    Nice to see so many Sparkpeople users joining me in getting used to a different format. I am disappointed with Spark but change doesn't always have to be a bad thing. I'm hoping to get some of the benefits I received from Sparkpeople here too.

    I am also switching from Sparkpeople. It is a shame they are shutting down.

    Hi. I'm coming back to MFP. I've been on SparkPeople, but never got into that. I was using LoseIt for a while. Then I joined a gym with fitness program, and they count "direct macros" so no tracker works well for that. I'm back now, but wonder is it worth the cost to go premium? $80 a year is a lot for a tracker.

    I'm a fellow former Sparker as well. I was there since 2006, and had a lot of success when I was consistently using it. :) I was heartbroken when I saw they were closing it down, and as a Canadian I couldn't participate in their new site.

    That said, I've been playing around with MFP and while it's not the same, it has a lot of similar functionality, and I like how it syncs so nicely with my Garmin.

    Hi Sparkers!!! I sent everyone a friend request. I hope we all can become friends.
    I'm doing a BINGO challenge for the whole month of July. I would love for you to join us. I have it on my blogs.. It's a place I can seem to find easily. Here's the link: https://myfitnesspal.com/blog/rondajo56/view?id=love-my-life-wl-challenge-1-month-bingo-992357#comments

    Also I belong to a group that has sparkers in it called: Needing Support with Losing Weight https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/members/140736-needing-support-with-losing-weight

    Here's another group that will help you learn your way around: Sparkers Index ;https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/140849-sparkers-index

    I seen a bunch of spark groups out there but I can't find them now.

    Same here. I'm starting to get used to this site. I'm also doing Fat Secret since half my Sparks teams went there too.

    I also will miss spark people. I was going on 15 years with them. I think it is so sad that they are closing down. They have a new on that has started,but I do not think much of it. I am staying with SP till the end. I started a group on here also. I am still trying to figure out this site. I am going to miss my teams from SP like my cancer team, Idaho team and The private one I was with. Have a lot of friends that I have gotten there private emails so we can keep in touch. I hope to get used to this site. I will really miss my food tracker that I had all my foods in with all my CALORIES, CARBS, FAT, PROTEIN, FIBER amounts. I do not know if this site lets you put the foods and nutrient amounts in. Doing a search on here does not always give you the right one. I also did a lot of my own recipes that I made from scratch with the amounts. That was another feature that you could put foods in and it figured out the
    nutrient info per serving.
    Everyone on here I hope has a great weekend and God Bless

    I was also on Sparkpeople from 2009 as jamiemarie922. I'm going to miss the blogs and messages. I made friends there and I kept up with them over the years. There are some friends that I can't contact because I don't know them outside of SP.
