We're very excited to share with you a new feature that's been in the works for quite some time—SparkCoach! A virtual planner and so much more, SparkCoach is designed to help you prioritize your day, reach goals in all areas of life and make changes that will be sustainable for a lifetime. Much more than just reading information, SparkCoach will lead you through an easy-to-follow For new members, this program will show prominently as a checklist on your Start page; existing members can turn on the feature by clicking on "Account/Email Preferences" at the top left of your Start page and scrolling down to the box that says "Use New Start Page with SparkCoach". You can switch back and forth at any time, so there's no downside to checking it out! Each day, you'll be able to read a coaching lesson, track tasks on the site, add new tasks (from a list of prompts or your own ideas) and prioritize these tasks, checking each one off as you go. Use this feature to get organized and make the most of your day, learning more about what motivates you to set goals and follow through for maximum success.  The daily lessons are meant to feel like our coaches are there with you every step of the way. Some are even interactive to really get you thinking about your journey to health. For example, one lesson early in the program asks you to think about why you want to get healthy. Your answer will be displayed on the top of your program page throughout the 28 days as a constant reminder of why you're making this commitment. For those of you who have been members for a while, you might remember that our Premium Coaching program used to be called SparkCoach. Not to be confused, this SparkCoach program is something new and totally different. What do you have to lose? Check out SparkCoach today and see what the excitement is all about!

A link to the Friend Feed and Completing Daily Calendar Challenges should be added back to the list. Report
We have a made a few changes based on your feedback:
1. Under your username on the top left of your Start page, it now says "Edit Goals and Preferences" If you hover over that, you'll see you can edit your nutrition, fitness and weight goals, as well as get to the preferences page for your emails, etc.
2. The Community homepage (click on Community at the top of the page, go to Community Home) now has a number of the Quick Links that used to be on the Start page. You'll be able to access your Friend Feed here.
3. If you click on My Trackers, then select My Weight, you can edit your weight goal from the top of that page as well.
Hope that helps!

I've passed along the request to add those Quick Links back to this new version of the Start page, so we'll see what happens. We also brought up the fact that you can't edit your weight goal, so our tech folks are aware of that issue.
Thanks for giving the new feature a try and for providing feedback!

Another feature I'd like is a link from the daily "3 things I'm grateful for" task to a place on my personal page where I could record these. It would be great if there were an option to make this daily list either public or private.
Thank you for all the effort you put into trying to give us the best possible experience on the site. We appreciate you! Report
