    Spent over a year and a half on SP, lost 70 ish - so I say yeah, but not as friendly as here or as user friendly as here. I'm here now, lost another 20 ish lbs - so both are working for me. and you?

    I didn't appreciate the spam that I got from "Sparkz people" in my email... or however that awful site is called. I edited settings, still got spammed. Had to stop using the email just for that reason. No.

    calorie counting is calorie counting...they're just a way of keeping a diary, that's pretty much it...kind of like this hammer vs that hammer...it's a *kitten* hammer.

    Have you ever tried using a 12 oz. hammer to frame a house? What about using a sledge hammer to drive a picture hanger? Your opinion is slightly flawed.... but I still get it.

    Nothing really bad with SP, it's just I find MFP easier to use. MFP has a much cleaner and simpler website that I hope they don't much around with too much. Sparkpeople's UI was just too...busy. That was a few years ago so maybe it has changed.

    "Spark People" sounds like a cult. What is up with that name.

    It's almost like a Facebook diet/exercise site.
