Was wondering why everyone is on here? What are your motivating reasons?
I'm on here as I never lost my pregnancy weight, I'm sick of feeling like an elephant when I look I the mirror. I'm also going to Kenya to volunteer next year and need to get health and fitness up...

    I'm here because I was feeling really unhealthy and unhappy with my body and I wanted to join a site that would keep me accountable and help me to understand where my pitfalls are and what different choices I can make.

    Self loathing pretty much sums it up. xD Sick to death of looking in the mirror and seeing what I see.

    To read forums, maybe comment, and the weight loss ticker app is cool. Oh yeah, it's free here too.

    I gained the weight because of an injury that left me depressed and on crutches for 1yr. 6 mos. 6 weeks, and 6 days.

    A laundry list of reasons got me here, but one reason made me stay! "I want to be healthy, to live longer than my parents did."

    I thought this was going to be a controversial existential thread. Disappointed.

    I'm here because Fitday broke and I needed a way to log my food that the kids couldn't take and draw unicorn wars all over before leaving it in the backyard overnight where it gets rained on and is completely useless thenceforth.

    I'm here for motivation , but it seems that the majority of people only care about flirting with each other... pretty disgusting seeing women double my age posting sexual pictures, dirty flirting etc etc

    Like others have already said - this is more like a dating website than anything else, a bunch of insecure people fishing for approval/compliments.

    Pretty sad imo, I've had to take down my photo's due to lonely women trying to hit on me.

    I have a history of back injuries, some quite traumatic. At the end of June, I hurt my back again, and the pain lasted six weeks before I realized, "I'm too old for this ****. I'm tired of being in pain." That was it. Weightloss commenced.

    Im here because the exercise calories fitbit was giving me was not helping me lose weight. So I did some searching and found people on this site who had the same issue. I subscribed because they have a barcode scanner for food and fitbit doesnt. I stayed because of the community (and the amazing food database).

    I used to have an eating disorder, recovered now, and am using MFP to help me get back in shape because I have gained weight over the summer.
