How long have you been with MFP?

ClassicKayo

I used MFP a couple years ago and met my goals. Slowly I lost my routine with logging in daily. I thought once I met my goal I was done with MFP but here I am again. I guess I will need to keep MFP forever to make sure I maintain my goals. How long have you been on MFP?

I've been on MFP for 4 months. And I've lost 26lbs. I really love it.

I have been on MFP for 4 years and a couple of months (joined March 2013).

I know what you mean about falling out of the logging routine. I did it SO religiously for the first two years and lost a lot of weight, then got lazy.

For the past 2 years I have logged my food maybe 80% of the time and hardly at all on the weekends. I'm only up between 6-8 lb (of a 100+ loss) but I have not been able to get that back off in a year or so of being careless with logging, so I have recently tried to be strict about logging again. Clothes are fitting better but no big scale changes yet.

4 years and a loss like that is amazing! It really is what we put into it. Use it and lose it with MFP

I've had this account for years, but never posted in the forums until recently. I always used it strictly for calorie counting / weight tracking. Now that I'm having success I find myself more talkative, for better or worse.

Joined in 2010 logged religiously and lost 70 lbs, I stopped at the end of 2011 logging most of my stuff, and have gone back up 8 to 10lbs every year. I am back now that i have 40 of those 70 back. I am ready to focus again. I felt sooo much better when i was accountable.

5-6 years

Wow. That's commitment. Did you loose with MFP or maintain all these years? Or both?

This time around, just over three years. Altogether, maybe double that. Quite possibly the only thing that has remained consistent in the last 5 or 6 years of my life lol

It's pretty amazing how much it actually helps in reaching our goals. We got this

I've been here since March of 2012. This is my 5th or 6th account though. I have been known to rage quit a few times haha.

Downloaded the app Jan 31st (I think) this year. I didn't start actually using it for a couple of weeks. Finally hitting my stride. Seeing people above posting that they've lost their routine over time makes me more determined not to let that happen. Who knows though. Good luck and good job everyone!

A little over 2 years. Lost the weight in the first 8 months or so ... and have maintained since.

glassofroses

2 years next month. Lost 65+ since I started logging 70+ in total. I had a rough patch where I didn't log my food and gained back 12lbs but I lost it and more. Logging can be a pain in the butt but it all tends to go downhill pretty quick when you stop -- in my opinion. Some people have great success maintaining without logging but I know for a fact I eat too many Haribo if I don't.

3,5 years and counting

I've had this account for a little over a year, but I've been on and off MFP since 2010.

About 4 years. Currently about just over 500 days of a logging streak. Had a better one going but lost it during a camping trip with no connection.

Today marks day 1000 for me. I'll be here forever.

danigirl1011

Pretty much in the same boat as you Joined i think in 2011 (or very early 2012) and i will need it to maintain, because when I am not on here i do not do well!

I'm really not sure how people do it without!

864 days, 60 lbs lost, bleeping around with last 10 to 15 for almost a year, but this has helped me not regain during some VERY VERY stressful times.

murph155

Three and a half years. Lost 50lbs the first year, then kinda logged sporadically after that, but I had learned so much about portion control, etc., that I managed to lose another 15lbs. since then. Also, I weigh myself every day and if I see it start to creep back up, I start logging again until I get back to where I want to be. Now also trying to lose that 'last 5 lbs.' I think it's a great tool to have.

November of 2012...but I haven't logged in about 4 years.
