I went in to my Dr for my yearly physical back in August. My doctor told me that I really needed to drop some weight. He told me about MFP. It took me over a month to actual sign in, but I am so glad that I did!

    I stumbled across it first as an app for my phone :-) it wasn't until about 2 weeks after downloading on my phone that I realized it was also online :-)

    I was looking for a calorie counter on my ipod apps in Spring 2010...messed with it for a few weeks, then gained 20 lbs.
    in Spring 2011 I revisited the app and found out I could use it online, and add friends!

    &Here I am now :wink:

    I was a smoker and eatting poorly, my coworker at work showed me her new phone and had this app on it. I like that you could count your cals, I didn't realize it was a whole community. I started getting friends and keeping track and I started having my friends push me. I became inspired by them and kept counting calories, then it took me to the gym and started counting my burns and cardio and weight lifting. I got me a trainner now. I have stopped smoking and spend most of my free time on MFP reading about health. I have lost lots of weight and now gainning muscle and love my freinds on MFP, I have never met them in life but I am so greatful for the motivation and insperation they give me. I used to be a facebooker and now i haven't been on facebook for weeks. Its been 3 months since i have found MFP and i haven't been this happy in a long time. :)

    Found it on my phone back in January but didn't realize it was a website until September, which is when I actually started getting serious.
