    How do I go about just replying to a message? I can't figure it out. Help.

    I hit quote on the bottom or use the @ sign before the person's name. @kittensden72

    Former Spark member (ImDoinItNow on SP) who had a lot of success many years ago. Jan 1st I went to go use my old SP account and was shocked to see it not the same. So here I am now (mostly for the food logging)....I've lost 20 lb this year so far and have another 80 I'd like to lose. I am doing mostly OMAD with occasional 20:4. Not particularly keto but firm on staying within my eating window! I'm in desperate need of friends on the same or similar journey! Friend me please! Lets share food logs and ideas for intermittent fasting meals.

    Hi I'm Jen. I am a former Sparkpeople member. I'm a wife, a mom, & a cat mom. I am very new to this app and am getting a little lost here and there. I have about 70ish lbs to lose. I hope this time I can do it.
    Also, can someone tell me how to friend request someone, please? Thanks!

    Hi, I’m Bonnie. I was on SP under a similar name as here. I hadn’t been active on there in a few years. I’d love to connect with other former SP members and those who may remember me from there.

    Former Sparker here! I had no idea of the huge migration to this app that occurred. It was so sad to lose that community but I’m so happy to find you all again! Feel free to add me.
    My old SP acct was: QueenieMouse

    Hi - I'm a 65 yo woman who's trying to navigate MFP after using Spark People. Just looking for a place to go for insight and support! I have 80-90 pounds to lose. I lost 10 in November/December but then gained them back over the holidays and on my vacation - now I'm trying again (I always keep trying :) and I've lost 4. It seems so much harder at this age! Am I too old for this group?

    5% Summer Challenge is open for sign-up!

    This is the challenge that came to MFP after 11 years on Spark People! We are eager to welcome new challengers from MFP as well as Spark People refugees!

    Here are a few testimonials from our members:

    dbeau57 - How many 5% Challenges have you done? Too many to count! But I love them!

    shannshine1 - How many 5% Challenges have you done? A few, but never here. I was on SparkPeople before it changed format. I had some wonderful people on my team! There was great camaraderie, a true spirit, and solidarity, full of encouragement and kindness.

    Sunrisedancer1 - Anything else you would like to share? I am so happy that the leaders of these groups found a way to continue this on MFP!!! I love the challenge and the group!
