I’d like to get rid of an extra five pounds that have been stalking me lately so I went in search of some free help. My search led me to SparkPeople — a diet-management site that has apparently been around for a while.
The first thing I noticed when I went to the site was the word “free” — not just a trial and I didn’t have to enter my credit card information anywhere. After entering a few tidbits about my weight and goals I was welcomed into a community of people who are trying to do the same thing as me.
There are loads of tools that help you track what you are eating and what your caloric and fitness goals should be. You can contact other SparkPeople members through SparkMail, or set up appointments with their calendar. SparkPeople also offers various teams and message boards to help you stay motivated, and you can set up a blog to write about your progress.
I apologize if all this is old news to you… but for those of you who haven’t seen SparkPeople yet, check out the screencast below:
