I'm a little slow on reading all the posts - you'll have to forgive the belated "way to go"!
It's wonderful to see what I've been thinking about Spark put into words.
Congratulations, Trixie 3333!

I have to agree with everyone else so far. I feel as though you read my mind, too. I've done other diets, spent money on such things, and yet, here I am with weight to lose again. But this time it's a learning process, not just a "diet."
Way to go, Trixie! Learning how to make smart choices has been the key for me, too, and I will only have myself to blame if I ever quit making those decisions.

What makes SparkPeople the best diet program in the world?
Well that's easy ... it's not a diet. It's an entire lifestyle that will help you live a long healthy life. Learning how to eat properly and to introduce a fitness regime into your life is the first step. The next step is keeping you motivated each and every day so you can achieve all of your goals.
I've done other programs and lost weight and then gained back more weight and the whole time I was on those programs I felt deprived or like I was missing out on something. On the SparkPeople program I never feel hungry and I'm able to go out with friends, eat at restaurants and make great meals at home. I've learned how to make better choices and now those choices are becoming second nature so I don't even have to think about what is the good choice.
When I joined SparkPeople.com just over 100 days ago I was overweight, unhappy, unfocused, out of shape and feeling lost. Today I am quite a few pounds lighter, happy, very focused, working on getting in shape and I know where I am and where I want to be. It's amazing that by learning how to control my food portions and taking control of my physical activity that I am now able to take control in all aspects of my life. I'm back at work and I'm physically able to do the work and then come home and exercise too. I'm sleeping better. I'm feeling better. I'm looking better. And my confidence is higher than it's ever been.
I'm one third of the way to my BIG goal weight wise and I know reaching my goal is definitely going to happen and I'm looking forward to setting new goals for myself once I reach that one. It's the new me ... the new and improved me ... and to think that a FREE site on the internet is what helped me to change my life is almost unbelievable. I tell everyone I see about Spark, I've emailed bulletin boards, I've notified all the national and local media about the program and I'll continue to spread the Spark Fever because I think its important for everyone to get healthy.
I used to think that if I could just lose the weight that would be good enough. Now I know that unless I do the work and learn how to live a healthy life it doesn't matter how much weight I lose because the key to a happy life is to lead a healthy life.
Thank you Spark for giving me back my life.
