    I found it on android market. Downloaded it, used it for a week or two before I actually logged into the website. I love the website and the app.

    i was using fatsecret.com but wanted a better food database, so googled for free sites. signed up on 4....others were all too busy and the threads were impersonal and a little rough. LOVE IT here!

    I think I googled using "calorie counting weight loss" or words to the similar effect. :)

    My endocrinologist "prescribed" it for me to control my Type 2 diabetes and lose weight.

    One of my friends was using it on facebook and I saw her posts. Now she's been MIA on MFP and I'm the one posting regularly :)

    I was looking for something that I could manage online and Lose It, which I was using, couldn't do that at the time. Also food database much larger since it's user editable.

    My daughter showed it to me right at the same time the Android ap came out. It was perfect and I've been on here everyday since.

    Android market, although I tried using another Calorie Counter app for a little while because that app's bar code scanner was really great. However, then I realized that MFP's greatness lies with its actual online site for the community aspect, so tolerating a less-rich app is OK when there's so much support.

    i was drinking about 800 cals of juice a day and was clueless, my mom told me i was consuming wayyy too many cals in juice alone and maybe thats why i was having a hard time losing weight so i tried to think of things i could drink that were sweet but low cal, i thought of benefibre because then i would get fibre also, i came upon a forum and i wanted to reply but i had to create an account...guess what that website was... MFP!!! :D

    I had already downloaded apps to aide as motivational tools and logging tools for exercise and decided to go all the way…and I found mfp. I see this app and website as a Godsend. I have assisted and instructed others to log in and keep an accurate journal of their meals but have always struggled with it myself. Mfp makes this so easy its actually fun.
