I have come to really, really, really love Sparkpeople!
Reasons why Sparkpeople is awesome:
~ FOOD LOGGER! I log in every day to input my food. They make it super easy to find foods or input foods.
~ Recipes! Their recipe database is amazing and the choices are endless!
~ Fitness Logger! I have just recently started to actually USE the fitness logger and wish I would have done so sooner. It lets you input all your calories burned however you want whether choosing from their list or manually inputing it. They even have an option to track your STEPS which is rad because I now wear my step counter so I get to log those.
~ Reports. YES! This is another area I have never looked at before until now. All kinds of reports on your nutrition and fitness. I’m really starting to rely on the deficit report for calories IN VS calories OUT.
~ Sparkpages! It’s pretty neat to have my own sparkpage and to browse through others to hear all the stories which always inspires and motivates me in so many ways.
~ Subscriptions! You can choose to have different articles sent to your email daily and I really enjoy getting them and learning about all things HEALTH!
I don’t even remember how I found sparkpeople? I think It was from my Mother in Law, actually. She was telling me about different weight loss websites and had mentioned Sparkpeople. At first I only took a glance but then the website kept my interest so I signed up since I was searching for a website to log my food anyhow. Heh, just thought I’d spill on my love for Sparkpeople!
I am so cold now from sweating! I went all out on the treadmill this morning… no surprise! Burned more calories today than I did with Monday’s treadmill workout and also went .5 more to add up to 4.5 miles TOTAL! I’m feeling excellent and can’t wait to eat lunch and get a nice shower to warm up. Katie is getting a cold so I gave her a little Tylenol before her nap and she fussed a bit then passed OUT. Hopefully she’ll feel better pretty quickly. Wellllllll, I’m gotta get up and go get things ready for lunch since my lovah will be home soon for his lunch break so we can hang out and eat!
P.S. – The new Angels and Airwaves album is amazing. I love their music!!!

I used to use Sparkpeople too! That place is definitely awesome! I’m glad you found something that helps you and that you love! I should start using it again. If I do I’ll add you.
It’s nice that youre part of websites like that.. it keeps you even more motivated to life a healthy lifestyle plus you can also keep track of your progress with ease at the same time! It’s the first time i’ve heard of SparkPeople though. Will probably google it in the coming days 🙂 I don’t have the new album of Angels and Airwaves but i’ve heard some of their songs.. they’re pretty good 🙂
That Sparkpeople thing sounds really interesting! I desperately need to lose weight (to make myself feel better and to be much healthier). I think I’ll check it out. Kudos to you for sticking with it and working out so much..that’s great!!
