing calories, and even tells you what is lacking or what you need to change. It's made my life so much easier and has helped me to actually lose weight. I would highly recommend anyone with a little extra time on their hands to utilize this in their weight loss or management goals. It's a super awesome website, oh yeah,...

biller70 says "Sparkpeople.com is completely free and amazing." about Sparkpeople.com

biller70 — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:58:01 GMT

I came across this sparkpeople.com through an email from MyPoints.com. I was skeptical at first because it was supposed to be free, and we all know how rare that is, especially on-line. But I decided to check it out anyway. It is absolutely free!!! They offer meal plans using normal food, exercise plans for all fitness levels, information about health and working out, as well as blogs from users, teams for support, and motivational articles. I have been completely excited. I feel much better since I started following my meal plan. I was exercising before but this is great. The meal plans are catered to your specific needs and count the calories, carbs, fats, and protein for you. You can even enter your own recipes and have the website count the nutritional information for you. I am excited and look forward to losing the extra weight I carry. It sounds too good to be true, but it is real!!!!

Sparkpeople.com is an awesome site. It really helps to see in writing the calories and fat grams you put in your body. This site totally helped me to change my eating habits. We all know that diets don't work. I don't have to "diet". I still eat the foods I love. Now I know the combinations of food to eat to help me lose and keep the weight off.

jl2005 says "Free Online site helps with accountability while losing weight." about Sparkpeople.com

jl2005 — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:06:12 GMT

Sparkpeople.com is one of my favorite websites. I have shared it with family and friends because I have found it so useful. I have lost over 30lbs (with more than 60 to go) in the past 6 months using this website as a helping tool. Sparkpeople.com allows users to keep track of weightloss, inches loss, calories, exercise, water intake, and more. The website provides articles for on healthy habits, healthy weightloss tips, exercise programs, healthy eating, and more. I found this website to be motivating because I had a record of my success and as well as my problems. I was able to track my progress without paying 10.00 a week or more for someone else to weigh me and tell me whether I lost or gained. I have done weight watchers so I know the drill. The great part of Sparkpeople.com is you log in from anywhere as long as you have internet access. There is no driving to meetings or rearranging your schedule, it works on your time; around your life. The website is simple and easy to navigate;...
