    I found the app in the Android marketplace. Didn't know about the online part for about a year, but that changed my life :heart:

    FREE! Had all the features I wanted pretty large food database, ability to log onto my smart phone, ipad, and ability to share with FB

    A friend was having success with Weightwatchers online, and I wanted something similar. It was the first app that came up when I looked with my iPad!

    Another Sparkpeople refugee here. I was searching for a site that was less clunky and had a good database. This is it.

    I was looking for a journal write in my food. I was talking to a friend, who's already gorgeous, who told me about this, so I figured it was pretty good!

    My sister wanted company. It turned out to be fun and easy so I stayed.

    I had been wanting to lose weight for awhile, and I started taking Kinesiology classes in college that really helped me lose.

    I went to my Google store and saw it, there's was no excuse not to try it out. Bottom line I was struggling to keep going since I'd already lost a lot before-I figured mfp might push me harder to get to my final goal.

    New meds - I was told I would put on 10-20kg on them, I'd only just managed to lose 18kg and I HAD to prevent any gains!

    I had done WW for a year then they changed the program to the new PointsPlus and I just didn't care for the new set up. Tried tracking the old way on my own but after taking a bit of a break over the holidays, I just couldn't get myself into it. Then thankfully a couple co-workers told me about MFP. I joined up and have been hooked ever since!

    Perfectly said! The site is even better than WW. The scanner on the phone app rocks! So happy I found MFP.

    Bored with WW's online site. I stopped tracking and felt a little out of control at times. Logging food and exercise works! This site is so user friendly and gets me to exactly where I need to get quickly. The database is impressive and I've never had a problem finding something. I'm saving $18.50/month and I like counting calories better than points. I'm finally losing too.

    Figured it would help me in eating better and cutting out the junk food. I confess, I can be a junkaholic. :D Been away all summer and have decided to try and get with the program again. I need some friends. Please add me :)
