How did you find MFP?

I was just thinking...

I really do love this place and being part of the MFP community. Everyone is so supportive and helpful and I truly don't think I would have made it this far without everyone's support.

I came across it accidently when I downloaded the MFP app for Android. I was just logging my food and exercise for my own reference and then one day I stumbled upon it online while looking for some basic information about the app.

I had no idea there was a whole online community! I haven't been able to stay away since! I'm so addicted!

Anyway, it got me wondering-

how did everyone else find MFP?

I posted on my facebook asking if anyone wanted to be a diet buddy via texting/email. A gay boy I know posted saying to join him on MyFitnessPal, so I checked it out and started. That was like 235 days ago

I was doing a Yahoo search for calorie counters... this was one of them that popped up and I liked it the best so I joined. Probably one of the best decisions I've ever made... I tell all my friends who want to lose weight to join!

Saw some other ladies talking about it on another forum called Minimins and they recomended it so here I am. Turns out I had signed up last year and forgot anyway lol.

I saw an ad for it on my Droid and downloaded it. Lucky me!

I was using another website before this one. I always struggled to find my foods in their database and there wasnt a community like this. I kept seeing a friend of mine posting on FB and her logs looked so detailed and easy to use so I came over and checked it out. And then I found all of you guys and have been hooked since.

I googled "How to lose 100 lbs" and found it!

Found it via 344pounds.com -- an amazing weight loss blog, written by a lad that lost 100+ pounds by counting calories.

My husband got a droid phone and downloaded the MFP app, so I looked it up online. I didn't use it for very long though because there was no blackberry app at that time (this was maybe a year ago?) Just recently I discovered that it is now available for blackberry so I signed up again and have been doing most of my tracking on my phone. I do love the social aspect though. I had an off day yesterday and everyone was so supportive and then today I felt like I really had to get back on track because I had these people holding me accountable.

My Dear Bestie was/is using MFP and it updated to her facebook. So when she updated her meals and exercise I was like ...
Oh Cool!! I can use this to hold me accountable... LOVE IT!!! I never looked back
