    I was so glad to find this group after Spark shut down! I just logged my first meal on here (today's breakfast) and looking forward to making progress.

    Hello!! My name is Joellen, but I prefer to be called Jo or JoJo. I used to use My fitness pal years ago and then lost my motivation. I decided to sign up again and when I did, it logged me in to my old account! I have lost 80 pounds since the last time I logged in back in 2012! I decided that I really need to log my food and water and I also need to be held accountable for things that I do and also for the things I should be doing but I’m not! I’m happy to be back!!

    Hello!

    We are so excited to see so many new faces in the MyFitnessPal community that have landed here. We've created this thread in hopes that it helps former SparkPeople members with finding their friends on this new to them site.

    Please feel free to introduce yourself, welcome new members and share links to popular threads and groups.

    Many people are going back to Sparkpeople after the recent changes to MFP which make it the opposite of user friendly. Navigating between Forums and the main is time consuming. Going back to a landing page each time we want to post had many throwing in the towel.

    Are the sponsors losing money now that people are giving up on the number of forums they previously contributed to?

    I do NOT know any MFP former Sparkers leaving now. My group is thoroughly enjoying MFP and we hope they keep making further enhancements. Spark aka PeopleOne is not a forum-friendly site for user interaction.

    Likewise for the 5% Seasonal Challenge. We were an active bunch on Spark for nearly 12 years. We have made a successful transition to MFP and are thankful to be welcomed by MFP Staff. Thank you @Betty and other staff members who have been so helpful to answer questions and guide us along.

    Our Fall Challenge is in its last week but our community will continue to be active until Winter 2022. Please feel free to join us.

    Good Morning former Sparkpeople!
    Comforting to read the comments here.
    Some names I recognize.
    It's silly I suppose but I miss my spark page. I used to change the banner with the changing seasons. My spark page was my little go to place most mornings.
    Weird, I know. Lol
    Struggling with weight loss but can't give up.
