Hello! Long time MFP user and Spark. Bummed that they are closing and I'll miss the community. Changed my life in 2011 when I got serious about getting healthy and fit and over time lost about 85 lbs and have kept it off for over 8 years. Still going strong. Looking forward to meeting others and hope my former Sparkers join!7

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.3

Hello. I was on Sparkpeople for about 10 years. I am continuing my journey here. So glad I am not along. We are all in this together.

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.2

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 couldnβt 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 wasnβt my thing.
As a disabled person, fitness events and fun runs really arenβt my thing. And Iβm rural. So the focus on urban areas just didnβt 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 Iβm down 30 lbs. the doctor was absolutely shocked. She said βthis never happens!β 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.4 -
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 am karenmarie. I am candok1260 on spark and here. I join Spark America but haven't done much with it . I am enjoying mfp.2

Sorry for the extra post. I am still learning the site.0

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. OoPs1

I am Winterflower from SP where I started in 2007 intermittently then switched to MFP. I used the MFP app regularly for a long time with success but changes came with the Under Armor buy out and I switched back fully to SP in 2016 where I have enjoyed many years of fun and fitness, and success, particularly with the BLC Scarlet Dragons team.
Iβm trying FatSecret, MFP, and Spark360 to find a new home before the shutdown. Iβm not sure where I will land but keeping up with all 3 probably wonβt work well. Iβm also checking out Spark groups on FB which are forming. SP offered so muchβ¦.very sad for itβs demise.2 -
Hi all, I'm MinnieUK from SP. I'm new here and giving it a try. Good to find a group of fellow Sparkers!1

Hi SP friends!
I'm back to let y'all know that the Biggest Loser Challenge from SP IS moving here to MFP. If you are interested in joining us, we start the next round September 1st, I believe.
Time to register is now!!! Send me a personal message if interested. We have lots of teams to choose from - I'm sure you can find the right accountability group for you! I'm on the Fuchsia Beauties International team, and we're a very supportive team. We have room on our team for members working on a healthy lifestyle!
I hope you all are settling in here at MFP. I think we'll like it as soon as we get used to it.
All my best for your health,
Rachelle
