soo would you be able to loose weight without the help of MFP?

personally i couldnt! i dont know where id be if i hadnt of found this site! i have beeen very overweight from the age of 13, when i hit 16 i really wanted to loose weight - and i just couldnt =/ i signed up to weight watchers in my local area - only to find that i was the youngest there out of the 30 ish that went!:blushing: and i didnt have any confidence what so ever to go back every week to weigh in infront of total strangers =/... soo i finished that.. then more weight creeped on... but i am soo glad i have found this website! it makes me more accountable of the calories that go in my gob! and it sounds sillly - but i love weighing out all my fooods!! cereal, salad, meat, etc etc! and i LOVE excercise now! wheras many years ago i used to shout at the teachers in high school when they told me to go on the running machine in the school gym!:laugh:

and last but not least - all the wounderfull friends i have made on here from all over the world!! seeeing some of your calorie burns have really helped to motivate me!:bigsmile:

soo yeaaaah, i dont think i would of been 45lbs lighter in the space of a year if i hadnt of met MFP!

I don't think I could tbh. About 4 months before I found MFP I tried to lose weight on my own. I devised my own calorie goal depending on how active I was that day, and wrote down the cals, protein etc by hand. It was quite good really and I lost around 7lbs.

I couldn't stick to it though, and gained it all back plus a few extra lbs. Been on MFP now since June '10 and never fallen off the wagon here, I love it!

I lost 20 kilo's before joining or even knowing MPF was around, but withou support it was hard and it wasn't a steady loss it was tiny bits at a time for a year, hopefully now I lose lots more!

I could but its easier with MFP's assistance and community.

MFP saved me for sure.. have tried this many times without it.. I really want this now & MFP is my lifesaver.. I have to be accountable for everything I eat... Its like if I don't log everything or eat things I know are not right I feel horrible.. It has me under control.. But a good control.. Food used to control me, but not now... Thanks MFP... Good luck on your journey..

Of course; there are many alternatives, including just old fashion diet and exercise with personal accountability.
I'm not knocking MFP, but I reached my goals before ever joining up.

I've set new goals and sure wish I had found this 2 years ago.

I used MFP for 6 months and did VERY well. Got down to within 5 lbs of my goal weight. I stopped using MFP because i thought i was good to go having lost most of it...within 1 year i had gained it all back. When i use MFP it makes me accountable to something on how much i eat and i pay more attention to my snacking habits.
I will use this even when i reach my goal just to help me maintain my weight.

I LOVE MFP!

Yes, I could do it without it have before...twice. I will say MFP makes it much easier to track caloric intake though...

I've gone up and down all my life, i'm trying out MFP to see if this can help me stay down.

I think it could be done NOW..that I am aware of certain foods and its nutrients and how it factors in my journey!! The support is great I still question if it would be a success! LOL
