I just read about this challenge and thought it was a wonderful idea! I started on Monday, May 7th, so we'll see how much I have saved up by the end of May. I might use the money on a new outfit or maybe roll it over for something bigger. I haven't made up my mind yet! LOL

Yes, I am still doing it. I have saved Dec and Jan, and I am working on Feb now. I will post my totals at the end of Feb. I hope to continue to do this all year. So far, so good! I hope you will get in on it, too.

Still doing this. I do not know my total, but I will know at the end of the month. I started in December, and I hope I will keep it up through the rest of the year.

Ended December with 1492 points - not as high as I would have liked, but I was terrribly remiss about logging my food. Now it's a new year, and I am starting out strong with a new program to focus on my nutrition for my running goals. Logging the meals should be fairly easy and consistent, so I am hoping to see a much higher point total in January! Fun challenge!!!

Yes, you are right...The important thing is that we are doing all that we are doing in order to earn all of those SparkPoints. The more healthy things we do...the more SparkPoints we get...and, the more SparkPoints we get...the more money we save. Sounds like a win-win situation to me! Take care, and Best Wishes in reaching all of your goals.

thanks Pam - it's a nice addiction - but even more so that I'm high on Fitness Minutes AND gaining control of my nutrition.
It has been a wonderful 6 weeks and how exciting to have 52 ahead of me. Just imagine what it will be like Jan 1, 2013. Well, better yet, just imagine what the rest of today brings. :)

That's GREAT CRYSTALROSE. I checked my SparkPoints total for this month and so far it shows that I have about $36.00. That is how I am going to keep up with the total amount, by checking the end of the month SparkPoints. Let's see $36.00 x 12 = $432.00. I sure hope I will continue this throughtout all of 2012. Best Wishes to ALL! Let's DO IT!!!!

I do not know how much I have accumulated, but I have been faithfully doing this every day this month. I will record my total when I get it counted. My total will be boosted a little because I rounded the totals off so that I wouldn't have so many pennies in the jar. Best wishes to everyone for a FANTASTIC NEW YEAR!!!!!!

REMEMBER YOU CAN JOIN IN THIS CHALLENGE AT ANYTIME DURING THE MONTH. NEW TEAM PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOMED!!
THIS CHALLENGE WILL START ON (THURSDAY) DECEMBER 1ST.
This is a great way to turn those sparkpoints into money!!
This challenge will go until the end of December.
At the end of each month, you can decide to carry your penny savings over to the next month, or spend it on YOU. If you decide to carry it over, that's ok, because it will eventually be spend on YOU. This is to reward yourself for the goals you have met, even if you don't meet all your goals, we will still celebrate the ones we did.
HOW WILL IT WORK:
Each day, you will strive to get as many points as you can get, including from the spark wheel. You will take a penny for each point and put it in a jar. You can label it SAVINGS JAR. Some days you may only get 50 points to equal 50 cents. Other days, maybe a hundred points to equal $1. It's up to you on how much you make each day.
I will start a new thread each month so that we can track our progress.
You can start anytime, so if you are new, yes, you can join in, just start right now, with today.
You can carry your money over to January and make your money grow....OR....you can spend your money and buy something just for YOU!!!
LET'S SEE HOW MANY PENNIES WE CAN GET INTO OUR JARS!!!
