    I had checked out Sparkpeople and found the food database too small and the site too confusing. Welcome and good luck.:drinker:

    I tried spark and not only is mfp easier to use but the meals and products i eat are already in the database. That has really motivated me to track my food.

    Good luck :smile:
    I was on Sparkpeople a year ago. It worked fine for me,but this site is 100% better. I have gained weight back over the winter,so am ready to get it all off and feel better about myself.

    Didn't care for SparkPeople either. I couldn't really understand it & didn't think it was easy to use. I'm loving this site though :)

    Hi, and welcome! I used the sparkpeople phone app first, but the databases and website sync on mfp were much better. I lost 20 lbs from Feb to Dec on SP, and already 25 more just since Dec when I switched. MFP definitely works better for me!. :happy:

    I think there are a lot of people who have tried it...I did and did not like it. This is a wonderful site, and hey it has helped me lose 51 pounds I say results speak for themselves...not to take anything away from me lol I busted my *kitten*, but I would not have gotten here this fast without the wonderful people here. Good luck!

    I'm another refugee from Sparkpeople. I like MFP so much better. It's easier to use and navigate and as everyone else has said--the food database is way better. I am so glad I found MFP --you need to just jump right in and find some buddies and work it!

    I used sparkpeople for awhile and found it very confusing. I'm having a much better time using MFP.

    I agree I also found Spark People to be more of a very low calorie community... LOL

    I only ever used Sparkpeople for their exercise routines they offer on their site, which I still think some are pretty good. But everything else was kinda cheesy. Ahwell.

    Welcome.

    LOVE the flags and welcome, I think you'll find the MFP tools and community a huge help.
