Sparkpeople.com--FREE weight loss--come join the DIS Sparkteam!

[harleyquinn]

Anyone a member?

I thought it might be fun to have a sparkpeople group here. We can transfer to that site too.

If you don't know, www.sparkpeople.com is a FREE weight loss website where you can track your eating habits and get lots of info.

They also have really great message boards.

ETA: I created a Sparkteam for us. You can find it by looking under "hobbies and interests" and then "travel." Or I can send you an invite, just PM me!!

We have a weekly weigh-in and weekly challenges.

[Zoesmama03]

I'm a member but I gotta get back on track after being sick almost the entire month with something. From the 4th to the 16th I battled a double ear infection which normally doesn't bother or get me down but doubled with a really bad sinus infection(my first OH JOY) it had me in bed for over a week. Then just as I'm feeling better I get that itchy feeling in my throat and now a nasty cough that won't stop.

I'm Zoesmama03 on there too. I have a sparkpage if you want to add me on your friends list there. :)

[harleyquinn]

Yay! I saw you added me as a friend. I'll keep an eye out for you.

I hope you're feeling better!! I just got over a sinus infection myself, so I totally understand.

[Nicole786]

i just joined yesterday! my username over there is Nicole786

[keenercam]

Hi, everyone! I am a spark person, too and my user name is the same over there. I have been off track the past week, having worked 3 nights out of the past seven until well past midnight and being back at work less than 7 hours later.
I will do better today.
The resources on sparkpeople are the best I have found anywhere. I do Weight Watchers but found I was wasting a lot of calories/points on junkfood. Sparkpeople has made me more conscientious about the makeup of those calories. It is a fun place to track exercise, too.

[NYcpa]

I have been on sparkpeople for about a year. I have used it very inconsistently. My user name there is tonedme. I hope to get using it again as it worked when I was.

I first need to start eating regular meals and not eating out all the time.

Just signed up and my user name is the same. tbstein

I'm a member too - someone from here told me about it!
It's FABULOUs!

[violetshelby]

Hi, I just joined up also. I really need to do something to get and stay motivated. Thank You. My name is Violetshelby over there also.:thumbsup2

[joshsmom]

I'm a member and IT IS AWESOME!!! Liberty Belle pointed me in the right direction and I am doing REALLY well on it. I'm joshsmom1996 there.

[harleyquinn]

Just wanted to update. I've been using SP for a little over 2 weeks and I'm down 7 pounds!!!

I joined a very comprehensive challenge (we each chip in $10, then we get points for all sorts of things and at the end the one with the most points gets the money!). I think joining challenges is really key.

I've tracked my food every single day and I am exercising way more than I did on WW.

BTW my name over there is TRIPLES17.

[harleyquinn]

Maybe we should start a Diser team over there. Anyone interested? There are a bunch of Disney teams, but I didn't see one with DISers.

I would be interested!!! I'm down 21 pounds and I am STOKED!! Going to Disney in just over a month and I would love to be on a team there with folks from here. Let me know!

[Desiree]

I'm geauxgirl over there. I haven't been in so long but I'm looking forward to getting back on track. I'm at an all time high and just feeling very depressed in general. I need some motivation again! :sad1:

[harleyquinn]

I'll go ahead and start a team. Anyone is welcome to join!!

[harleyquinn]

I called us the DISboard Disney-aholics.

Make sure you join up! I'll make challenges and stuff if you're interested!

[disnutt]

I'm a Spark Person! I'm disnutt over there, too. I'll go find our Dis-team!

Thanks

[Desiree]

I called us the DISboard Disney-aholics.

Make sure you join up! I'll make challenges and stuff if you're interested!

Got it! Challenges there would be great too! I can use all the help I can get!

[Nicole786]

i cant find it when i search :(

[Pooki]

I just signed up on this site - it seems very thorough! I need support to help me going - DH is trying to get healthier also, but I would love to be a part of something with more defined goals. I also did a search for the team (and learning what teams are...) and I couldnt find it. :confused3 I'm Pooki81, btw.

[harleyquinn]

The search feature is terrible. I put it under "hobbies and interests" and then "travel."

I found it that way, but just doing a search comes up with nada. I sent everyone invites. So you can join that way. just check your Sparkmail.

If anyone wants added from here out and can't find the team, PM me and I'll send you an invite!

[PRINCESS VIJA]

How does the team stuff work over there? I will have to pop over, sounds like some great resources and motivation.

[siouxsieQ]

I join the DIS Spark team. I am Stiouxee on Sparkpeople! :)

[harleyquinn]

How does the team stuff work over there? I will have to pop over, sounds like some great resources and motivation.

