    It's working very well and it makes it easy to do and stick to.

    The app doesn't do anything...the people do the work!

    But if you're comitted to weighing what you eat, logging it accurately and being a little wary with eating back exercise cals (MFP over estimates I think) then it is an extremely helpful tool to!

    I'm weebling at the moment as always but I'm around 1st 7lb down since January.

    For how many this app is working to loose weight?
    I don't know how many succeed and how many fail. What is sure is that MFP gives you the tools, but you have to make the commitment.

    It has been working for me (lost about 15lbs over 5 months) because rather than 'diets' which focus on what I can't eat, this allows me the ability to budget for the items I love to eat. It is very freeing in that way.

    It works for sure, but you need to log accurately for it to work.

    I've lost 20.5 pounds in 5 months...but 7.5 pounds of that total has come since using this app over the last 3 weeks. I'm definitely sold on the importance of logging all foods you eat and counting calories!

    Yes. If you are honest about what you are eating, you accurately measure what you are eating, and you don't give up if you are following the plan but the numbers aren't IMMEDIATELY showing up. I can't tell you how many people I see get discouraged when they don't see a loss on the scale for a week or two. It takes time.

    The app is a great tool, but it's you who does the work. You have to be honest and log correctly.

    That said I've lost 40 pounds using MFP.

    as long as you log absolutely everything you eat, yes. i've lost 100 lbs so far.

    also if you excercise, MFP tends to overestimate calories burned so don't eat out your calories too much.

    Like others have said it's just a tool, but I've found it very helpful and motivating.

    Counting calories is the ONLY thing that HAS worked for me. Calories in, calories out - boom - weight loss. :drinker:

    Counting calories and sticking to my calorie goal is working. MFP is a great tool to help me do that.
