I kind of find it fun to track my calories and exercise all in one organized place online. How about you guys?

    I told my hubby earlier last week I was hooked on this site & that it was better than FB & Myspace put together. I love the idea of making it my homepage. I just might do that. I have also went from being a die hard myspace, to a die hard fb. Now I have abandoned all my games on FB for this site! I like keeping track of what I've eatten, how many calories I've burned, blogs from others, THE MOTIVATION, and so much more without ALL the crazy drama & he said she said nonsense from the other social sites. :love: Thanks for making this a great site, I love all of you MFPers!

    It helps me stay motivated.

    I don't enjoy exercise or dieting, wish I did, but to see people struggling like me to stay fit, helping and supporting one another to reach various goals...I enjoy this, yes.

    Exactly the same with me!

    Facebook's okay, but I was getting bored with it, whereas with this site, there is a real purpose behind it and it is extremely useful.

    I have enjoyed every single minute being on here, no word of a lie!

    I just found this website after a friend showed me a site she was using that tracked what she ate. I picked this site because it interfaces with the iPhone. Yes, I do find it useful to track what I eat as well as my exercise. I have been working out for several months now and have been watching what I eat. I lost about 20 pounds which I figure might be the easy pounds. Now I am getting organized to lose the remainder to reach my long term goal which is to get back to my college weight by next summer. I have not really made any friends here but I notice that most of the folks here are women. That's nice but I would like to find some guys around my age who use the equipment I use for strength and cardio exercise and who have similar long term goals in weight loss.

    Oh by the way, I also use Facebook but the employer has blocked it at work. I only use it to play Mafia Wars anyway but that has been pushed aside until later in the evening by my exercise routines.

    Yes! I am addicted to this site. I've only been on for a week and can't stay away. Even got the boyfriend hooked with me, soooo nice to have the extra support. We are having so much fun with it!

    Yes, I do find this site fun as well. I've been looking for something just like this for so long! I'm so happy to see how many people are going through the same thing as me. And I'm so happy to have all these foods and exercises to track. It really keeps me on track knowing that I will have to come here and log my calories and be accountable for myself. I can't imagine going through the day without some form of exercise, because I can't wait to log in at night and track my calories.

    Yep, what's not to love the people here are very helpful and supportive, the staff are great (Thanks Mike!) and I find having the app on my iPhone makes it stupid easy for me to keep things updated, yeah, I'm an addict too...... in a GOOD way :bigsmile:

    I do think it is fun. Just another excuse to play with my ipad! Of course on a bad food day...it's not so fun. Glad I found MFP.

    Once I started to add friends for encourangement I've been addicted too! I'm at a desk, at work, all day and can have the use of the internet so I am always checking in on whats new! Didn't realize before how much better it is having friends on this site! Much better than my old addiction, FB!

    I have a friend/personal trainer that told me 10 years ago to track my calories. Now I'm having fun doing it.

    Yes, it's my homepage actually!

    Mine, too, though it took awhile of opening my browser, waiting for my homepage to load, then clicking the bookmark for me to recognize this just NEEDED to be my hp.... *forehead slap*
