SparkPeople

[pegkerr]

I have been using SparkPeople for several weeks now, and I am more and more impressed with it every day. It's fun and easy to use, and it gets you really psyched about building a healthier lifestyle for yourself. That's why I like it: its emphasis is not losing weight per se, but cultivating healthier habits that will stay with you for a lifetime. I have learned an awful lot and I'm confident I'm going to reach my goals using this program. There is so much available: message boards, informative e-mails, videos which show you exactly how to do various exercises, a nutritional tracker, which includes a tool which tells you exactly what nutrients are in a serving when you input the various ingredients of a recipe, and more. I just can't get over that it's all free, but apparently the guy who started it made a boatload of money selling a trading company to Ebay, and he decided to make SparkPeople his personal cause.

If you sign up, let me know.

I've been using SparkPeople for a month now, and I love it. I've lost 10 pounds so far, just by following their caloric recommendations and (mostly) the exercise goals. It really is helping to change my lifestyle - my eating habits are weird, have been all my life, but for the first time, I'm making small steps towards reconciling what I like to eat with what I should be eating. I love it.

I really like this site. I've signed up too. Maybe we should start a SparkPoints group. What do you think?

There is a SparkPoints team called LiveJournal losers. I've joined it! And there is a LiveJournal group for people participating in SparkPeople, too: sparkpeopleslj.

Oh excellent. I've joined the groups on both sites. Thanks for passing on the info.

I went ahead and joined :)

I joined too. I was a bit surprised that they made me agree to get a dietician to help me prepare meal plans because I'm diabetic. They're not set up to serve "our kind". ;-) Seriously though, I'm surprised that they haven't planned for that contingency, given how epidemic diabetes is.

Thanks for the link! I'm going to try them and see how it works.
