Do something for you...

Hello hello! I hope everyone enjoyed the sunshine and fine temperatures. I know I did. I love spring in New England. We can never be certain what we'll get.

No photos today. Instead, I want to talk about a really great web site. www.sparkpeople.com

Now, before you groan and tune me out - this is NOT your typical weight loss site. Yes, there are articles and food trackers and targets and whatnot. Sure. But that's not what makes Spark People so successful! What SparkGuy (the founder of SparkPeople) and his team have going for them is community.

Losing weight and staying fit is tough. It's often not so much fun. But having people who know and are willing to chat it up helps so much! Spark has teams (message groups) that fit everyone! For example, I lead a team that got together based on the date they joined Spark, plus I belong to one for Massachusetts folks, one for people with knee problems, and one for whole foods junkies. :) There are groups for everything from medical issues, to single parents to weight lifters to people-who-only-wear-purple-on-Fridays. :) (ok, maybe not the last one, but you could start one!)

Sparkpeople isn't one size fits all. It's what each member makes of it every day, and their success is everywhere.

So why not come join us? We love new people, and each of us have a story to tell.

Just do it! ;)

I've been trying to find a way to sum up the greatness of Sparkpeople since I joined and I'm still falling short. You have definitely hit the nail on the head with this post. See you around Spark, maybe!
