When I started last week on SparkPeople.com, the site had SO much information it seemed overwhelming. But using the SparksPoints page helped me explore the wealth of resources here, and have fun gaining points in the process!

I've been using the same "trick" to keep exploring this useful site. A piece of warning: it can be addicting (in a good way). ;)

I agree. I can certainly do SOMETHING every day. There are plenty of tiny challenges. Even spinning the wheel is a simple enough draw to check in.
