No offense ladies but are there any guys out there who are loving this website as much as I am. I can not believe the difference it has made in my appearance by simply watching the calorie intake. I have always been in pretty good shape and loved to work-out but I got married November 2008 and began to put on the pounds like no tomorrow. My wifes an excellent cook. However by utilizing this site I have been able to cut down the body fat and add lean muscle mass.

    I love this site. It makes it so easy to track your activity for the day. I've already seen improvements above and beyond my workouts just tracking how much I eat and how much I burn.

    Not to get all mushy but I owe my life to this site. I was diagnosed with high blood pressure 3 months ago at age 31! and was put on medication. I felt like I got hit by a bus. I have been working out for over 12 years and always thought I had a decent diet. I ate at subway ALL the time. A few days after seeing the doctor my wife put me on to this site. I started tracking what I ate and have since lost 28 pounds and now my blood pressure is excellent which means I no longer need medication. You don't understand what that means to me as I have 4 young children who I was afraid I was not going to see grow up. I know a bit melodramatic but hypertension at such a young age will do that. I owe my life to this site and will be an advocate of MFP for the rest of my life. I still have more weight to go but I will be a life long member even after reaching my goal. To a long and healthy life!

    I enjoy being able to track food and exercise. It helps push me. I have been doing weight training for the last three years, but my cardio was sporadic at best. Now that I track it all, I am driven to balance my exercise. Also in the two months or so that I have been here I have lost 6 lbs. Now just need to change my diet to build muscle mass. :happy:

    Thanks for the feedbal guys. I too have falling in love with this site. Also I too was diagnosed with high blood pressure. In fact the doc had just increase my meds from 20mg to 40mg of lIsinopril. That's when I decided it was time to get back into the gym. I have since lost 7 lbs and my blood pressure has returned to normal WITHOUT the use of medication. Logging what I eat and maintaining a consistent workout plan has made all the difference in the world.