Basically it's whatever we make it. Sparkteams allow people with similiar interests to find each other and work on goals together. It's like our own private message board. Let me know if you need an invite!

[harleyquinn]

We've got a great team going, come join us and use SP's free tools!

[DVC Daisy]

Hi there!

I joined Sparkpeople 2 weeks ago after reading about it here - and I have to say that it ROCKS! Already down 4.5 lbs. :thumbsup2

Off to find all of you over there - I am DVC Daisy there too.

[binny]

Hi all, remember me?
I have been here off and on through the years..
Im back in. I have a diet buddy though now and she is a maniac. I predict I will succeed this time for sure :eek: LOL

Could I please have an invite to join the group?
Thanks!~

[harleyquinn]

Welcome Daisy! I sent you an invite Binny--assuming your SP name is binny! :teeth:

[binny]

Binny89 actually. I was one of the first one to join at SP but they wouldnt let me be binny :confused:

[katerkat]

I'm katerkat over there - I'll look for the team! I've only been recording exercise recently, but once I do my 12K, I'll calm down on the exercising and start the food tracking!

ETA: Found the team! When my mom gets home from vacation, I'm going to invite her to join. She does better when she competes!

[TinkerbellRN]

i've been over there for a while...i'll look you up!

[neonurse]

I have to say how excited I am to find my DIS friends are on sparkspeople too!!!:cool1: I just started SP this week but have been following WW for a month (down 10 lb). I hope this helps with the motivation factor. Combining my obsession (DIS) with dieting and life changes has got to be a winner. I am not really sure what to do with the challenges etc as I am still having a trying time reading through all the material on the SP site. What are the points for??? I'm mickeysgirl on SP. Looking forward to hanging out.

[VanniGirl]

I just happened to find the DIS team on Sparkpeople - figured I would check out this board as well.

DH and I are loosing weight together - makes it easier :)

[harleyquinn]

Binny89 actually. I was one of the first one to join at SP but they wouldnt let me be binny :confused:

Well, I sent the first invite to binny, so I'll send you a new one. :teeth:

Take your time and get used to everything. I think the points are for teams to get on the leader board, but we'll never get there, so don't worry about them. I just like getting to the next point level, so I try to do everything to get my points everyday.

It's SP's way of getting you to really experience the whole site.

Let me know if you need an invite!

My DH is also on our team, maybe your DH will join too? He doesn't have to be a disser!

Great!!! Welcome everyone!

[DVC Daisy]

I think the points are for teams to get on the leader board, but we'll never get there, so don't worry about them.

Who knows about that :rotfl: Never underestimate the power of the DIS! Look how many points we have today compared to a couple of days ago.

So - the more WISHers (or DISers in general) that we get to join - the more points we accumulate :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

For anyone wondering what it is all about - check out the website - it is a GREAT resouce regardless of what plan you choose to follow. And it is FREE! :love:

[DaisyLou2]

Hello! I already had an account there but I haven't logged in for almost a year. I just joined your group!

[iggbees]

i joined. i'm iggbees on there too. after this month i'm finished with weight watchers. i wasn't motivated enough and didn't really understand the points system. i'm hoping that i'll do well with this, just to get fit.

[VanniGirl]

I had my DH join too - he is lophat1210 :)

[DreamBeliever]

I just joined Spark and my user name is the same, DreamBeliever! I found our group and I can't wait to get started!

I need to spend some time on Spark and better understand the program ~ I'm ready to take this journey :woohoo:

[harleyquinn]

Yay! Welcome everyone!

I think we have 3 DHs lurking about now too! :teeth:

[NHmomof2boys]

I just joined SP this weekend and I love it! I am a WW lifetimer, but love SP. I really needed something a little different. I was getting so relaxed with WW it just wasn't as effective as it should have been.

I just joined the DIS team. I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody and losing together! My user name there is bpatten.

Happy losing:)

[harleyquinn]

Great! Welcome to the team!

[DreamBeliever]

I'm really enjoying the Spark pixiedust: It's really informative AND motivational. ;) Many thanks!

[need_a_Disney_fix]

I just joined SP today and found the DIS team! Just what I need...another message board. :rotfl: But, I am so excited about this and I truly think (hope) this may be just what I need. See ya guys over there! :upsidedow

Man I really need you guys to refer me so I can get more Sparkpoints! They're like crack to me!! lol :rotfl2: And of course they aren't actually money or anything. Remember my name is triples17!! lol :lmao:

[need_a_Disney_fix]

I just want to say that I have been on SP just a few days and I LOVE IT! Being a WW member, this gives me a different approach which seems to be working for me. Instead of counting points, its a nice change to count calories. Their food tracker makes it a cinch. :woohoo:

[harleyquinn]

As a former WW member I totally agree, Laurie!

