Hi and welcome to Spark People!

If you haven't already, you might want to check out our teams section. 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!

Hey there CFRITZFIFP,

Welcome to Sparkpeople! I wish you all the best on your fit-journey, and I hope that you will keep making little steps as much as you can. I find that it might take longer, but the little steps are permanent, and SP helps you keep track of them incredibly well.

There are so many teams to choose from, so it's easy to grab a buddy and set up a team goal. I can even partner up with you on something online if you like!

BTW, have you read the Getting Started Guide?

www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/get_started.as

p

Now don't sleep on it - nows the time to set up those first goals, even if it's just logging in everyday and spinning the wheel....

Let me know by private mail if I can help, and see you soon!

Never consider giving up, and OFFERING support may be the best way to get the support you need!!

Loveydub

Baked Chicken with Garlic and Sun Dried Tomatoes (Chef Meg's Makeover)

Chef Meg Galvin is working with SparkRecipes to make our favorite recipes even tastier and healthier.

She took this member-submitted recipe and made a few changes to add flavor without fat and calories. She creates a pan sauce using Wondra, a superfine flour, and white wine, which is used to deglaze the pan and scrape up all the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan. Full Recipe
