Spark People.com

Okay I know that I am always bugging you with different websites to try but I have to tell you that I have been REALLY impressed with Sparkpeople.com. I've been ready their emails for about a year but it's only been a couple of weeks since I started using their site consistently. I still love fatsecret.com and livestrong.com. They are GREAT but sparkpeople provides SOOOO much more!

Here are some of the reasons I LOVE Sparkpeople.com

1st-The Reports

I am a VERY visual person! It is EXTREMELY helpful to see a pie chart of my calorie breakdown. Someone can say SueAnn you are eating to much fat and that would register but it REALLY clicks when I can look at a pie chart and see that 45% of my caloric intake is fat (by the way it's not that was just a for example. :))

2nd-Custom Food Entries

Sometimes you just can't find something you've eaten on your calorie counter. But Sparkpeople let's you enter your own items. This is also a GREAT tool if you have a specific recipe for something. So you can input your recipe at Calorie Count.com and get the nutrition info and then plug it in here at Sparkpeople.com. I love this because it means that my calories will be way more accurate!

3rd-The Articles

They have great articles! Whether you are looking for information about food, exercise, health, etc. you can find a great article about it on Sparkpeople.com. Plus if you sign up for their emails you get these articles everyday! LOVE IT!

4th-The Challenges & The Community

There is always a challenge going on at Sparkpeople.com! They have thousands of members and you if you are ever feeling a lack of support just hit the message boards! You will get the boost you need!

5th-Sparkrecipes.com

LOVE this site! It's easy to search and just about everything I've tried has been wonderful!

Like this recipe for CRISPY RANCH CHICKEN! Super easy and VERY yummy!

6th-The iPod Touch App & Website Sync EFFORTLESSLY!

Anything on entered on my iPod is recorded on the website within seconds and visa versa!

LOVE IT!

I could go on and on about the reasons I love Sparkpeople.com but I won't bore you any longer. Over the last 10 months I have tried at least a half a dozen calorie counting sites and I will tell you that this is HANDS DOWN my favorite. So go on-try it out and be sure to tell me what YOU think of it!!
