Hi and welcome to Spark People!

If you haven't already, you might want to check out our teams section. There are thousands of teams full of nice, friendly, inspiring and helpful people who would love to have you join them. There are teams for every age group, health issues, favorite TV shows, ethnic groups, hobbies, stress eating, specific exercise groups, and a chance to meet people from all over the world!

And if you’re looking for a team that has friendly people, offers motivation and challenges to help you reach your goals, then you want to check out Spark Power. teams.sparkpeople.com/sparkpower

Feel free to read some of the team’s daily chat sessions to see if it's one you'd like to join, and then get to know the members by posting often so they can get to know you and help you when you need it, and congratulate you when you lose weight.

You've probably already heard of all the other great things this wonderful site has to offer: trackers for your food, water, and exercise, plus tons of recipes, a world of articles on health, exercise, nutrition, motivation...but you can explore the site for yourself and see what you like about it!

Overstressed, getting overweight, and taking the easy road too often by dining out or grabbing a donut off of the table at work. It's time to turn around.

I'm just out of college, working as a full-time volunteer in national service, and recently married. My partner and I are doing this together and are happy to have found SparkPeople to help us empower ourselves to make the changes we need. It's not just about the pudge - it's about the trends I have been on in the last year.
