What happens in MFP stays in MFP

dckim

Do you tell everyone you use MFP? I told few friends and family and they are like what is that?

Also, how many of you use the MFP app on your phone?

:flowerforyou:

Becoming_A_Butterfly

My boyfriend knows I use MFP, but as to whether he wants details or not...doubt it! :happy:

I wish I could use the apps, but my phone isn't quite fancy enough. I can get to the website with my phone, but it's much easier to use from a computer for me.

I tell everyone. People always are asking me, "How did you do it????" and although I know that I put in the work to get healthy, I don't know how I could have done it without this amazing tool and the awesome support I get on here.

I don't have a smart phone, so I just use the website, no app.

I use MFP on my phone, I had a blackberry and the app was ok. Just got an iPhone a fews ago & the app is so much better for the iPhone! love it!!!

Love the MFP app for my phone, believe that's what keeps me on track and has made me successful even when I eat things I shouldn't!

I not only use it every day no matter what and i have told everyone who will listen about it. i think i have gotten about 10 ppl using it even my hubby. why hide it when something is soooooooo amazing?!!!!!

A few people know I use "A thing on the internet to track my calories".

I don't tell most people because I want them to notice on their own that I am losing weight. Sometimes when people know your trying to lose weight they say you look like you lost a ton of weight just to be nice.

BUT If I know someone who is trying to lose weight also then I share the site. My sister and my friend have both checked it out.

I tell anyone who asks and I do use the Smart phone app. My favorite feature is the bar code scanner. Love it!!!

I tell EVERYONE!!!!! It's awesome... My hubby is on it too.... We both LOVE the app for the iphone.

quichebradford

I tried to tell people about it in the beginning...but they don't seem to get it so I don't bother anymore. Plus, I think I secretly want to keep it to myself! If I didn't have the app on my phone I don't know what I would do!!

fmeisele

I tell everyone and use the iPhone app, you can't make it any easier then MFP does.

nukehiker

i tell lots of people about it but whether or not they decide they use it or not is up to them. yea i use the android app too. in fact one time i was out eating with the family and my say who are you texting now ? and i told her i was logging my dinner in MFP !!

sophjakesmom

Not really. when people ask how I am doing it, I tell them about MFP, but that's about it. If they join, they'll see what it is all about.

I started using my phone app (iPhone) before I found the website. I love them both!! my phone for the convenience and the website for the more robust community aspect.

AllisonMart

I tell my close friends that have expressed an interest in losing weight and encouraged them to join because of all the great support. I also use the Droid app and love it. It's so handy to record calories at any time.

airycha

I can't remember if I have told anybody. I do use the phone app sometimes.

SarabellPlus3

I'm a pretty private person, I guess, I can't imagine when I'd even have the occasion to be telling someone about MFP, to be honest. LOL So, no, it's never really come up.

I would tell a friend about it if they were looking to get healthier and I thought they'd want a good way to log calories, and maybe even talk on the message board.

iplayoutside19

If the subject comes up, I tell people.

AureliaCotta

Hubby does. No one else because then I'll get far too much unsolicited, useless and incorrect advice about weight loss

mrsvatitagain

I tell everyone!!!! And I use the app on my iPhone all day long! LOVE IT!~

luppic8

I just recruited two co-workers and my sister. I use the app on my phone...I love it.

Ok Quiche..I added people and a couple are still going strong but a couple faked. I send my posts to facebook so if they wanna click on the link they will find my page. The person who brought me on here is hardly ever on here..lol But I have found some cool friends.

ceannesjourney

I tell everyone and a few have joined too but have stopped very shortly afterwards...I think you REALLY have to want this for it to work. I use the bb app if I have to but don't like it much. I use the website or iPad app mostly.

I plug it on to family and friends on Facebook at every 10 pound mark. So four times so far. I've only had a few people who wanted to talk about it, so I figure that gives them enough information that if they want to pursue it, they know it's out there.

persephone87

I tell anyone about it I don't mind, I think its a great way to keep track of your food and exercise and get added support and advice. I don't have the app on my phone because I dont have a smartphone.

wiglet23

I tell people who ask. It's also linked to my Facebook so my friends there may notice it, but no one has really asked there. I do love the app (Android here) and the barcode scanner comes in REAL handy.

I agree. I have it on my IPod Touch. I now can control myself when I'm out and about more easily. Then when I get home the app syncs with the laptop and I have uptodate info. FANTASTIC

I tell everyone I use MFP and may have got some of them looking to use it too.

I access the MFP website from my PC or my husband's notebook when we travel. I just have a regular cell phone, no apps, no internet.

I don't tell anybody about MFP, except my husband and children, because people think that I am nuts (probably true), and I don't want to start a conversation that will not end up in a good way.

People want to lose weight in an easy way, and as soon as I explain that the key is “calories and exercise tracking” they just shrug their shoulder, put an ugly face, turn green, open their mouth, and say “what, too much work.”

I've said something to a co-worker that is doing WW and my immediate family knows I use it. It's hard to be a secret at home when I'm planning their dinners using the website. When I go home for Thanksgiving I'm showing my father the website. He's having health issues and I think it would be a great tool for him to use in watching his cholesterol.


I use the iphone app a lot.
