    I just joined sparkpeople.com (actually for the second time... the first was years ago in college...).

    Are any Bees also SparkPeople? If you are, have any tips for getting the most out of the site? Thanks in advance!

    Honestly, I joined and don't use it. I don't really like the interface, and I have found other calorie counters/activity trackers that are much less cluttered and appealing to me. The friend functions are profile are kind of cool if you want to network, but I do all that stuff on Facebook already. My two coworkers LOVE it, though.

    I love sparkpeople.com! I am a member, same username as I have here. I made it my homepage which kept me accountable with tracking my food and beverage intake! And earn sparkpoints!

    i joined it a while back, but i feel like the site is so confusing that i really have no desire to use it much. i wish it was easier because it seems like there's a ton of good information and motivating people on it.

    I use it, too--both the nutrition and fitness trackers pretty much daily (I usually take 2-3 days off of tracking food each month, sometimes a few more if I worry I'm getting too obsessed!).

    I like the recipe calculator a lot, too :-)

    I really hate the interface of sparkspeople.  Too much going on, whoever designed it did a poor job in my opinion.  I love the idea of it but I hate navigating the website and I'm in the IT industry.

    With that said, I do appreciate the ability to "switch" out different foods that are very similar content wise on my daily recipe list.  Although, I haven't been on there in a few months.

    I use it only for the recipes. I have favorites and if I want to cook for the week I just browse. I don't use the calorie tracker or the exercise one either.
