Be sure to check out the teams. My teammates have made a difference when I stumbled. They also celebrated my triumphs.

If you have questions about any aspect of the website or the program, post a message in one of our Forums. For example, if you have a question about nutrition, post a message in the Diet and Nutrition Forum. Or a question about exercise, post in the Fitness Forum and so forth.

Feel free to drop by my Spark Page and say hi.

Melissa! Glad you are learning so much here. Tracking is DEFINITELY the most important aspect of losing weight. Looking forward to watching your journey.

Hi Everyone,

I have been using the Nutrition and Fitness trackers on Spark People for some time, but am only now really seeing how many other great features the site has to offer. I love different articles and reports that are available.

I am so glad that I found this site. It has helped me become more realistic about my goals as well as more optimistic. For example, I realized in looking back at my Fitness trackers that I hadn't been pushing myself, but was shocked that I had gained weight. It was interesting to see the correlation between my weight gain and connecting that to when my fitness tracker entries were fewer. I have started using the blog on Spark People as a way of sharing my journey as well as keeping myself accountable. I am excited to see what I can accomplish now that I have a supportive community behind me!

Thanks!
Melissa
