Sparkteens.com is the teen version of sparkpeople.com, an online dieting and fitness program. It is really a great website that has so many useful tools (and its FREE).
They have two programs, one for people who wan to lose weight and the other for people who want to be healthier in general.
You enter your weight and height and they’ll tell you if your overweight or obese or normal. You can then make a goal weight, and a date that you want to reach that weight. There are many other options that let you customize your program.
They have customizable meal plans that let you keep track of all your nutrients and calories. Recipes included. They also tell you how many calories your workout burned. Great stuff.
There is also a social networking aspect that lets you connect with other teens who are trying to lose weight like you are. Tons more features and tools that I can’t go into right now.
I signed up, I’m currently @ 147 and trying to get down to 132 by September 5, 2009. They tell you not to try to lose more than a pound a week. This isn’t Biggest Loser.
The catch: It won’t lose weight for you, it won’t tell you not to eat that Big Mac. That’s up to you. This just makes it more fun and more streamlined.
Go ahead and sign up: www.teens.sparkpeople.com
