Invite your friends, neighbors, coworkers or clients to meet weekly to get healthier. Set and report on Fast Break and other goals. In my group of 6 people, I'm the only one who uses the computer. But the other 5 use the printed meal plans and grocery lists. I present a topic each week based on a Spark article or two. So, even though I planned for a SparkTeam on the computer that has not materialized, every team member lost weight in January, and I'm back to my happy weight! It helped all of us!

My Shape Shifting SparkTeam includes a Shape Shifter's Daily Diary forum thread, where team members can post daily Challenges, Intentions, Triumphs and Makeovers.
Write everyday : a blog, a personal journal, on your SparkTeam message board, or elsewhere. Writing down your feelings and goals and successes really helps to motivate yourself.

Communicate with your SparkTeam members - they can give you support and encouragement.
I was living in total terror of anything financial. By the end of June 2009 I had generated thousands of dollars in overdraft fees and lost thousands of dollars in expired unfiled medical insurance claims. And I had accumulated $40,000 in debt.
In desperation I joined Debtors Anonymous in July '09. Since then I have neither incurred any overdraft fees nor have I missed any insurance claims. Working DA's 12-Step program I have learned how to live within my means one day-at-a-time.
