Hi - I'm a 65 yo woman who's trying to navigate MFP after using Spark People. Just looking for a place to go for insight and support! I have 80-90 pounds to lose. I lost 10 in November/December but then gained them back over the holidays and on my vacation - now I'm trying again (I always keep trying and I've lost 4. It seems so much harder at this age! Am I too old for this group? 0

5% Summer Challenge is open for sign-up!
This is the challenge that came to MFP after 11 years on Spark People! We are eager to welcome new challengers from MFP as well as Spark People refugees!
Here are a few testimonials from our members:
dbeau57 - How many 5% Challenges have you done? Too many to count! But I love them!
shannshine1 - How many 5% Challenges have you done? A few, but never here. I was on SparkPeople before it changed format. I had some wonderful people on my team! There was great camaraderie, a true spirit, and solidarity, full of encouragement and kindness.
Sunrisedancer1 - Anything else you would like to share? I am so happy that the leaders of these groups found a way to continue this on MFP!!! I love the challenge and the group!

Hi my name is Ginger! I was on Sparkpeople since 2008. It taught me a lot and I had stayed 60lbs lighter for years. But the last year had been pretty awful and gained 100+ pounds, most came from my mother passing away last year from a tragic car accident, I weighed myself today and I am the heaviest I have ever been! I hope to find the same community and guidance here. So I tart today with dedicated logging! Nice to meet everyone.7

Hi ladies I too was a Sp member for about 10 yrs. Good to see you all here. Since leaving SP I developed a under active thyroid and type 2 diabetes. I have a new Dr coaching me on my diet and helping me reverse my diabetes. More importantly he and his nurse love MFP and we’re happy I was choosing to join here. With there support and the support of members I know I can do this. I too will be supportive of your efforts. Please be my new friend. Ty Debbie from Ohio2

Have been missing SP since they left us hanging. After all that time and not being able to get back on track, I knew I had to make some app work! MFP is it. 2 weeks in, 4 lbs gone and I'm getting used to the app. Paid for SP, so trying the free trial and planning to pay for MFP. Going all in. Glad to see this group. Good luck to you all.3

Hello everyone. On SP, I was known as Yiche12 but here on MFP, I simply added a nine so I go by Yiche912. I was on SP for over 12 years but transitioned here quite nicely. The more I use this site, the more I like it. I am happy to see that this group has been formed so I can easily find my old SP friends.2

Hello, thank you for the warm welcome. I am a newbie here on MFP and signed up a few days ago. I have been with Spark-People under "LilCountyMouse "for 10 years and missing that support. I find that I do better when I am accountable, support, and comraderies. Looking forward to hearing from you.0

Hi! I'm a former Sparkpeople user too (HealthySpark - but that one is taken here, so I did the next best option). I'm so glad to see that people have migrated here to MFP. I'm brand new to the site today, so learning how to navigate and find stuff. Hoping to run into old friends (and meet new ones!).1

I'm glad to be here as a SparkPeople transfer. I'm through the learning curve of MyFitnessPal and doing well.

I too am a former SparkPeople person! I really do like myfitnesspal! It's been eye opening. I am also a WW lifetime for 10 years plus. I gained 15 after knee surgery (still at ww goal though) And I really really want it off! I mean business now I'd love for anyone to add me and motivate me. 3

Hello! I was restlessoul on Spark, and was a faithful user back in the day. More recent years I had gone over to ww and did some yo-yoing (the pandemic was horrible for me). I'm back here now and didn't even know SP was gone until I saw this thread. I see now its called SparkAmerica and it completely abandoned us Canadians....so MFP it is.2

I miss sparkpeople, they had lots of excellent features. I really like the simplicity of myfitnesspal though!1
