What's best about MFP?

tgh1914

I'm pretty new here, and am wondering if anyone else had some less than great experiences with similar sites before finding this one. I'm sticking with MFP because it seems it has such a large database of food items and easy to use functionality that it makes it very easy to keep up with all the inputing we end up doing. I did try some others and I would give it up pretty quick because it just took too long to find the food I actually ate (or not find it at all) & then modify the portion size & do it all again later even tho it's basically the same meal. But with MFP it hardly takes any time to do it.

What's your fav part of the site?

I have to say, I really appreciate the message boards. Built in support group, with some very knowledgable folks posting. LIke anything, you pick who you trust and let the rest fly so to speak, but by and large, its a great site. I love the food diary component, too.

The message boards, people and the ability to track what I eat and how much. I have never counted calories because I watch my friends always writting stuff down and struggling with what they could eat, how much, etc. I just couldn't do that because I love to eat.

This site makes it so easy and kind of fun to track things. I found this to be one of the best free sites I have found in a long time.

I like the idea behind MFP where you are not simply eating a certain amount of calories every day, but can work a little harder or a little less to give yourself options. Makes me feel like I actually have some control over my weight loss and health. Also the message board and quick response, support is awesome.
