Hi MNNICE,
Yes, they are sometimes hard to remember. I have the WW books here so I usually go by their portion sizes. If you ever have a question on something, I can look it up for you.

IT's always a little hard to tell exactly what constitutes one serving of fruits/veggies. I believe an apple is 2 servings, while an orange is 1. A cup of strawberries is 1, while 1/2 c. blueberries is 1. I'm sure I sometimes overestimate and sometimes underestimate, so it probably averages out. I know I've seen a chart somewhere that spells it out, but I can't find it now -- so will do my best to come as close as I can.

Just keep tracking as you have been. Look at our Team goals section of our team page and it will say either sign up now or track now if you have already tracked it. Our team just starts at zero every 1st of the month.

After the first time you click the track now on our team, you can just go to your spark points page and click 'other goals' and it will take you to the goals you have chosen to track.

I hope that all makes sense.

I don't think it's counting if I mark something after midnight my time. I was pretty much on Ron's weird schedule and wasn't marking things sometimes until after midnight, and it wasn't showing up on my streaks.

1. We want to beat The 40 Something Maintainers in
the Spark point Department.
So we need to go to our spark page everyday and really
rack up the points!
(Plus the advantage to you will be so much more
knowledge for your healthy weight loss/maintenance journey!)
2. More of our members need to join in our TEAM GOALS.
We have 433 members and only a fraction are participating.
All these goals help our team as a whole, but also as individuals
they will help us in achieving our own goals!!
3. More members need to sign on for the streaking to give yourself
the extra motivation to keep going and compete
against your team mates to be the best you can be!

to see some of you have signed up for the team goals!

Tips I found:
1. Make sure and click on the left (the title of the goal and it will give you more information on how to post. It may say 30 minutes of exercise or 8 glasses of water in the title, but you are to post how many you did whether you go over or under. (As a team we are trying to meet our goal)

2. These goals are like a challenge against each other and also to see if as a team we can reach our goal for the month.

3. To get your ticker tape going with the goals you are participating in:

Go to your SP start page. Down in the middle left hand side is 'my streaks', click there. It will take you to a page where you can manage your teams goals and other things you want to track. Here you can click if you want to share you goals with the team--click on here if you want to have your ticker tape going for the team goals.

Any questions with the team goals or streaks, you can post the questions here.

Hope these help.

~TEAM GOALS~

This is a new feature of Sparks that came out in April. We are starting it June 1st.
____________________________________

~What Are Team Goals:
With Team Goals, SparkTeam Leaders can set up to 5 goals for
members of their Team. Team members can then choose to
"Join" the goal.
When they do this, they get the goal added to their "Other Goals" page,
and then their tracking totals go towards Team totals.
We think this will make SparkTeams even more helpful and fun!

~How to Use Team Goals:
You can go to any SparkTeam page and find the "Team Goals" section
under the Team Forums.
You can then see any goals the leader has set.

When you want to become part of the goal, just click "Join Goal."
As mentioned above, the goal will now be added to your Other Goals page.
Note however that if your Team sets a Fitness Minutes or SparkPoints goal,
you will automatically be part of that goal, since everyone on SparkPeople
tracks Fitness Minutes and SparkPoints.


We realize that this is a big feature, and it may take seeing and trying
it to fully understand. But, we think members will love it once you give it a try!
