This is a great idea - I will be back to post the names of the groups I am involved with and if possible I will add the link to them for easy access - now just hope I can do it all in one message!

besshaile

Thanks, Betty! I'm going to spread the word about this thread. I bet a lot of folk would like to catch up with their former Spark Friends. I was besshaile on Spark but I did have a different avatar photo. LOL - this is a self portrait sketch of me, but if I can find the old image I might load it for a while just so anyone who wanted to find me can. I'm mostly over on SunnyBeachMaintainers which is the old At Goal and Maintaining or getting ready for maintenance group.

Here is a link to one of the groups created on here that are not specific to a Team or any type of diet or eating plan.

There will be some challenges but no one is expected to be in them to be a part of the team. We are a private team for your support and welcome former Sparkers and referrals.

Please feel free to join us. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/140805-spark-people-friends

YareliiSpark

So glad to see this thread! I was Yarelii on Spark People, tried 360 and didn't care for it, and have been pretty impressed with the functionality of MFP! I was pretty new to SparkPeople, only to have it shut down. Glad to see I'm not alone here. Hope to build community and help each other!

What a thoughtful message! Thank You, Betty! We are grateful to MFP for the warm welcome and the ability to stay connected with old friends. Anyone looking for the 5% Fall Challenge? We are here, learning the ways of this site. The planes are in the hangars and leaders were invited to the "Captains Lounge" today. There is still plenty of time to reserve a seat before we take off for our first destination.

MAREE19532021

Hello everyone and thank you, Betty, for the kind words of welcome. Some might remember me as a leader of the At Goal and Maintaining or Transitioning to Maintaining SP Team. I had to add 2021 to my former SP name. Great to see everyone!

Hi all! I’m a fellow refugee from SP. I was also Fairhavenqueen there. I followed my Maintenance team to this site, and am learning my way around. Very grateful for all the wonderful friendships made on SP, and so glad not to lose them!!

nbruns83

I'm another former Sparker, from the 5% challenges. I used to be NancyPauline. Thanks for the MFP welcome.

Retired_Sue

My mfp name is almost the same as my former SP name - RETIREDSUE. I joined MFP shortly after learning that SP was going to be shut down so that I could start to learn my way around. I'm on the Sunny Beach Maintainers group, 5% challenge group. SP friends, and Calling all Canadians groups here - areas where I'm able to keep up with many of my SP friends and meet some new "former SP" friends.

Mellobee_

Former Sparker here! I was Melobee my last time on SP and also spent a lot of time there as RIIDER. Hi everyone!

Goodgollygee

I am also a former Sparker. It didn't dawn on me to use my old Spark name here so I kept trying to enter new names and everything kept getting rejected (already in use) until I got frustrated and just entered: Goodgollygee
and it worked!

CSEGUIN2

Hi Everyone, I am from Sparkspeople. I was CSEGUIN2 there as well. The SP - TOPS in MFP was the group we brought over from Sparks but have lost many members. Any and all TOPS members are welcome!

tyenovkian

Betty, what a nice welcome. I'm new to MFP, I waited until SP shut down, but missed my 5% Challenge Teams. Was on SP for over 9 years. Same name on both.
