Weight Loss - Healthy Lifestyle Change

I don't know if any of you would like to join or not, but I thought I'd put out the offer anyway. I'm a member of this site www.sparkpeople.com, I've been a member of this site since May 13, 2008. It is a free online diet & healthy living community with over 3 million members who provide support & motivation to each other. When I first joined I was weighing 180 lbs, which for my size & height of 5' that is NOT a healthy weight. Since being a member, I've lost around 40-45 lbs I'm down to 135-134 lbs right now, my goal is to be down to 120 -110 lbs, which for me is a healthy weight.

Anyway, think about it and if you would like, please feel free to add me as your Referrer.

Here's the link to join... http://www.sparkpeople.com/myspark/register.asp?referredby=3423239&from=friend

Here's a bit more about SparkPeople.

About Us


At SparkPeople, our mission is to SPARK millions of PEOPLE to reach their goals and lead healthier lives. We offer nutrition, health, and fitness tools, support, and resources that are 100% free, while other sites like Weight Watchers and eDiets.com charge their members for similar services.

Our weight loss program teaches people to stop dieting and transition to a permanent, healthy lifestyle. Far beyond just weight loss, SparkPeople helps everyone learn to eat better and exercise regularly—for life. And people who don’t want to lose weight can still join and benefit from SparkPeople's tools, resources and community features. In addition to informative articles and interactive tools, such as fitness trackers and meal plans, members can find support and encouragement from our vibrant, positive community of members and experts.

All the components of our program mix in an element of fun so that our members truly do stick with their programs. With millions of members, we’ve witnessed thousands of success stories firsthand. We’ve found that using sound nutrition and regular exercise as a “springboard” for success helps our members find greater enjoyment in life and strive for even more goals, creating their own real-life adventures!

Member Testimonials:


We love our jobs at SparkPeople, and the best part of our job is reading testimonials sent by our members. We have thousands of great testimonials, here are 4 of our favorites.

“Thank you SparkGuy: I am 58 years old and had decided that life was pretty much done for me. I wasn't motivated to exercise, eat healthy, make new friends. I was just feeling old and used up. Then one day I decided to try to lose a few pounds and while looking online I found your site. Three months have gone by and I am 13 pounds slimmer, walking many miles a week, and I have more friends than I had in high school and they are all rooting for ME!.”

- Sandy D. from Lima, Ohio
