    Definitely. I feel like I'd be letting down people on here by letting myself slip. I've met some nice people, people who I would consider real friends from this site! I've only been on here a week or so, but yes, it definitely is helping! It's awesome to track every single calorie you eat as well. It's good for me to see what goes into my body. I'm a very visual person.

    maybe you should try it :smile:
    make some more mfp friends who are motivated and consistently loosing weight, make your food diary visible - the accountability really stops you from falling off the diet wagon, log your food every day and stick to your calorie goal and do some form of exercise. this is what i've been doing and its working for me and there is no reason for it not to work for everybody

    Just logging in nope. Logging in and tracking food and excercise, most definately.

    I am on another plan....not calorie counting,, but I like MVP because I can see what I am putting into my body everyday, added up, and on one page. I also love the support!!!!!!

    In the very beginning it really helped me to see exactly what I was eating & how I needed to change that. Now I've found that since I'm conscience of what I eat MFP actually helps me make sure I eat enough. So yes I think logging in everyday helps, at least until I learn to eat balanced on my own.

    Yes, it helps me alot because I have to look at how much every crumb of food that goes into my mouth costs me in calories . . . it makes me very accountable . . . I never realized how much just a teaspoon of sugar counts or that last bite of bread . . . this system really works for me!

    Oh yeah, it helps me a lot. For instance, I would have no idea much I was starving myself before or how much darn salt I ate today if it wasn't for logging in and taking the time to put it all down here. Sometimes it seems like a hassle, but it definitely helps to put your nutrition into perspective.

    Definitely! Even when I am feeling less than motivated, logging in reminds me that I need to stay on track.

    It helps me TREMENDOUSLY. I am visually accountable for everything that goes into my mouth, and MFP friends are such a wonderful support system...especially for those not-so-successful days.

    I have found it to be extremely helpful with holding me accountable for exactly what I'm eating. There's also something very rewarding about being able to see my progress chart with my weigh loss … just that visual alone is so motivating.

    ABSOLUTELY!!! MFP helped me realize how unhealthy I was eating before; always thought I ate pretty "healthy" but nope! High sodium, high carbs was my norm. Now, I'm using MFP to make sure I get enough food as well as watching my carb intake as I'm 5 months pregnant.

    As if my ADHD/OCD-riddled brain would let me just log-in sporadically.

    It makes me accountable, in a good way, I've even started sharing my food diary with MFP friends, it even makes me feel like exercising just so i cam add it and see my changes. AND i really like chatting with others there are so many great ideas out there and inspiration
