    I am sad to see Spark go as well. Was off and on since 2007. I made a Spark America account, but as of yet, I don't like it very well. Another SP member mentioned this site, so here I am. :)

    Hi... I was on Sparkpeople for about 10 years over which I lost a total of 60Kgs. I have put back on about 10kg in the last 18months and logged back in to do something about it. I was stunned Sparkpeople had been part of my life for so long. I understand they have to pay people but restricting the new system to the U.S. means here I am.

    I was Margaret Yakoda on SparkPeople and so here I am.

    I was able to lose well over 100lbs a bit over a decade ago on SP. I had some things happen. Epic things. And I gained again. Not as much. But I was well on my way there.

    In February, after much medical neglect, I woke up and couldn’t feel my toes. Which was a bit concerning. And my A1C was elevated. So, back to SparkPeople I went.

    I lost 28 lbs there. But then the announcement. And I checked out the new site and it just wasn’t my thing.

    As a disabled person, fitness events and fun runs really aren’t my thing. And I’m rural. So the focus on urban areas just didn’t seem like it would work for me.

    I do have to credit SparkPeople for my Dr visit yesterday. My 3 month diabetic checkup. My A1C is now at the very top of normal. And I’m down 30 lbs. the doctor was absolutely shocked. She said “this never happens!” And showed me off to the nurses. It was kind of weird LOL but I knew it was meant as a compliment.

    Anyhow. Here I am. More weight to lose, and then I will need to be absolutely vigilant about maintenance.

    Hello SparkFriends!!! I will miss SparkPeople, but I am ready to make the change. Change is good! I was a member of the Biggest Loser Challenge (BLC) on SP, and it may be moving here. If so, I'll revisit the thread with a notice - hope you'll think about joining us!!!

    I was on Sparkpeople on and off since 2013. It really helps me manage my blood sugar. I wasn't thrilled with their strategy to shut down without having the new site ready to go. Bad news for them, I think I like this app better. OoPs
