    Hello Fellow Sparkers! I hope we can all find our place here at My Fitness Pal! I too was on Spark for 14 years and am looking forward to getting acclimated to this site and finding the support that is helpful to staying on our healthy living journey!

    Nice to see you here - I'm tracking in multiple worlds but I think this will be my primary one - it just depends where some of the challenges end up!

    HI- fellow Spark Sistas! Happy to find some of you! I'm still on SP til they close but figured I better stat looking around some of the other sites. Hopefully this one works for me.

    I'm also a Sparker. I like the food database here better. I weigh all of my food and I often have to make a new entry on SP because their food database doesn't know how to calculate serving sizes. I'm sad to leave because I'd been on SP since 2008 and it helped me a lot. However, the things I liked about it are available here, too.

    My name on there was syzygy922. I'm glad to see some familiar names here! I have some SP friends who haven't logged in for years now and I wonder if they'll find their way here.

    Hi I’m here from SparkPeople too. It was a way of life for me since 2013 , and I felt some kind of way that they’re closing it down.I’m Vlrprks on Spark. However life does go on and I’ve started adjusting to MFP. The database like you said for food is way better here. I’ll miss spinning the Spark wheel but the point of all was to be consistent with using the tracking of goals. I thank Spark for that and I’ll continue it here. I kinda wilded out last week with my food because of that disappointment as well as personal stuff going on. Then I realized that I’ll just keep going , and that getting used to something new is a part of life. Nice meeting fellow Sparkers here! I wish you the best in your journey. I’m sending you a friend request.

    Yup, I'm here from Spark. I'm sad they are shutting down, 13 years on there, a lot of relationships that have helped me on this journey. So far MFP, seems ok.

    Totally right - the food tracker is SOOOOOOOOOO much better!! Wish I’d switched ages ago. I’m missing the community a bit so love this idea of building our own 😊. Now to see if keyboard emojis actually work on MFP….🤣

    Came over from SP too. I guess we are going to try to do the BLC here, since SP is closing their website on us.
