SparkPeople.com is launching the "2007 Fast-Break Plan" -- all the tools needed to set and achieve healthy weight- loss goals. SparkPeople members can quickly find features such as a calorie tracker, meal planner, nutrition guide, customized fitness plan, and more.
Visit http://www.sparkpeople.com/newyear for the 2007 SparkPeople Fast-Break sign-up page. Registration is free, as are all the features on the site. All the information on the site is created by certified dieticians and fitness instructors.
"SparkPeople is a great solution for New Year's resolutions because our program combines a medically-accepted diet and fitness program with a goal- setting and motivation program that helps people stick to their goals," says Chris Downie, who founded SparkPeople to help others change their lives after achieving financial independence when he sold his first internet company to eBay. "More than one million people currently visit SparkPeople websites each month, and word is spreading fast that SparkPeople is the best way to lose weight."
Community makes a difference What can really make a big difference in achieving a weight-loss goal is the support received from others. SparkPeople.com has a vibrant on-line community of members who support each other through the good times -- and the bad.
No other weight-loss site offers the breadth of community features offered by SparkPeople. SparkPeople members can participate in member-to-member emails, message boards, and even build their own personal SparkPages for blog posts and pictures to profile their healthier lifestyle. Another popular community feature is SparkTeams, where members with common goals work together to lose weight and provide mutual support.
"You cannot underestimate the value of peer support in any weight-loss program, it's really the key to success," says Downie. "At SparkPeople.com, people can share their successes with others, and inspire them to reach their personal weight-loss goals."

The whole wheat flour makes for a dense muffin, which I like. You only need to eat one! If you want a lighter muffin try using whole wheat pastry flour, which is more finely ground and available in the bulk bins at larger grocery stores.