Did you join the Dis team?

Yes I did. I am laurie5658 over there. :surfweb:

I just joined (and used triple17 as a referral!). I'm going to go look around a bit and get the lay of the land. I'm not much of a "team" player, but I'll look for you and see what it involves.

What a cool website! I watched the video about the guy who started it.

I just joined sparkpeople on Friday and was searching for a Dis team, guess I didn't look right. Thanks for the info!

ETA: I found you!!

[phisigprincess]

Glad I found this! I love SP! :)

[MelanieC]

Hey everyone, I've been a member of Sparkpeople for a while now. I just joined the group! Looking forward to it!

[binny]

How is everyone doing?

Happy Sunday!

[believe]

I joined but not sure how often I will be able to post. We have something similar through work, hard to keep up 2 journals. I will probably post or lurk but not journal there since I journal through my work.

I love the newsletters, updates....they are very helpful.

[DisneySweetie]

Thanks for posting info about SP. I would love to loose 10 lbs before my December wedding. I eat pretty well and exercise some, but I graduated a year ago and got a desk job. We all know what that means - a few extra lbs. Especially because there's no longer a free (for students) rec center to escape to between classes. Hopefully I can work it all off before our Wedding and Disneymoon. It's great that it's free because DF & I are on a tight budget in order to pay for our wedding and such. We did splurge and contract a fabulous photographer and I would like to proudly display all the photos for the rest of my life. I'll join the group and keep my eye on the prize. Thanks again.

[harleyquinn]

Thanks for joining everyone!! (And thanks to those that used me as a referral! :teeth:)

[cats7494]

Hi there!
Thanks for the link! I just signed up today and my user name is cats7494...
It looks like a great site!

[Dodielynn]

Thanks - me too. Great Site! triples17 gave you as referral - does that give you more points?

[harleyquinn]

Thanks - me too. Great Site! triples17 gave you as referral - does that give you more points?

Yep! Which is good for the team as a whole. I get 10 points with each referral. And Mods--the points aren't for anything physical, it's just a motivator for the site and teams. Teams with the most points get featured, but no prozes or anything!

Welcome to the team!!

[DVCkidsMOM]

I joined SparkPeople at the end of February after regaining 5 of the 25 I'd lost last summer with DIS-WISH and South Beach. Now I'm down 15 from SparkPeople start so that's a total, since I've bothered to track of 30 - woo hoo. Puts my stall in perspective for me. I'm not calling it a plateau because I know what I am and am not doing that is causing my stall. Hopefully seeing my 30 WISH icon will help remotivate me ;) See you over at SP as MSNEmommy with the signature WDWfanLinda. Better log off and go to bed or I won't get the point for my 8 hours of sleep goal...

I've lost 12 pounds in about 8 weeks with SP! Yay!!

The team is going strong if anyone else wants to join!

[Worfiedoodles]

I just joined about a week and a half ago. I am addicted to earning points, and it is definitely helping my waistline. Gotta love the DISers! :)

YAY!!! I just found the team - don't need to PM Thanks anyway!!

[harleyquinn]

We always get a bunch of new members when this gets bumped! :teeth:

Welcome to all the newbies!

[poppinspal]

I just joined as well. It's one thing to be doing well with my running but I need to get my diet up to par.

[need_a_Disney_fix]

I joined Spark in April and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I am a lifetime WW member but counting points was not working for me anymore. With Spark I have lost 9 pounds PLUS I am learning how to make these chnages an everyday thing and just not temporary. I am more addicted to Spark than even the DIS.

[Worfiedoodles]

Laurie -- I am so glad to hear someone else say POINTs didn't work for them anymore. I lost 25 lbs. on WW, but for some reason it just didn't seem to help this time. I think it's because I use all my points on junk, and don't get any protein. I am getting a more realistic look at my overall diet, and it's not just helping my waist, it's helping my moods. I think I must be "carb-sensitive", 'cause if I let myself that would be all I'd eat...

[HockeyKat]

I joined the SP team too (thanks Worfie), also as HockeyKat.

I am on calorie restriction (~1200) combined w/ a ton of gym time. I have lost 25 so far and have about 40 to go. I am trying to get most of my calories from healthy sources... lean meats, veggies, fruits, nonfat dairy.

