What brought you to MFP?

I stumbled across the forums a while ago and had poked around the site a few times. I began losing weight last year by lifting weights, walking a lot, and eating healthier. I didn't count calories or own a scale so I can't tell you exactly how successful I was, but I manged to go down about 3 pant sizes. This year, however, has been a big stall, despite the fact that I kept up my better habits for the most part (fell of the lifting wagon for a month and a half, and also went through a flaky lifting period).
I've recently added running to the mix - I'm about to start C25k week 9 - and I decided that I also need to track calories for a while so I can really see where I'm at. MFP seems like a great place to do that. I also broke down an bought a scale earlier this year. So, now that I am armed with more information, I hope to get past this stall and transform into a newer, fitter, and smaller me!
Oh yeah, the iPod app finally pushed me over the edge and got me to actually sign up here.0 -
I downloaded the app on my phone to track my calories and exercise. My counselor suggested I track my calories in and burned with exercise as part of my treatment for emotional eating. I found the community when my phone could not get a signal. I'm hooked because anytime I need some support all I have to do is reach for my phone, which is always by my side, or log in on any computer.0

I had seen several of my friends on fb making posts about their calories and exercise, so I looked for an app on my phone. I actually used a different app for quite a while then that app had major issues they couldn't seem to fix so I went looking for another one. I found MFP and love it. There is a lot of people here that keep me accountable when I don't have the encouragement at home. I don't think I would still be here if it wasn't for everyone here.
how did you get all three of those pictures as your profile picture? My Virtual Model hates me0 -

I was actually on Facebook visiting Shay's wall (shay from Biggest Loser) And I kept noticing a girl posting how many calories she had burned doing whatever excercise so I sent her a message and asked her How the heck do you know you burned EXACTLY 542 calories? And she told me about MFP. I have been here everyday since! (Although my tracker lies and said this morning was 60 days lol) Although that girl no longer logs in here I keep her as my friend in hopes she'll come back and see how she helped change my life. I was always struggling before without any support sysytem!! Even though I have not yet found someone to workout with on a regular day to day basis it ok now because I log in my workouts and my friends here give me the support and atta girls I need! I continue to learn from others and am able to teach others what I have learned over the years. It is a win-win!
