I joined the SparkAmerica 2022 Spring Fit City Challenge team with great pleasure. A way to provide me quickly pace for spring time. Indeed, it is an interactive challenge that helps to improve my health. The team and leader are an extraordinary incentive for activity. Great, my lifestyle is extremely easy and successful.

“Spark people is distroyed”

Kay K.

I have done spark for years on and off when I needed to loose a few pounds. I was very successful with it. I loved that I could meet people and find food from all over the world and make my own recipies and calculate the calories, because I eat a lot of ethnic food. I went back to the site again because I am trying to loose a few pounds I gained during the pandemic. I was shocked to find this has been turned into a FACIEST "America Only site". And to think I actually recommended this Crap to my international students. I have no use what so every for facist SparkAmerica I am an American but this is sick. The fascists' have destroyed another good thing. From the description it also sounds like they are now charging for the services they used to offer for free. But I an not interested in an American only online platform so I can not say for sure..

Since taking Active PK for a week I have lost a few pounds eating the same foods as before. This has not happened even exercising 1 hour per day. So I am happy with this product.

I have used Spark People for years to track fitness and weight. I was shocked to log in this morning, only to find it gone. Where are my records? Where are my awards? What happened to my thousands of logged points? Worst of all, apparently the "new" Spark America is only for US citizens. This was a great motivational site, deserving of the highest praise. If I had to rate your support and user loyalty, I would give you a big "0" out of 5. Very poorly done Spark. You could have at least given notice on the site that this was about to happen. If you did, I missed it.

I LOVE the tracker! I have been using it for a while now and I track food, water and exercise. You also have access to a support group made up of people all over the world. You can join challenges or teams, it is all up to you! The best part is, it's free! You can use this with whatever food plan you are on. You can pay a little for the Spark diet plan but you do not have to, to use the whole site. Highly recommend for everyone who is trying to lose weight or keep it off!

I've been actively using and gaining knowledge from SparkPeople for many years now. I signed up when I just wanted to lose a few pounds. Of course, life got in the way and I ended up gaining some weight after my two children were born. As soon as I was ready, SparkPeople was right there and helped me get back in shape. I feel like I have so much knowledge of nutrition that I'm actually able to pass it along to my kids. It's a wonderful site and I'm glad it's around!

Love the easy way to look up foods. Have used before and this is the best sight. Can save foods and groups that you use frequently. It helps to look at the daily and weekly totals of carbs, protein and fat.

SparkPeople's mission is to help you become a healthier and (if you wish) lighter person, for free. It has more content and community than you could ever need. It's a very balanced site which uses tried and true nutrition and fitness improvements to get you on track.

Meal tracking. Exercise tracking. Medical stats. Auto-syncing. Daily goals. Meal plans. Monthly challenges. Cheesy but effective reinforcement system. A community which cheers each other on. SparkPeople's got it.

Endless articles teach you how to cook, exercise, manage illness, and balance life, and the information on the site tends to be quite well scientifically supported and actionable. Then there are some cool features like when you select a weight loss goal, it will automatically adjust your daily recommended calories and weekly exercise minutes to help you achieve that goal.

I've never bought anything from the site, and I actually won two free exercise DVDs. Although sparkpeople does sell some goods and services, it's not overly pushy or annoying, especially if you have an ad blocker installed.

This site has helped me tremendously. I love the fact that you can create your own group, have your own blog and interact with individuals who are going through the weight loss.

I've been a member for 3 yrs and have to say this free site has more than one could ever need from a health lifestyle site. There are articles, how-to stuff, videos, recipies, trackers you name it, they have it! They also have very supportive forums. It's an amazingly uplifting site. Plus you can create your own page (optional) to communicate with other members. I have learned a lot about myself, nutition and exercise. Plus I have lost weight with the information and support of their professionals and their members support. And it's also fun!

This is a great site. Since joining Spark I have lost a total of 25lbs. It is a great platform where you can interact with other people on the same journey. There are workouts and cooking shows that help you to succeed with your weight loss goals. Overall I highly recommend this site for anyone trying to lose weight that needs some extra support.

Went looking for a site on psych/depression problems and this Sparkpeople.com came up. Found a group talking about Depression, then started using the tools to help lose weight and improve my self image. This place has "teams" for just about anything you are interested in as well as the free dietary, nutrition exercise programs.

I use this site more than my Facebook account.

Mostly free weight loss website, which is a really good deal. They do try and sell you some things like their book, but for what you get on this site it is fine they are trying to make money. Very useful weight loss help and advice. I will admit I have yet to lose weight, but that may more have to do with my ice cream addiction.

I rarely pay attention to these diet sites as I feel they are all scams. I read a couple reviews here on sitejabber and it really does have some good information. I hate those fad sites as they never really work. Community resources like the forums and teams seem like it could make losing weight a little more fun.
