    I was doing a search for calorie counters, I heard that was a good way to loose weight... I'm not doing as well as I'd like though. Kind of getting discouraged.

    I went to my doctor and told him that i was going to loose weight, then at my next appointment i dropped 12 pounds and he was showing me the site on his phone, so i came and checked it out.

    i was using another site but then i bought an iphone and wanted a site that also had an app and a barcode scanner. i tried another and didnt really like it, then saw this and tried it and fell in love and havent looked back. i tried the website first then the app and really loved them both. then the updated app made it even better.

    i should add apart from having much better features and being easier to use than the other sites i was using, the community aspect is amazing. at first i didnt use it, now its my life.

    Like many I found the app first. I was starting to track my food and really liked the bar code scanner and online tracking features. Didn't know anything about the community. I used the app for about a month before even coming to the forums - now I can't leave!!

    Signed up for a program called "Mind and Body" through my hubby's work. First coaching call, the coach talked about how people who track what they eat lose twice as much as people who don't. I told her, flat out, I wasn't writing it down in a book. (Been there, do not do that for more than a few days before I lose interest). She suggested MFP because of the phone app, but called it "myfitnesspal.com", which told me there's an online variant. Downloaded the phone app, checked out the website a day or so later. LOVE the community aspect, and I suspect it's what'll make the difference for me. (I'm kinda new here!)

    Much like the original poster, My Nurse at the VA told me quite bluntly, I needed to make some lifestyle changes, or it would only be worse later. After a visit to the dietician (also an MFPer) I got myself on here and am quite impressed at the results so far.

    I was looking for food tracker on my phone and chose MFP because of the size of the database and the online aspect.
