Who has alone lost all thier weight following mfp

I haven't done solely MFP, but it's my primary food journal. I convert that info to Weight Watcher points. That has always been my big issue with WW - yeah, I can have 38 points in a day, but what does that really mean?? I started with MFP in May 2011, joined WW online in August.

Seeing the info on MFP has been a huge help.

For what it's worth....

I'm not finished by any means but so far it's all been on MFP. Started mid July and so far going pretty smoothly.

Body fat estimates (using weight and measurements etc.) have gone from around 53% to 38-39% currently.

I use it as a tool to track food and for motivation and encouragement. Its hard tracking my exercise but easy to track my food.

<~~~ This girl. I have lost 60 lbs in about a year, and have been maintaining. Mfp works. I've lost body weight, gotten stronger, gone from an 18 to a 6. I'm working now to gain muscle.

MFP has made a HUGE difference in my progress. Love this app!

I have only used this site for logging my food. Obviously for most of us we have to do exercise or nutrition programs outside of the site (there are some crazy people on here with some pretty stupid/harmful advice so I would never recommend anyone to use this as their only source for healthy eating/exercise habits) and I have lost 102lbs, 11% of body fat (from 47.7 to 36.6), and a little over 70 inches. I set my own calories and macros based on the education I have recieved in an actual classroom about diet/nutrition (aspiring dietitian here) and exercise with heavy lifting and plenty of cardio.

I believe and studies show that one of the building blocks of sticking to a healthy lifestyle change is 1) having the support of friends/family and 2) logging every bite. This site gives us both!

Edit- Added before body fat %

here is my blog,,I have lost most of my weight from using this site

The first time I lost weight (from 205 to 172), I didn't use MFP. However, I didnt eat healthy and ended up "skinny fat".

This time, I again lost weight (from 205 to 171) but I used MFP and made healthier nutrition choices and understand portion sizes (and their respective calorie amounts). Please keep in mind, this site doesnt cause you to gain/lose weight.

If calories consumed < calories burned, you lose weight (over the long run).
If calories consumed > calories burned, you gain weight (over the long run).

What this site does is assists you in controlling portion sizes (if you measure your food intake), plan you meals/snacks in advance, includes a wonderful forum where one's questions are answered (correctly or incorrectly), and allows one to make friends with like minded individuals who have the same goals as you do (lose weight, add muscle, gain weight, etc).

I want to hear from those who lost all thier weight following mfp calories and macronutrients. Have you lost muscle or even gain muscle .Have you lost bodyfat. I want to hear your success or even struggles on your journey.

I am still not quite halfway, but I have lost all my weight using MFP. However, I changed my calorie goal. MFP seemed to think that at 1200 calories, I would lose two pounds a week. But I have been averaging 2.4 pounds per week on 1800 and recently changed to 1900. My macros are 50/20/30, recently changed from 50/25/25.

If not for MFP, I would still be over 260 pounds. This is the best tool ever!

Good luck to you!

So far all my other "diets" have failed but I've lost almost 10 lbs with mfp. I think I've been using mfp for about 2 months. Also, today for the first time in months I am wearing my size 6 pants, where as my size 8's were starting to get tight before I decided I needed to make a change. To me it has really helped me know what and how much I should be eating.

The accountability helps me, and the tracking.

Me! My friend told me she uses this website and loves it, so I checked it out and got really inspired. I fell off track a few times at the beginning, but as my friends list grew, I started relying on the support to carry me through tough days, temptations, etc. It's the only thing that has ever worked for me. I am 6 lbs away from maintenance and I plan on sticking around forever!

I lost the majority of my weight on MFP, 50 out of my 60lbs lost. No idea what my old BF was at, but I've lost at least 5% bodyfat since being on here.

More than anything, the emotional support and constant fitness talk is what I crave. There's no one in my life right now who's losing weight, no one who wants to talk 24/7 about fitness.

This time around, it's been all MFP and it's been the best weight loss tool I have ever found!

I've always struggled with the same 10-20 lbs....up and down, up and down. I've always been active and worked out, but diet has been difficult for me. Not a fan of super clean eating.

I've tried Atkins, VLCD, Intermittent Fasting, Intuitive Eating, Vitamin B injections, etc. etc. etc. I would lose the weight with all of these only to gain it all back. Since finding MFP, I started with the recommended 1200 cals that they gave me. It worked great for a couple of months, but I found my weightloss stalled for weeks after that. Did some research on TDEE / BMR and have since upped my calories to 1430 and eat back my exercise on top of that. I eat what I want, when I want. The only thing I'm really conscious of is keeping my protein up to a 30% level. Other than that, I don't stress about fat, sodium, or sugar. I'm ALWAYS way over on my sugar!! I eat chocolate every night and have found that doing it this way has eliminated my urge to binge.

Since June I've lost 18 lbs, changed my body composition and am at 21% bodyfat. I'm in a size 4/6 and feel great! It really is simple. The absolute hardest part of all of this has been trying to stay patient and trust the process.

Pretty much. I started the day I got my new phone, and MFP was one of the first apps I put on my phone.

I've lost a majority of my weight using MFP. I lost some doing weight watchers (just online program, not going to meetings) prior to joining mfp in July 2011.

SW: 303.4
CW: 187
GW: 160-170lbs.
I'm 5'6'', 30 y/o female.

I work out 5-6 days a week, doing strength training, pitaiyo (blend of pilates, tai chi, yoga), running, walking, stair climber, circuit training, etc.

Running my second half marathon this Sun! MFP is a fantastic tool, but I have adjusted the calories MFP set for me. It notoriously sets everyone at 1200, and I hate that, I want to feed my body properly and lose weight, gain muscle - lose fat.
