Why do you use MFP?

HMonsterX

Purely for the sake of curiosity, I was wondering today the reason people use this site.

I'm not after long explanations, but we all come here primarily for one thing, the other features are bonuses.

So...do you use it for:

1) The calorie counting.

2) The support.

3) The community in general

4) Something else

Myself, it's 1. Ofc i love the forums, but PRIMARILY its for keeping my calories in check. How about you?

I use it for inspiration and support and for calorie counting.....before this I would always try to count them on paper....not so easy lol.

I love the community, and the calorie counting as well as to really remind me, hey- fatass- get up and move. I try to do at least something... And just seeing people's stuff in my feed really pumps me up to

Because it's easy to stalk people....no really it was for the calorie counter and the first two times it sucked since I had no friends but then I got some friends so now it is just because the people on here keep me motivated!

After using a number of other calorie tracking websites, this one has it all. calories and exercise tracking, community forums for support and the social "Friends" aspect that I REALLY appreciate. It's the whole package.

Calorie counting!

I use it for the calorie counter, which has opened my eyes to where this weight came from and the support to keep on the right track

I use it for so many reasons. When I first started it was only for calorie counting. But, now I track all my food, exercise, and I regularly join challenges and make friends to keep me involved. the more I feel like others are watching, the better I do.

Calorie tracking in conjunction with the amazing Iphone app. :-)

Keep track of: calories, protein, calcium, and fiber.
Keep track of my exercises and foods.
Support group.
Inspiration.

I just started yesterday, but I actually feel better. It's like I can see my progress online. It's easier to use than pencil and paper.

Mainly for the calories - I love that I can use it on my phone OR my PC without having to 'download' info from/to each.

And it's a massive time-waster when I'm bored at work. That's a BIG plus.

Initially for tracking and logging my calories and exercise.:bigsmile:

1.calorie counting:keeps me honest.

For the calorie counter and exercise diary. It showed me how little I was eating some days. I am getting to a point where I can eat more some days but I still have to up my exercise too.
