It will help in a number of ways:
- MFP friends will hold you accountable (if you let them see your diary).
- MFP friends will applaud your successes and support you through your downs/plateaus.
- The MFP forums are a great resource (learn from other's successes).
- Tons of inspiring stories and people on MFP.
- The food diary will help teach you how to get the proper nutrition (protein, fat, carbs, sodium, etc.)
- By looking at what your MFP friends are eating, you'll get good ideas for yourself.
- You'll see your success every day you log in.
- You'll make friends that have the same goals, rather than folks that are living unhealthy lifestyles.
