Out of random curiosity I'd like to know how you came across this app! My mom kept bugging me to join so I finally did and loved it ever since LOL. Go moms! And go FitnessPal!

My nutritionist recommended that I track every bite/sip religiously on here as part of an emergency attempt to get out of Morbidly Obese status.0

Googled calorie counting sites...then I noticed the INSANE amount of traffic on the forums that are mostly women wanting to lose weight, so this place is a playful prankster's wet dream...0

My sister first told me about it & then one of my friends kept posting her success with this app on FB.0

Came across it when searching for Protein powders on line.0

I didn't know it existed until Tim, a guy who regularly comes to our geek club commenting on my Facebook, recommending it when I posted a status discussing the results of a study which showed that people who log their food intake are better at weight control. At the time I was two weeks in to keeping a pen and paper diary.
Not knowing what to expect I popped in for a look and have been hooked and successfully logging and losing ever since. That was five months ago.
Tim, strangely enough, seems to be the same weight or bigger. He believed so strongly in it that he persuaded me, but for some reason it didn't work for him *shrugs*.0 -
