After having a couple of days of not logging in, I realized that rather than looking at logging in SP as a big task or something that requires a lot of time/effort just treat it like maybe your Facebook or email. When you check your emails, do a quick login to SP, blog/post/browse/read as per your convenience and whenever possible multiple times a day. When it seems like a small casual task you wont dread doing it.
And we all know how much being regular on SP helps!

I am thinking more about staying on track. Rethinking the things I eat. Need to think more about serving size. Need to get connected to more people.

I up and on early so I touch base with everyone. My friends & family and my Spark friends I've made on here actually do feel like family. Everyone is just plain nice here. It seems like there's a shingle hanging outside that says "Wanted" all nice people!!

I am new to SP today. I really need to lose twenty ponds and return to the person I was before I buried both parents, lost my husband, sold my home, moved to another and changed careers in the economic slump. Some folks do Retail Therapy, I did Food Therapy. I am now settled, happy, back on track, have great friends and am doing my art again. I JUST WANT TO WEAR THE WARDROBE I OWN THAT REFLECTS THE TRUE ME AND FITS A SEVERAL SIZES SMALLER PERSON! LOL

I've been trying to loose weight, work in a high stress job i tend to overeat to compensate for the stress level. Really have low self esteem what can i do to improve this?
KATHRYNSCH9/21/2012 6:14:00 PM
My first day on sp I put in all the food I ate that day. omg I had no idea I was consuming that much sodium (3053) and calories(1899). Never mind how low all my protein potassium calcium and magnesium counts were. I like being in control now. I have my 11 yr old grandson to answer to now because we put in my food together. He reminded me I forgot the beans and the salsa today.....thanks We also do the exercises together. He is quite an athlete and I want to see him as an adult on some NHL team!

With advanced Osteoarthritis I believe the only way to relieve some of the pain is to get the weight off removing some of what my joints have to bear. This is probably the most important diet I have been on.

Hi, I came back to Sparkpeople, because I am tired of continously saying I need to lose weight. I need to stop talking and start acting!

I really like the web site, but your app is not so good. I wish I could look at my page from my phone app. But either way it has helped me stay on track with my calorie counting!
CAHARRISON18/12/2012 9:46:00 PM
IM ON MY SECOND DAY WITH SPARK PEOPLE. I HAVE LOST 20 POUNDS ON MY OWN BUT THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL TO TRACK MY CALORIES. IM HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING IN MY DAILY CALORIES IT SEEMS TO DIFFUCULT. SO IM JUST WRITING IT DOWN.
