Current Status:
SPARKGUY whew, just finished both interviews. They mailed me a special audio box that made it feel like my home office was a recording studio. Thanks to SP members Leah, Vivian, and Flossie for their help!

Profile

Member Since: 11/19/2001

SparkPoints: 35355

SparkAmerica Minutes: 23791

My Goals:
1) Working on my new and improved fitness streak! I'm currently at 170 days, headed towards 200 if I can! (remember, this isn't extreme - I only need 10 minutes to keep the streak alive)



2) Make SparkPeople into a company that helps millions of people (I'm the Founder and CEO of the company and am passionate about helping people reach their goals!).

My Program:
 I do a well-rounded fitness program that I can fit into a very hectic lifestyle (having a young company and 2 young boys is challenging!) - most of my fitness program can be done at home. This includes cardio, strength (mostly pushups, crunches, lunges, body squats, and other body weight exercises), sprints and jump rope, stretching, and tennis-specific practice.

My wife helps me eat fairly healthy and I help motivate her on fitness - we're a good team!

Personal Information:
I live with my wonderful wife Karina in the San Francisco Bay Area (even though SparkPeople is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio and that will always be my hometown).

Other Information:
 My wife Karina and I have 2 young and active boys. I love seeing them mimic my exercise. Some of our best quality time is exercising together, they love exercising - especially bouncing on a mini-trampoline.

Good morning, Chris :)

I got your comment, and yes, that is the perfect word... a revolution indeed!

I just saw the news clip that aired on My Fox Houston and thought it was fantastic! I got so excited that I posted the following comment on their website as my contribution to the SparkRevolution:

"AHealthierMe9
I have to tell you all that SparkPeople has changed my life, changed my attitude towards my weight, changed my perception from being one of dieting to being one of living a healthful lifestyle and putting my best foot forward in all aspects of my life. I've made some wonderful friends, received lots of support, and have received an incredible education at the same time!

The creator, Chris Downie, and his team have truly given the world a tremendous gift here.

It is truly a one-of-a-kind resource with every single tool a person needs in order to set goals and succeed. AMAZING!"

Hi Chris!!!

Thank you SOOOO much for the honor and opportunity to represent sparkpeople on a much larger scale than in my day to day life. I appreciate the experience, it was AWESOME! I also appreciate the bound manuscript of the book. It has the wheels spinning in my mind like crazy. How can I take my experience and help others on a larger scale? That is what I am asking myself these days. I know the answers will come. I LOVE presenting publically and hope to sharpen my skills to become a GREAT public speaker. I know that SP had a hand in getting me to this point and I am very excited about the next steps. I will be using "The Spark" as a reference on how to move forward.

Thank you for your vision. You have changed so many lives and I know that I will forever be grateful to this site and the community for helping me through the toughest time I have ever had to endure.

You are going to be a BEST SELLING AUTHOR!! I can't wait to see your success flourish!

Enjoy the journey!
Leah

Hey Chris!! It was my pleasure to help "back you up" and would do it anytime! It is not a small achievement to reach so many people and help so many get back to the basics of living their lives to achieve great things and to understand obesity can be beat! AND IT CAN!
