Like many people, I could stand to lose some weight. Actually I need to lose a lot of weight, at least 50 pounds. A number of years ago, the doctor said that I had a condition and medicine was prescribed. I don’t like the medicine for a number of reasons, including financial. My last visit to the doctor was another kick in the pants. If I don’t lose weight, even more medicine will be prescribed. A few posts ago, I mentioned that I was going to change my eating and work out more. So far, so good, but I forgot to weigh myself before I started, so I don’t know how much I’ve lost, but I know it’s been enough to allow me to wear a pair of pants that didn’t fit last month. I need help with food choices though. I’m mildly bored already, and could always make better choices from more options. I need an organized program to follow. Also the feedback that I would get from an organized program would be beneficial.
The doctor keeps recommending Weight Watchers, which I’ve tried with success in the past. But I’m not feeling the price. So I found a FREE diet plan, (I LOVE useful free stuff!) called SparkPeople. The website is at http://www.sparkpeople.com/! I’m really excited! Although I'm not going to use it, I read on the SparkPeople website that the founder also wrote a book entitled THE SPARK. Here’s information about the book from http://book.sparkpeople.com/:
