Introduce yourself

SusanandMatt

Hi, I am an English 2 student assigned to write a recommendation report. I have chosen to recommend myfitnesspal (mfp) to my class. I have just joined and am really excited about utilizing this site to the fullest. I need to interview a fellow member about their experience with (mfp). If there is someone interested in helping me out, please let me know! Thanks!
