in Chit-Chat
I found MFP through a CNN story about someone who had lost a lot of weight without surgery and they cited MFP as being instrumental, so I checked it out.

How did you get here?

    Family friends used MFP for the bridal party to lose weight and recommended the calorie counting tool as an easy way to track my eating. Voila!!

    One of my friends was using it and she actually gained all the weight back that she lost because she was eating too little. She got mad at me and she deleted me on here, lol.

    MFP comes up amongst the porn, eh?

    Saw a post on Facebook from a friend whom I hadn't seen in years. Joined that day, and she didn't log in again... haha

    Googled "hot guys". After pictures of Vin Diesel, Johnny Depp and Patrick Kaleta....MFP showed up.

    One of the sheriff's deputies where I work was using MFP and she told me about it. That's how I found it. I'll have to find Vin, Johnny and Patrick some other way. : (

    MFP kept coming up in Google when I would search for calories/nutrition in foods. I don't know if it's changed, but a year ago, you couldn't see the nutritional info without an account. I signed up so I could.

    I got to the point where I started wanting to weigh out my food portions, and calculate calories I'd eaten, so I looked up online calorie counters and found this site. :)
