Moving from Sparkpeople

Hello😊 I was on Sparkpeople for years. Glad to have you over here. I have found that I really like all of the extras with tracking nutritional content.

I am moving from SparkPeople as well.I was there for a good number of years .Slowly getting use to MFP.

Moving from Sparkpeople! I hate they are closing it down, but was needing new inspiration anyway!

Hi, I'm also coming over from SparkPeople after years of being on there and leading teams. I will miss it so much. I hope that between this site and Fitbit I can find what works for me. I am working hard to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle to be active and young at heart. I love reading my Bible as my faith is very important to me as well as my family. My attitude is to Love God and Love others. Be kind always and put a smile on people's faces and make a difference in their lives. I have several animals - dogs, cats and chickens. They are life to me and so therapeutic! My dogs help me to stay active especially our Great Pyrenees pup, Yuuki. It is so important to do what you love activity wise because then it is just a natural thing and doesn't seem like work. I hope to meet others with similar interests and goals.

I'm also from SP. My friends on there were mostly inactive, so I hope to make friends here. Feel free to add me.

It's been fourteen years on SparkPeople for me, also. Now that I've managed to get most of the information (profile, blogs/journal and recipes) saved, I can concentrate on learning a new social network and getting healthier. I'm most grateful to the 5% challenge teams that made the move, which ultimately will be made up a a number of teams competing for our great fitness minutes and building of a number of healthy Living The Good Life (LTGL) habits (like staying hydrated, quality sleep, fiber, tracking, or decluttering, etc). These fitness minutes and healthy habits have yielded points that get our teams around the world . . . just another added level of form, function, and fun! Looking forward to discovering if I can find some good faith-based groups, as well. My best to all the great newbies who have made the jump to try to learn a new network. We can do this! -- EJOY-EVELYN

Hi I too was oN SPARKPEOPLE

I am here from spark. Still adjusting to MFP but it looks like it will help me with my journey to better health

I'm another Sparkpeople user. 14 years for me. I am really going to miss it, but looking forward to continuing on here. Glad to see so many of us here! Just joined here today, so I will be learning it all.

Another spark person here.

Has anyone checked out the new spark america after spark people closed down?
Does anyone know if more will be added for the individual user? It seems for now anyway the individual user can only track and read articles. No community so far that I can see. It also looks like eventually the individual WILL have to join a team whether it be a city or workplace. I'm not clear on that. ???

Would appreciate any input anyone has on this.

I would be willing to give spark america another try if there was more options for the individual.

TIA

Hope you enjoy your time with MFP!

I was on Sparkpeople for 15 years on and off and it was great! I was very sad to hear it was going away, but it has turned out well for me. I discovered I needed a change. I joined MyFitnessPal several years ago just to try it out, but when I found out about SP, I moved over here and have lost 6 pounds! The change has been good for me! Hope you all like it here and have much success!

Another former Spark member here. I actually started logging on MFP over a year ago since found it easier than Spark, but haven't used other features until now.
