    I was keeping a manual food diary and looking up calorie values online, when I came across MFP. It has made such a HUGE difference to my life and the way I now approach food and exercise.

    I love the support I get from my MFPs and I am happy to support them too. :happy: :flowerforyou:

    It had made me research more about food and nutrition and enabled me to bust a lot of the myths perpetrated online and in the mass media.

    And it has helped me lose nearly 18kg (40lbs) since the start of August this year. I've only recently got a smartphone (birthday gift) and now I'm also experimenting with the phone app too, but much prefer MFP on the old PC :bigsmile:

    My daughter now 30, told me about it, I joined to support her although I was overweight! Didn't think anything would work for me - 1st few log ins, MFP growled - not eating enough calories! (Was only eating 700-800, no appetite). So upped my calories to what is recommended and the rest is history :bigsmile:

    We started with the phone app, but then I found the website! Love the motivational success stories but have few/no photos of me fat

    Thank you MFP! Have suggested it to several friends when they ask me how I lost weight

    I first saw it mentioned on some bodybuilding.com forums, but I was using The Daily Plate and was satisfied with that site. Then about a year later, my twin brother and his girlfriend mentioned that they use MFP and that it was tons better than TDP...so I eventually switched over. So glad I did!!

    I was on dailymile for running and there was a thread about people wanting to run for weightloss but it wasn't working. Someone said MFP, and off I went!

    I found it back in the worst of my eating disorder days through the app store, and used it as a way to track calories for UNhealthy reasons. Now I've gotten back into it for the right reasons!
