    Still Steffy2016 on SP for 2 more weeks. I need to finish my challenge, then I'm out before it kicks me out.
    It is changing from SP.to Spark America and when I enter my postal code it says US residents only. :(

    Glad to see another SP member, welcome. I am doing all three right now. Lots of posting for me but at 76 and always home I have nothing else to do. God Bless you on your journey.

    Thank you! I am just happy I have somewhere to go. I look forward to joining some challenges on this platform later on. I saw a few I may be interested in.

    Hi! I am also a SP transplant. I was Trish261 there. I was off and on there since 2007. I was so upset to hear a few days ago that SP was going away. I understand why, I suppose, but I am still upset because I spent so much time adding all my foods, recipes and such there. I paid the membership fee every month and everything. I went onto the Spark America and my city was there but I have found I don't like it very much so decided to look for alternatives.

    It is so nice to see all of you joining me here. Yes it will get easier to post our foods and exercising. Just like everything else things change. We can all just talk and remember the good times on Spark People and the good friends we had and the ones that have passed. I am doing better today after ny shot in my back yesterday. Good luck to everyone and I really hope we all do post more often then a lot did on SP.

    (June 11) Greetings - it is nice to have a group from SP here to keep the flow going - hoping that this group will be active - and so far it looks like it will be.

    Day 6 here at MFP and Day 14 of following my food plan - and all is well. Have lost 5.5 pounds so far for June. When I tracked my food this morning MFP told me that if I eat like I am today that in 5 weeks I will be down another 9 pounds - of course I am going to just eat as today as it will be nice to see that weight off.

    Have a great day everyone

    Hi, I just closed my SP account ๐Ÿ˜”. Not a happy day because I did enjoy SP and was just starting to make friends and navigate around the site. I tried the 360 and SparkAmerica but wasn't impressed. My SP name was kalyoness.
    Have a great day ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒท

    So how is everyone doing - there sure are a lot of SP members here on MFP - a number of groups have been started with SP members in mind. Glad everyone is find a 'home' to come to

    What's happening in your part of the world? How is your weight progress going for June? Anyone here with a lot to lose? Or how about those on maintenance?

    Lots of questions right - just interested in getting to know all of you

    Good evening all, I was a long time member of SP, today I finished deleting my blogs from there, and have started blogging here. I was majork29 on SP and here. I had an account years ago that I was able to reactivate.

    Hi !! I'm Deb and have been on SP since 2011. I am so very sad that they are shutting it down. I joined Spark360 and Sparkamerica too, but am not impressed with any of it so far. I think they are still working on Spark360, but I am not holding out any great expectations. I hope that this site will be a good one to help take the sting of losing SP away. It is nice to meet everyone from the site. I am a member of the Dealing with Depression Team too from SP. This site is getting a huge influx of people from Sparkpeople. I hope that this site can be a boon in its own right. Have a terrific Thursday !! Take care and God bless, Deb :)<3

    @highalpine1 = is there a possibility that you could start a 'chat room' thread in the discussion - that way when a SP member joins that can come to this Hi Spark Friends thread to say they are from SP and then come to the chat room to start up some discussions - just a suggestion as it seems right now we are all just coming to say we are here - but where does this group go from there

    If you know how to set one up that would be great. I really do not know how to do a lot of things like that on a computer.
