  • The Spark

    The Spark gives an overview of the website Sparkpeople.com. and covers the primary information regarding why the site was started. It summarizes the author's view on living healthy and how the website provides nutritional information as well as tracking devices to live a healthy lifestyle. It emphasizes that small changes make a huge difference in people's lives and relates this to any goal in your life. I would recommend the book to anyone who has a goal of healthy living since this would provide the roadmap to get there.

  • Excellent Advice For A Healthy Lifestyle

    I have been a member of sparkpeople for over a year and this book was still full of tons of advice that is very helpful in teaching you a heathy LIFESTYLE. I bold that word because it is not a wuick fix. Sparkpeople is about lifestyle changes and not a quick crash diet. If you want excellent advice and to learn more about yourself and living healthy, this is the book for you!

  • Hanging on to those who succeed will bring me to it too, go Sparks!

    Love to read others getting- in- shape success stories. SparkPeople.com is 5 million strong and it works, (IT'S FREE) and this book shows HOW. Thanks to Chris Downie for all the help he provides, it's amazing!!! ( A REAL HERO) Good book!

  • If you love The Spark, you've gotta have The Spark!

    Since I'm a die hard Spark fan, I wanted to know more about the movement. This book gives a lot of insight into The Spark. I learned more about the program and have found it to be a valuable source of inspiration and motivation in my journey!

  • the spark

    I thought it would have recipes and stories geared to my age group ( 55-60 ) I found more information for free on the website of sparks
