    I think it was because I was looking for an app to track my calories. When I first used it on my phone, I only used it a couple days and then quit. Then a few months later I started back on it again and have been on it since.

    My friend that I hadn't seen in years posted a picture of herself on FB and I emailed her to ask her what she was doing and she told me about the app, a month later I saw someone else talking about it so I decided to look it up and I'm so glad I did.... now I'm hooked almost 2 weeks in.

    I was actually required to sign for up MFP, as a homework assignment for my college nutrition class. Even though I was "forced" to come here, I am staying by choice.

    This is same way I found MFP. I am a nursing student pursuing my BSN and was required to sign up, troll the forums, and complete a semester long project that included a self analysis, as well as other critiques, for a clinical nutrition course. The project was very detailed, included other sources, and was 17 pages in length!

    I, too, continue utilizing MFP 'by choice', but input many of my own custom settings. It is an excellent tool, but has its flaws, like anything else. With a little tweaking, it becomes the perfect tool! I have recommended it to many and will continue to do so!

    I was looking for another fitness app on my ipod touch and saw this one. It had high ratings so I figured I'd give it a try. So happy I did.

    Don't laugh, but I was part of the 90% of girls who were dieting at 12, so I saw this website when calorie counting. I had an account, but quit. 6 years later, I'm back. Now, I'm 18 ahaha.

    I told my wife I wanted to lose weight three months ago and she told me about this app she had found.

    The rest (and the weight) is history.

    My former personal trainer actually set up my account with his cell phone. He wanted to see what I was eating. At first I was a little pissed but honestly it was the best thing that he ever did for me. This site became my life line to better health. I no longer have the trainer but I will have this site forever.

    A youtube friend of mine mentioned it on her video. I don't know if she still come here but I never lost weight before coming here and I've tried EVERYTHING! I was on my way to WLS but when that didn't work out this was my plan B. Haven't looked back since that's why I shout out MFP on all of my videos!
