Hi Sparker and .

Congratulations on your new beginning. You'll find so many helpful tools here you'll be amazed. I particularly like the Fitness, Nutrition and Motivational articles and the Fitness Videos that show the proper form to use when executing an exercise. Sometimes still shots and a text description just aren't enough. Explore the site, join a team or two to meet people and develop your support system. Most of all, have fun while you're here.

May your spark journey be a happy and healthy one.
Jackie

Hi there and welcome to SparkPeople! Congratulations on making the decision to live a healthier life!

There are many great resources available on SP; one I recommend using on a daily basis is the Nutrition Tracker. You can ensure you are getting the proper nutrients as well as tracking your caloric intake and this is so important to any weight loss journey.

I also suggest joining a couple of teams. Your team members are there to provide congratulations when you are succeeding and motivation when you are feeling down!

I wish you all the best in achieving your goals and feel free to stop by my page if you ever have any questions or need some support!

I'm nervously excited about joining sparkpeople. It's hard to admit that you need help. Today is the beginning of the healthy phase of my life. My nutritionist/trainer wanted me to join sparkpeople over the weekend. I truly hope that it's a helpful resource and can help me reach my goals of becoming healthy!
