If you go to the "my nutrition" section you click the 'add food' button to track your meals. It has a bazillion things listed, but you can also add your own and save the nutritional facts so you don't have to re-add it.

you just put in your menu and waht you ate for that day.... they have a lot of foods on there and then there are options to add your own if it's no there...

I will join that one right now....I need all the motivation I can get and I know you ladies will help!!

Ok... BDW update. So I've been on this site for less than 2 weeks, and I've lost 2 lbs! Slow and steady wins the race, right? For anyone looking to lose weight, I'd definitely recommend sparkpeople. The calorie counter has really been a huge incentive to me, and I started getting back to the gym, so I'm on the right track!

You can do it. I lost 3 last week just by eating a healthy breakfast. something i never did before.

OK. I hope you all don't mind but I'm going to find my way to the site and join as well! I have 6 months until the wedding and at least 10 pounds to lose!

Ok.....since nothing else has worked, I've just joined too! If this can't help me, nothing can!

Great ladies!!! Sparkpeople definitely worked for me I lost 15lbs and then was told by my bridal shop that I really shouldn't lose anymore weight. I found that committing to tracking EVERYTHING I put in my mouth really worked. Who wants to eat a cheeseburger when you have to look at how many calories and fat grams you just ate? Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Good for you Jen, that's awesome!
