Yes. A new member just listed me as a referral, and I don't recognize the name -- I think it was a lady at Jazzercise who said she needed stability ball exercises, so I emailed the link to the instructer and had her forward it.

I spread the spark a few hours ago. At my office there is a Biggest Loser contest between co-workers and 3 other offices. I saw that my office hasn't lost much weight yet. (I am carrying my team ;-)
Any way, I sent out an office wide(100+ people) suggesting the use of Spark! My office manager sent me a personal email thanking me for the info and for encouraging others. I have had 3 co-workers ask for more details already!

I've gotten sixty-five people to sign up. Not all are still active, of course. Still, that's a pretty decent number.
My employer is having a health-wellness fair tomorrow. They're making changes to the health insurance plan this year, giving people discounts for reaching several health benchmarks (normal B/P, lipids in the blood, hip/waist ratio) and they're offering Gruve devices to people to track their exercises, for a nominal fee. The health fair will have people there from our health insurer, American Heart association, a yoga studio and workout center across the street from our office building, etc. I've been asked to be there making a presentation about SparkPeople. I hope to get a lot of people interested enough to sign up. I plan to have the site's flyers and cards to hand out, and I'll have a laptop where I can show people some of the highlights of how the site works and demonstrate some of the cool tools. There are some how-to videos on the site (explaining the fitness and nutrition trackers, for example) which I plan to show.
Wish me luck!
Not all those who wander are lost.

I must have seen SP on the web because none of my coworkers or friends know about this site. I joined because I wanted to spin the wheel. Now I'm an active member because I'm serious about losing weight.

I told my doctor and she wrote it down and thanked me. I've told alot of people but I think she is somebody who will really share it with others.

I shared the website with all of the 10 ladies with whom I work. Three created login id's. One has become as involved and enthusiastic as I am. She and I encourage each other every day. It is great to have the support network that this site provides.

Many dieters love 100-calorie snack packs, which allow them to easily control portions while enjoying their favorite foods. But just how healthy are these snacks?
This recipe makes quite a bit, so you can take half of the remaining chicken mixture and sauce and make soup. See "sour cream chicken enchilada soup" that I also submitted.
