Ever heard of sparkpeople.com? It's for people who are . . .

. . . trying to lose weight. I've waited a couple of weeks to post about this because I wanted to see how the site shook out for me.

It's pretty good so far. It contains a food log (you look up what you've eaten from their database and add it to your log), a fitness log, message boards, "teams" based on goals, interests, etc., a vast learning center, more. It creates reports from the food & fitness logs - good reports. It has a weight loss tracker, a blog feature, a home page (where folks can post comments), a photo album, etc.

It's free -- it has ads, but I don't care. (But no pop-ups, -unders, or any of the annoying kind that move or steal focus.) IMO it's worth it.

1. Here's some motivation - YOU CAN DO IT

Seven years ago I weighed almost 280 pounds. Today, I am at 205, almost to my goal (195). It has taken some time to lose the weight, but I lost it slowly and it has stayed off. My best recommendations for losing weight and keeping it off:

Eat less
Eat mainly plants
Exercise daily

Remember - don't think in terms of "diet" but in terms of "lifestyle change." It takes time, but it works. It really does!

YOU CAN DO IT
