| I was paying to be on a weight loss website and the site kept going down. Another member privately emailed me to suggest we join SparkPeople so we wouldn't lose touch. She never did but I joined and it was in Jan '06 and I recently hit my 40 lb loss mark!

SHELITE asks: "How do you get the little weight tracker so many of you have on the bottom of your posts?"
Ans: Click on the tab "My home" then click on the upper left menu item "email preferences", scroll down to the bottom, click on the icon "Edit my message board profile" scrol down to the bottom and choose your weight ticker format. (Note: you have to have a spark plan with a starting weight and a final weight goal for this to work)

Someone on a quit smoking site - quitnow.com - posted about it. I needed to lose some weight and this has been the perfect tool for me.
PS How do you get the little weight tracker so many of you have on the bottom of your posts?

Welcome! A first day member and already posting! You will be a real winner here! It took me two to three months before I started to post.

I found this website today on a Google search for calorie counters. I had joined the biggest loser Club and was paying $20 a month for a support site that had a lot fewer features than Spark. I plan on sending an email to my mother and my daughter about this site. I can see how it is motivating in not only meal planning and nutritional and exercise information, but the people are pretty nice too!!
|
|
|
|
I was surfing through a website sponsored by my work and found info on losing weight on a dashboard. I thought, 'what the heck'. I wanted to join weight watchers again, but who can afford that?? So far I'm loving every minute of this site!! 
|
|

I found Spark through Google also, but I was only looking for a calorie counter that I could use while I was at work. Everytime I visited the page that day, I read a little more of the blurbs and signed up that very day.
I really believe the Lord was leading me to this site. I dreaded starting another "diet" but my clothes and my budget (as in no buying more clothes!!!!) dictated that I do something. I still looked at it as a temporary fix, but after being on Spark for almost three months, I am beginning to see the light and know that I am in it for the long haul.
This time I want to change my attitude toward food, exercise and all that goes with it. I have been having a hard 2-3 weeks. I was actually doing too well, so now I have to figure out why I want to sabotage my hard work. Deep down I know I fear success more than failure. I've lost weight before, so I know I can do that part, but what happens if I really change my life? I don't have the answer to that one yet, but it is my next step in this process.
I really appreciate all the help and support that I have received from SparkPeople.

Dennis, I also followed the link to Sparkpeople through the article on my MSN home page news.
I joined on January 6, 2006.

|
|
| I heard about it on a Yahoo group message board either was a Curves or Weight Wathcher's board where someone mentioned it and I came and joined right up...It's been over a month now and I am so glad I found this great site!!

Hi Dennis
I just stumbled acrossed it looking for low-carb recipes. I had been to the south beach site, and several others looking around but definitely wasn't about to sign up for a "pay for it" site.
We were going to the gym regularly and getting great nutritional advice, I just hated writing all my food on in a little book. So, whenever I found a program that would help me track food, I was delighted. I started in the middle of February.

| I am interested in how my fellow sarkies found out about this wonderful site? I found out about sparkpeople in January, 2006 - there was an article and a link to sparkpeople on my MSN home page news. It never occured to me that there were health programs on the internet - DAH!
