Hi Minnie
If you take a look in our motivation resources center, you'll see the whole SparkPeople System. We focus more on nutrition and fitness on most of the site, but the SparkPeople System was built to bring together all the things that would help people be a better person.
Let me know if you have any questions about it!

|
| sparkguy, what's the sparkpeople program?
|
|
|
|
I just started the SparkPoints Club under the message board "The SparkPeople Challenge" - please join me there if you are interested!
|

Thanks Mameta! Yes, I started the company to help other people reach their goals because I reached so many of my own personal and professional goals using the SparkPeople program.
DCLola - congrats on crossing 1,000 SparkPoints!

SparkGuy,
SparkPoints Club sounds fun! I agree with everyone here that they are a real motivator. I am extremely honest with myself when awarding those points. Accountability is an important quality and one I practice by using the SparkPoints.
Let us know what you plan with the points!
Just my two cents... *smile*

| Hi,Sparkguy! wow, you are the founder of sparkpeople? This is a wonderful site! I switched from south beach to your site after my sister told me about it. Your fee is also very reasonable which was another reason I signed on. I have been telling everyone about it. I had never even been in a chat room until i went on the sb site. It is encouraging to know that there are other people just like me with the same thoughts, frustrations, hopes and goals. Thank you and God Bless you for this site! p.s. I was wondering about those points. what does it mean?

|
| PS How about this as something fun - what if we start the "SparkPoints Club" as a board and try to post on that board regularly as a way to see our number of SparkPoints and encourage each other on?

Hey Everyone
Thanks for your input on SparkPoints! I'm actually starting to work on a project to look at expanding SparkPoints from what it used to be. It may be awhile before we can look at programming this, but I'd love to get some feedback from people. Please let me know if you would be interested in learning more about this!

| I ALSO agree, and mentioned it a few weeks ago. At first, it was just annoying, but I think it's actually a big reason that I'm not meeting all my goals. In fact, I keep forgetting them! Like I said before, it's a really POSITIVE motivator, as opposed to the negative things like trying to "lose" weight. It's nice to actually shoot for accruing something. How did it confuse people? I want it back!!!

|
| I agree. I really do miss it, and I'm not doing near as well now that it is gone.
|
|
|
|
| i think you made a mistake. it's a good motivator

| We actually removed it from your personalized pages, it actually confused a LOT of people, we think more than it helped. We're sorry this is no longer available.

On the top of the old screen you could see the total number of goals achieved. On the message boards it is called SparkPoints. Maybe I'm just tired, but I can't seem to find anywhere this number is listed except to find an old post of mine and see what is listed there. That is not a great motivator.
I loved seeing that number go up everything I logged in and updated my activities for the day.
Please tell me where else I can find this number if there such a place!!! I finally realized that might be one reason I've lost my motivation.
