I had two people tell make comments about my weight in the past couple of days. Luckily one of them could not believe I weigh as much as I do, saying I carried my weight well if I actually do weigh that much. Another person today said they thought I looked like I had lost weight.
As good as receiving those comments was, I still think I could really make use of the SparkPeople website though.
At SparkPeople, our mission is to SPARK millions of PEOPLE to reach their goals and lead healthier lives. We offer nutrition, health, and fitness tools, support, and resources that are 100% free, while other sites like Weight Watchers and eDiets.com charge their members for similar services.
Our weight loss program teaches people to stop dieting and transition to a permanent, healthy lifestyle. Far beyond just weight loss, SparkPeople helps everyone learn to eat better and exercise regularly for life. And people who don’t want to lose weight can still join and benefit from SparkPeople’s tools, resources and community features. In addition to informative articles and interactive tools, such as fitness trackers and meal plans, members can find support and encouragement from our vibrant, positive community of members and experts.
From the looks of the features available on the site the focus is on eating healthy and staying healthy through exercise and physical activity. I’ve always said the key to losing weight is eat less and more healthy and exercise more. The hard part is not “knowing” that, but just “doing” it.
