old timer - left - now back!

I found my fitness pal years back ... (2007ish I believe)... And it helped cement the habit of food tracking - as a result I lost about 40lbs!

I left myfitnesspal and jumped over to Livestrong.com around 2009 - largely because they had an iPhone app... I stomached the $40 "premium" membership for a couple of years... typical growth scenario I guess - you get too big and sucessful and you loose your focus... While the new LS site redesign is pretty snappy - their updated app is HORRIBLE... Wonk interface... Database retrieval is now hit -and- miss (it used to be impossible to stump)... ugh... Just a total bummer.

I was wallowing in frustration when I remembered you all here at my fitness pal.. where this whole habit started...

wow - you guys have really kicked butt over the years - and the iPhone is GREAT! PLEASE keep up the great work!!! (and for god's sakes - if you entertain a serious UI overhaul of your iPhone app - PLEASE - keep interface usability / design at the top of the list of priorities! (*just because something looks pretty on a storyboard doesn't mean it's usable ... I bet this is what happened over at LS).

anyway - hey! it's nice to be back.
