So how did everyone learn about this site?

Boxing987

also what made you register and join? For myself I was searching google on reviews of the T25 training program and this site came up.

What about everyone else?

Beautiful_Pain

I found it on google apps back in 2010. I was already losing weight on my own, and was just looking for fitness apps, I didnt count calories but i liked the social aspect of it.

My father was on active duty so he used it to keep in shape for weigh ins. That's how I found out about it. I actually made like two other accounts on here before this one but I kept just doing it for a day or so and not caring enough to keep going. Which was dumb and I wish I didn't. But, *shrug*. Better late than never, right?

I noticed that one of the managers at my local supermarket had lost a lot of weight. I asked her how she did it and she told me about myfitnesspal

My cousin recommended it to me last year after I told him that I really wanted to lose weight and I've been pretty addicted ever since. I've been trying to lose weight for years, however I usually manage to lose weight but then I put it back on again and more. This time it is for keeps. We've got this.

I decided to start writing down everything i was eating but as i spend a lot of time on the computer i were googling a website that lets you write everything online, and found MFP glad i did as so far i'm doing great!

Looking for a calorie counting app. Through the app store on my phone. ????????

Nyksta

My friend who had been very successful here kept badgering me to do it.... I kept telling her I didn't have time to count calories.... I'm so thankful she kept on and I gave in to shut her up

I saw the MFP app in a magazine, and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever.

workout_ninja

I googled "why can I lose weight while doing insanity" - it took me to the forums. i signed up and quickly learned its because i was eating waaaay to much! That was a year ago, never looked back!

My company is a corporate partner for MFP (Sodexo)...all of our recipes across all lines of business are loaded here, and all of them have barcodes for people with SmartPhones. I was given the informational packet so I could talk to our guests about it, and even created a profile. I never used it though, just used it for demonstration purposes. One of my guests took it very seriously, and was doing such a great job! I remember when she came in and the difference was noticeable. She had lost 50lbs. I asked how she did it and she smiled and waved her phone and pointed to the barcodes on the menus. "MFP, duh!"

I activated my profile and have been here on and off since. I know my progress would be better/faster if I just stuck with it...I'm trying...

I started counting calories in a notebook a few years ago and thought there had to be an easier way. Googled it and found this site. So much easier!!

Found through a Google search. Had to sign up in order to see the food database.

I was reading articles on CNN and clicked on a story in the Lifestyles section about a woman's weight loss success story. She used MFP. I was curious so I did a Google search for a link, looked around on the website, liked what I saw, signed up and never looked back.

Was recommended it by a bodybuilder

I heard about it through a friend from work... love it ! :-)

eplerd

A co-worker recommended it and I've been a LOSER ever since - the GOOD kind!!

I was reading All You Magazine and they recommended this website. Joining this website is one of the best decision I've ever made.

CharleePear

A friend recommended I log my food on the app and it went from there, it took awhile for me to get serious but boom!

DebbieLyn63

My daughter told me about it. She had lost a bunch of weight before she got pregnant, using this app. After the baby, I joined MFP with her while she lost the baby weight. My loss has been slower, but I'm not 26 anymore!
I quickly found a lot of other women around my age who were succeeding, and off I went.
The forums can be a bit dangerous for some, and you have to check the food database to make sure entries are accurate sometimes, but considering it is a free app, I love it.

Googled "Best Weight Loss App" sitting in an airport waiting for a flight home from a vacation on which none of my clothes fit well. Almost 18 months ago...

lindajeanscs

I was reading an article in a magazine. The lady lost over 100 lbs. using this sight and it's better than paying a weekly fee and going to meetings. I like the instant proof that the more you move the more you can eat and still lose.

gunshowgreg

I noticed an NCO in my unit loose a good bit of weight and he was well into his 50s I asked how he did so well and he showed me MFP and then I made an account that was in October 2012.

sweetcurlz67

I started recording my food on another app: LoseIt. Was doing that for about a month when a co-worker/friend encouraged me to sign up for MFP so she could help "keep an eye" on my food intake (lack thereof at the time). Best decision EVER!!!!
