Impressed

I rarely give product recommendations, but today I feel I must. There was an advertisement on this page for a great site, SparkPeople.com. I visited the site and signed up for a completely free weight loss plan that was customized to my preferences. I was also automatically grouped up with members there with similar sitations and weight loss goals to me, and became a part of their "team."

They have a nutrition tracker, and fitness tracker, and a weigh-in section. All three seem very easy to use and very beneficial. There are numerous articles that are very helpful to anyone trying to get into better shape. A message board is also available for to give support to someone or get a little for yourself when you are struggle or need a pat on the back for a job well done reaching a goal.

Your personal goals, as well as "streaks" of reaching mini daily, weekly, or monthly work out or food consumption goals are tracked on the front page, and help encourage you to stay on track on the small scale.

Overall I find there site to be the best weight loss site I have found. The amount of information and customization geared specifically towards helping you get in the shape you want to be in is incredible. On top of all of this the site membership is completely free, and requires absolutely no personal information (other than weight loss goal related). I highly suggest all of you check it out and see what you think.

You may need to scroll up or down on the list by clicking the little arrows at the top of the list to find it.
