Motivation Plus! September 7, 2010
Bryn (Richmond, VA)
I joined Spark online before I bought the book so I had a two-week headstart. I've now finished the book and I'm so glad I bought it. First of all, Chris's story of his struggles are inspiring and illustrate that the mind is a powerful tool in overcoming adversity. For those of us struggling with weight issues (many long-term), it is refreshing to see that even somebody with no weight issues has other demons to overcome. I've followed the guidelines in the book and transferred that information to the web site. Now I can't imagine a day without logging in to chart my progress, chart my food, chart my exercise, etc. One thing that has assumed huge importance in my life is telling the computer that I've finished eating for the day and to run a chart to show how I've done. Psychologically, that means that I can no longer sneak food late at night. It's had a definite influence on my weight: I've lost three pounds two weeks in a row. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone searching for motivation to get started and continue until you've achieved your goals. I know that's what I'm committed to do. Good luck!

This book makes a great self-help guide, it makes a great gift and it makes a great point: Spark your Life!
I highly recommend this book, if I could give it more than 5 stars I would!
There are many inspiring stories, tips for motivation, plans for fitness, healthy eating, goal setting and some plain good advice. The best anyone can ask for is good advice.
A wonderful guide to repairing your life !! August 13, 2010

When I stumbled upon the SparkPeople website and learned more details of this book, I knew I had to really study it. I had never seen such a positive community, one seeming more interested in helping others even more than netting "subscribers".
Chris Downie does an excellent job of explaining the behind-the-scenes story of how and why he began SparkPeople. His use of motivating testimonials drives home the main point that YOU CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE! Although his plan is subtitled, "The 28 Day Breakthrough Plan for Losing Weight, Getting Fit, and Transforming Your Life," Chris simplifies how different areas of your life can affect each other. He shows how nutrition, exercise, and the right attitude are key tools in any physical transformation.
Breaking up what might normally be monotonous details, scattered quotes from SparkPeople community members and real-life examples go far to keep the reader's interest. There might be something seriously wrong with you, if you can't feel motivated and prepared to make the change(s) you need in your life, after reading THE SPARK!
As you read the book, or even beforehand, be sure to check out the SparkPeople website to see how much fun it really can be to change your lifestyle for the better! It truly is unlike any other "plan" out there today!
