Mine was by accident. I got a new phone and was bored going through apps. I found one site and it wasn't good. Then I saw another app and got on here, posted, logged, and have loved it ever since. That was December 2010. How about you?

My gf introduced me to the site.0

I blog. And one of the blogs I stalk regularly mentioned it. I signed up but didn't really get into the social aspect of it until about 6 months or so in. Now I'm hooked.0

My ex boyfriend/lover/FWB told me about it. Told me it would really help shrink my *kitten*. What he didn't tell me was this place is like a meat market. Forever changed my life.
And he might read this and laugh at the description i just gave him.0 -
I think I have an internet searching disorder... lol. Thats how I came upon this mighty MFP.0

on Facebook, Skinny Oven page (i'm a "friend"). Thought I'd check it out and loved it!!!0

Someone recommended it on my Weight Watcher blog when I mentioned I was struggling with the new program. I've been here ever since!0

Pretty much the same. I wanted a phone app. I had previously joined spark, but the site was kludgy, especially the phone app.0 -
i found the app and then the website0

My friend recommended I join after I told her I was starting to keep a journal of my calories to lose weight! I'm eternally grateful0

Youtube, campbellfitness spoke of this website and how it works for keeping track of cal/macros.0

For me I used sparkpeople first, then went to livestrong.com and finally to MFP. I found it when I googled calories on a particular food I was looking for. I like MFP best.0

My band director from high school and his wife used MFP, along with C25K, to lose something like a combined 180 lbs. I follow them on twitter so.... here I am...0

Believe it or not a girlfriend told me and she does not even use it!!!!!!!!!0
-
HauteP1nk pestered me until I switched to this site. Or at least that is the story I am telling.0

I was going to start counting calories on my own. I had a fresh notebook and everything! While on google trying to find the calories in some item I saw this site. I signed up and have been hooked ever since. I was already hooked, and then in January I got an iPhone and downloaded the app. Discovered a whole new love for MFP!0
-
I can not remember how in the world I found it! or if someone told me about it. I wish I can find out some way so I can thank them everyday for finding this amazing site! It's seriously changed my life. I've gained a lot knowledge about food and exercise.0

I don't remember exactly what brought me here... I think it was a friend of a friend talked about it? Not quite sure, but this sure has become a BIG part of my life!!0

This is pretty much the exact same for me. Exact.0 -
I googled "free weightloss plans and trackers" or something to that nature. I just had a baby and tried to follow the old weight watcher plan on my own and it wasn't working and I was trying to track everything I was eating in a notebook on paper. I didn't want to spend any money because I am poor. I found this site and noticed it had a free phone app as well. What is not to like, I losing? I love it!0

When I wanted to start losing weight, I searched health apps.
I was in pure amazement when I found mpf0 -
My daughter and I are on this weight loss/healthier lifestyle journey together. I was using calorie counter and she was using MFP. She talked me into using MFP and I am so glad she did. We can keep closer track of each other and root each other on on a daily basis. I love it!0

I honestly can't remember, I think it was a blog. I hooked a lot of people in, mostly family who have since been deleted haha0

A couple of friends (who did not know each other) were both using MFP and seeing results. I had to check it out.0
