Ok so obviously MFP is here to help us lose pounds and inches, and after being here for just a week and a half these have already begun to happen for me. BUT I have also noticed so other MAJOR changes. In the past I have had some digestive problems and also have a loooong history of kidney and urinary tract infections. Since MFP I have noticed that my urine is almost clear in colour, and I havn't had any urinary tract issues at all (rare for me). I'm also more....... uh, regular? Due to all these great fruits and veggies I've been having. I used to think I didn't like vegetables.... But now I can't get enough!
Aside from that, I feel more energetic, sleep better at night and wake feeling rested, and am generally finding myself to be more flexible...... lol clearly making sex much more enjoyable.
Another biggie is I have recently had some dental work done and it resulted in very sensitive teeth.... Well since I've been on this diet I havn't had any pain! And I have hot soup nearly everyday! I think maybe it has to do with sugar cutbacks.

I am inviting everyone to share the ways MFP has benefited you! And to anyone who's browsing the site wondering if its for them, Maybe this thread will help you to commit :)

    i'm getting an education on the number of cals in stuff! some of the things i thought were healthy choices turn out to be loaded with cals or carbs or sodium, etc! so it's all about educating myself about my new life style choice so that i can learn to make the right choices, not cry after i log my foods! :happy:

    I've been on this site for a couple of months and I've learned that I don't have to deprive myself. I can eat what I want in MODERATION. Also a cheat day once in a great while won't kill me. I also learned not to skip snacks. I think I've really made this a lifestyle change and not a diet, cheesy as that sounds!:smile:
