Does myfitnesspal really work? Please help :-)

MFP doesn't work. You do.

But yes, MFP is an awesome tool to help you get where you want to be and STAY THERE.

It works for me because I can be realistic about what I eat - in the past if I over ate I would just write off the day and then go to hell with it and eat as much as I could for the rest of the day.

Or - I would eat "healthy things" but note realise just how many calories were in things - like granola and yoghurt for example - packs a serious calorific punch!

YES!! It works and then some! Be sure to log your food/exercise everyday, eat enough calories, eat your exercise calories, weigh in regularly if you choose to and just stick with it. You will see results and educate yourself at the same time. MFP has been a life changer for me

Feel free to add me, I'm online everyday supporting others and posting motivating quotes etc

I don't know if mfp works. I have lost 130lbs so far. 110lbs was with fat secret and a friend introduced me to this site a few months later, and I have been hooked ever since. If you are dedicated to losing the fat, and you push yourself daily then it works. You are what makes this website work. The wonderful people on here are what makes it work. Make a stand today to do this for yourself and make it happen. If you would like to add me then send a request. Keep Punching! All Is Possible! It Is A Choice! No Excuses! Never Quit!!

yes it does , as long as you do what is recommended by the app , I know it works because I lost more than 40 pounds in less than three months . I still have 30 to go but I'm sure that I will lose them

It works if used as directed or even if you do something like go outside protein or carb recommendations as long as you don't go over on calories. You can do it the easy way, eating foods low in calories, but high in fiber, protein, and volume. Or, you can do it the hard way by eating what you were eating only a lot less of it. Either way if you create a deficit you will lose weight.

MFP is a tool that is all it is, you are the one who makes weight loss happen.You can eat and not exercise like you do now and no amount of calorie counting will make you loose any weight. If you make a decision that you will loose weight, eat healthy, get fit, build muscle or whatever you want and work to make it happen.

I've been here since end of May and love this Site. People are so supportive. When I had a bad day and still logged it, MFP told me where I would be in 5 weeks if I ate like that everyday and it was about 15 lb heavier. Sure enough the next day I went up 5 lb and it took me another week to get back to where I started. That was a huge lesson for me. MFP also sends you motivational summaries when you have a good day and do well. If you are the type of person who needs that feedback, you'll do well, just have to see all the testimonials from others to realize that

As long as you accept that all MFP is is simply a logging tool and that YOU are completely accountable for sticking with your daily calories that MFP dictates (or you can dictate if you wish), then it will work... It's a scientific certainty! I did my first 4-5 months on here without any real exercise done and lost nearly 2 of the 3 stone I have lost (40lbs to date). I have never bought into the diet plans that are out there, it's a senseless waste of money to me - they all require dedication and basic calorie counting is no different. Good luck. :O)

it does. I started about 70 days ago. and it s the first time I found it easy to track your Food and calories and through that lose weight
