New -Does this work?

Accountability ALWAYS increases the chances of success! This program allows us to be honest about our decisions. And we have a supportive network of comrades who are either where we are or where we want to go. Yes, I do believe it works! Logging meals and snacks is a proven and effective way to change from mindless eating to mindful eating.

Yes! I did what it said. Exercise... stay in calorie goal...drink your water...make some friends...easy.

I went from 300 + lbs. to 145 - 150 and have maintained for over 2 years now.

I've been an MFP member for about a year and I lost about 30 pounds. It works if you want to succeed and are willing to be patient. It really helps if you make friends with other members. I've been on maintenance and have kept on posting because it helps me. I like that people are friendly and for the most part, non-judgemental.

I hope you stay. :flowerforyou:

Yes it works but you have to put in the effort. The concept is simple, log ALL the food you eat, stay within your calorie goal and get some exercise. Read the forums and check out the success stories. Most people here are really supportive and have loads of great advice to help you on your way.

It can take a bit of juggling before you find the right balance for you but it is worth making the effort and of course it costs you nothing.

Good luck:flowerforyou:

Hiya!
Short answer , yes it does!!
You need willpower of course, but this site provides the tools, inspiration and support to hold you accountable for what you eat and how you manage your calories.

Years ago I lost 3 stone with weightwatchers - and put it on again!
In 9 months I've done it here without any cost. I've made friends, entered challenges, and picked up useful tips along the way.

Give it a go - what have you got to lose??

Why in the world would you be skeptical of tracking food that you eat and logging calories burned? Eat less, move more.... nothing to be skeptical about.

Whoa there, we don't need any o'yer fancy LOGIC and MATH. We need to spend hundreds of dollars on PILLS.

It works. The only thing that will ensure that it doesn't work is you.

It will give out what you put in.

My Dr says to save my money on other weight loss programs and use myfitnesspal instead. Does it really work?

I am skeptical

It ONLY works if YOU work.

eat less, move more.

repeat until satisfactory results achieved.

then comes maintenance. and marathons. and triathlons. and all other kinds of stuff you never ever in a million years imagined you would be capable of doing.

This program does work exceptionally. The fact that it tracks calories makes you learn about healthy eating and ensures you can track the correct amount of nutrition that you should be eating.

MFP is a wonderful tool to use in your weightloss and fitness efforts. Does it work? Now that is totally up to you. If you do honest logging and keep up with what you want then yes it will work....it is all up to you. It is not a fad diet or something else to blow money on that the weight comes right back. You use the tools, put in the effort and you will get out of it what you want.
