where would you be without mfp

mrlazy1967

I would have given up diet after the first week, like I always did before

melbaby925

In a van down by the river.... eating deep fried Twinkies.

^^^This, except mine would be copious amounts of Taco Bell. I never did have a love for Twinkies!

Logging was never something I was successful with until I had the app on my phone. I can log while I'm preparing a meal and/or when I'm actually at a restaurant - it makes me WAY more conscious about what I'm doing.

I would have quit weeks ago when I started suffering a plateau. I went about 3 weeks without losing and I would have NEVER had the patience to get through that without the support and motivation of my friends on this site.

I would be fat eating mcdonalds waiting to die of a heart attack.

I would either be paying money to weight watchers (the only thing that ever worked for me before MFP) or would be getting fatter and would be eating more than I need to eat. I also would be nowhere near as strong or fit physically without MFP.

Eating a basket of Olive Garden bread sticks.

without MFP, I'd have started (like 1mil other times) lost maybe 5 lbs, get frustrated and give up (like 101 mil other times)

I never had this level of support and information. And the food journal has quite simply saved my life. bottom line: my life would be S**t without MFP.

Not to mention, half my family & friends are also eating better & getting healthier now.
Shout out to all my friends and .. well, just everyone with MFP. Possibly one of the best things that ever happened to me in my whole entire crappy life

Believe it or not....Without MFP, I never would have tried maple Krispie Kreme donuts.
I don't regret it, though and I can't tell you why

12 pounds fatter!

I would still be trying to eat healthier and get up and move more than I was. But I know I wouldn't be as successful as I have been here. I lost 7 pounds in 5 weeks already, and I can see where I'm going wrong from one day to the next. I used to log my food in a journal, but back then I was only eating about 800 calories a day thinking that I would lose more weight that way. I know better than all that now.

Claible

I know someone already said this but it is true for me as well. I would still be almost if not over 300lbs and shoveling food into my mouth like I was never going to eat again. I would still be drinking pop all day instead of water. Thanks to MFP I feel better, look better and have more confidence in myself

AnninStPaul

I would still be determined to lose weight, but I'd probably be eating a lot worse. I've been unsatisfied with my body for a couple years now, but MFP is the push I needed to do it for real!

ditto!

truecountrygirl

I would probably still be losing weight. I lost most of my weight on my own but no telling how much I was really eating. I think I was actually under eating if anything lol. I think I'm too dependent on MFP now *sigh* what would I do without you guys and the tools this site provides

same here i was eating way under my calorie goal and i did that a couple of years ago and failed so this is my year to start something new for myself and see if this really works plus i love having the support of people on here that are going through the same struggles as i am it really helps

robot_potato

I'd be losing, but I'd be miserable. I was restricting myself from so much food. Now on Mfp I will eat that chocolate if it fits in my calories. Being able to see my calories eaten/ burned and my macros has helped so much.

jlhorres

I agree pbprincess. I like that I can have what I want as long as I keep within my calorie allowance. Congrats on 61 pounds, what an accomplishment!

stringqueen16

I did HCG before this...it worked, it really really did, but it was so hard to stick to, only eating 500 cals a day with very restricted foods. It made being with other people difficult, and it made my whole day center around my diet, and I gained some of the weight back after it all. I'd probably still be losing weight, but very very slowly and I'd be eating foods that were advertised as healthy, but actually aren't. I'd be frustrated, and probably would have quit by now.

chachita7

HMMMM... still working out like (that hasn't changed), but still eating close to 2500 calories a day

Pebble321

I suspect I'd still be yo-yoing up and down in weight and fitness.
MFP has been a godsend for me.

superness

I would have no idea how much I was eating.

liog

I'm new here, but I would definitely be eating more without logging. I can see now that I was into a habit of snackiing a lot. A little bit here and there really adds up.

teamflatbelly

Hi my loves hope all is well with everyone. Please feel free to add me I motivate people on my page daily. If not just add me just because. :happy:

AlicynH

I know being accountable for my calories has helped so much. Before I would try and keep track but I love having somewhere to come and share with other people. It's nice having the encouragement. It's hard to talk to my mom and sisters about my weight loss because they are all over weight too but are not really doing anything about it. My mom kind of got mad because I was talking about it one day so I don't tell her any more. Luckily my dad is very supportive. He loves to hear about my weight loss.