Yay!! :yay: I am glad that I could help. I really like it so far... I am finding out that I am really not eating enough, actually. I seem to barely make my 1200 most days and that is after realizing (like tonight) that I need to eat another snack. I guess it really does get easier to eat less, or perhaps you figure out how to maximize your calories after a while.

I was doing that too! But I plateaued b/c I think my body went into starvation mode. I've found that I do best between 1200-1400. SP is really great for tracking that.

:wave: I just joined sparkpeople and the DIS team. I have done WW in the past and while I lose 30-40 pounds I think lose motivation and gain it all back. :sad2: I think I am going to give this a shot. I love all the tools and hopefully I will be able to make some progress. :)

Day 2 and so far so good.... :)

I think I am going to like the site because it lets me track so many different things. I am a very concrete number kind of person which is why I really enjoyed the WW points program. However, that was really only one number you were keeping track with and I like the breakdown I can see on SP. I like that it has a range for different items (cal, protein, fat, etc.). I also like that it will graph our your progress so it should be easier to find patterns and tweak my diet and/or exercise when necessary.

I really like this! :) I like having things to track to hold me accountable but I don't seem to get as obsessed over just one number like I did on WW points. The first day was hard but since then it has almost been easy. :scared1: I can't believe I just wrote that! ;) I am just focusing on making better choices and trying to only eat when I am hungry. I don't have my official weigh-in until this weekend but I couldn't resist a sneak peek at the scale this morning and I was down.....7 pounds!!! :woohoo: Incredible! Of course I realize most of that is probably water weight but still it is a great way to start. :)

[~Brandy~]

Good morning DIS Sparkpeople!

My first weigh-in was Sunday and showed a very respectable 2 pound loss. I know I can't expect that every week but it was a nice start! This week I'm trying to add in more water each day because I really struggle with 8 glasses a day.

I'm a little torn this morning because I forgot to bring my usual South Beach bar for breakfast and I'm stuck eating from the work cafeteria, which is maybe the unhealthiest place in the world. I'm not sure who approved bags of M&Ms as a breakfast item!

[eeyore45]

Good Luck Brandy..

I've started just bagging my breakfast cereal (GO Lean crunch) and taking it (higher protein, not south beach) ahead of time. Hope you can find some healthy choices.

I hear you on the water - I'm doing it this week. and I'm going to walk (or run 30 min every day!) That's my goal...

I'm still trying to figure out all the sparkspages!!

[eeyore45]

I wonder I've been working on my "home page" Have you added each other to the "friends"? I believe I set my page to private? :confused3

[MinnieMouseMom]

WTG on the weight loss, Brandy! :cheer2:

A 3 pound loss for me this week which is great! I was really just aiming for 1 pound since we were traveling for the holiday but I managed to stay on plan even with all of that and only went over my calorie range by just a tad on 2 days. I also managed to continue to exercise while I was gone. :) I did have one day (yesterday) where I only got in half of my water but now that I am back home there are no excuses there.

Hey fellow spark people!!:wave: I am new to WISH & to sparkpeople. Almost 2 weeks on sparkpeople & I have lost 4 lbs. (although I have put 2 back on due to water retention!!:mad: ) I have really been good with cardio, not so much for strength training, but I will start that soon.

my spark name is katelynsmommy1. I am still trying to figure out the ins & outs, but am very excited to join up with you all!!:cheer2:

I just joined the spark team! I have been a member there for over a year, but stopped partially due to laziness, and partly due to being pregnant with my son. My user name is the same over there (Bigolive9). I was going to re-join Weight watchers, but my husband reminded me that Sparkpeople does the same thing, but is free!
My short term goal is to lose 20 pounds by my son's 6 month birthday (November 23).

I am sure that some of this is really from last week (I must have been retaining water on weigh-in day last week) but this week I am down 4.5 pounds!!! :woohoo:

This puts me at 21.5 pounds since I started Sparkpeople and 36 pounds lost since I started losing weight. :woohoo:

I just found this thread and joined the team on sparkpeople. I'm still figuring out the site, but am happy to have found you all. It sounds like you're doing great!

I weighed in again this morning for the July weight loss challenge and I have lost another 2.5 pounds. :)

38 pounds total and 24 total using SP. :)

I'm new to WISH and SP. `(I joined last night) I would love to join your team. I've lost 28# with WW, but I am still eating a lot of junk. I really need to be held accountable.

I just joined Sparkpeople yesterday (and had a good day... drank my water, stayed away from the raspberry pie that DH bought). It seems like an awesome site to keep track of everything.
