MetaFit Spark People Team: Smart Healthy Physical Change

April 19, 2011 1:47 AM

Looking for an online group for healthy living? A few of us are reviving the Metafilter team on the Spark People boards so if you're looking for a little support in your Spring health goals check it out. It's private so it's not searchable via Spark People's page. Use this link with the private team code to join.

If you're not familiar with Spark People, it's a website with free programs for healthy living that you can design to fit what you're interested in doing. You can log what you eat, how much you exercise and it will calculate all your nutritional information and calories burned. The free-ness of it means it can be kind of cluttered with adverts, but the tools are good and easy to use.

I'm on as... yduras, I think. Mostly I just get the login points each day lately.

I joined, I have been getting annoyed with FitDay lately. SP is used for similar purposes, right?

This is really good news - between Health Month and this I've kept many 'good habit' streaks going for the past few months. Having a bit more positive social pressure has really worked for me in Health Month, and I'm sure it will in SparkPeople too.
