Now there's one more. I didn't know you had one or I would have joined sooner.

I think we are holding our own fairly well considering the size of our membership, we've already got 10,000 points this month. That must be because we are serious at being healthy (and logging our activities)

Unfortunately as SparkGroups get bigger we'll probably keep slipping a little here and there. There's just not enough guys around here active on the boards.

Way to go guys, I just checked out the leaderboard and we are 15th. We are up to 37 total members now with almost 7000 points this month. Keep up the hard work.

I just joined the group. Looking forward to being inspired and hopefully being inspiring. I am tracking faithfully and do a lot of cardio. I do 2 or 3 spinning classes a week (about 700 calories each) I also like to run, walk and do cross-country hikes. Just burned 1762 calories on Saturday by running a 10-mile cross country race in the hills, finishing in 1 hr and 52 mins. Let's go guys!!

I don't know how everyone else is doing. We are having a string of great weather, it's wonderful for getting out and enjoying the fresh air while walking.

I saw on the sparkwheel topic, there were six people in a row who said they got fours. Doubt it means anything but kind of interesting.

That's funny Dewey! I had 25 on my wheel this morning! I ended up with 3...

I had a 25 today, too bad I landed on the five next to it.
LIBJAK

I have never seen 25 on my wheel. I saw 20 a couple time and spun it once but usually I get a 1 or 2.

Keep up the good work guys. If we could only get some more members it would shoot us way up!

It would be interesting to see the percentage of guys on Spark compared to women.

SJ_DEWEY

I only got 1 from the wheel, but I had a 2 hr walk in today, so I got the full 24 cardio points. That adds a big chunk to the daily point total.

Nice, I want to get 25 pts from the wheel. Only 1 today but tomorrow will be a great wheel day.
GOLFPRO

Not bad. We're sittin at #11 in the U.S.....not too shabby when you look at the number of members we have compared to the ones ahead of us. I just added 25 points for spinning the SparkPoint wheel!

Hi guys, I just moved on to stage three yesterday. I'm eager to see what I can learn next.

I haven't seen lots of weight loss, but I have been tracking my measurements, and they are showing progress which is good to keep me motivated.

With our 28 members and 25,000+ points we are in 12th place overall. Keep up the good work.
SJ_DEWEY

You got it B. What do you gain if you don't "earn" the points. We will happily welcome all members regardless of how big their point total is. Keep on losing guys.
GOLFPRO

Hey Guys,

You're all doing awesome! We're still #10 in the U.S....and the first place group has 87 members compared to our 27. I think we're doing pretty darn good. =)

Kool...we're back to #10 again, way to go guys! I may go out for a bike ride and get some cardio points added as well.

Yeah, they'd just be cheating themselves, but it also ruins the sense of competition for me. It's fun to have competition. It's not fun with cheaters.

LIBJAK

That is the biggest thing. You cant cheat yourself because when you do you lose. I have done that in the past on diets and I never did anything. Spark has got me going and I dont see myself turning back. I love the competition because it keeps me motivated to get back on the treadmill later in the evening so I can get the points.

Others will cheat and regardless of points if you see progress you are a winner!

What do you mean by cheatfest? Wouldnt they just be cheating themselves?
ROADMOYER
3/22/06 11:12 P
 
 
I just hope this doesn't turn into another 'cheat fest' ... it's fun so long as people are using their real stuff. It'll suck if people start putting in stuff just to win.

ALL RIGHT! It must be the testosterone thing, but men are WAY more competeive than most women. We should be #1 in a week or so!

Rocker....thanks buddy!!! =)


KE7CWM....click on SparkPoints at the top of the screen, then click on Groups, scroll down to the bottom and it should list the groups you're a member of. Click on 'One for the Guys', scroll down again and you should see the rankings of the Group.

Otherwise click on Leaderboards at the top of the SparkPoint Page, you'll see some options to view the leaders.

Kool.....we're getting more members...up to 9 now. I read somewhere else on the board that there will be a feature to send messages to everyone in our group. That will be great too. I know theres not many guys around here, but theres enough of us to put up some serious points if we all stick with it.

Hey guys, did you all see the new feature at the top labeled SparkPoints? Under that tab there is a section for Groups to get together and try to earn a bunch of SparkPoints as a group.

I've started a group called "One for the Guys". If you want to join you can search for that name, or you can search for group code "QPGUNHQXML". This will let us see how many points us guys can earn in a month. We can use this push one another to earn more and more points!!!
