There is no "secret" to losing weight with SP. SP isn't a diet, it's a weight management program which gives you the information and the tools you need to change the way you eat, cook and exercise, while supporting you every step of the way. I found SP purely by chance, through a reference in a magazine article. I've lost 17 lbs. so far and plan to lose at least another 13, then learn to maintain that weight loss for the rest of my life.

Be VERY careful with your back when making basic movements - bending down excessively can be quite hazardous! Also, when picking up items, do not use your back for momentum (don't ask me how I know this.....)
I track sodium on the Sparky nutrition tracker. Avoiding or at least limiting salty foods helps the Sparky water wash the pounds away with greater consistency.
MORE INFORMATION:
Sodium is one of the many options one can track, in addition to the basics (calories, carbs, fat, etc.).
