I found it on google apps back in 2010. I was already losing weight on my own, and was just looking for fitness apps, I didnt count calories but i liked the social aspect of it.0

i didnt even know there was an app for the mobile phone0

My father was on active duty so he used it to keep in shape for weigh ins. That's how I found out about it. I actually made like two other accounts on here before this one but I kept just doing it for a day or so and not caring enough to keep going. Which was dumb and I wish I didn't. But, *shrug*. Better late than never, right?0

My cousin recommended it to me last year after I told him that I really wanted to lose weight and I've been pretty addicted ever since. I've been trying to lose weight for years, however I usually manage to lose weight but then I put it back on again and more. This time it is for keeps. We've got this.0

Looking for a calorie counting app. Through the app store on my phone. ????????0

My friend who had been very successful here kept badgering me to do it.... I kept telling her I didn't have time to count calories.... I'm so thankful she kept on and I gave in to shut her up0

I saw the MFP app in a magazine, and decided to give it a try. Best decision ever.0
-
I googled "why can I lose weight while doing insanity" - it took me to the forums. i signed up and quickly learned its because i was eating waaaay to much! That was a year ago, never looked back!0

My company is a corporate partner for MFP (Sodexo)...all of our recipes across all lines of business are loaded here, and all of them have barcodes for people with SmartPhones. I was given the informational packet so I could talk to our guests about it, and even created a profile. I never used it though, just used it for demonstration purposes. One of my guests took it very seriously, and was doing such a great job! I remember when she came in and the difference was noticeable. She had lost 50lbs. I asked how she did it and she smiled and waved her phone and pointed to the barcodes on the menus. "MFP, duh!"
I activated my profile and have been here on and off since. I know my progress would be better/faster if I just stuck with it...I'm trying...0 -
I started counting calories in a notebook a few years ago and thought there had to be an easier way. Googled it and found this site. So much easier!!0

Found through a Google search. Had to sign up in order to see the food database.0

I was reading articles on CNN and clicked on a story in the Lifestyles section about a woman's weight loss success story. She used MFP. I was curious so I did a Google search for a link, looked around on the website, liked what I saw, signed up and never looked back.0

Was recommended it by a bodybuilder0

I was reading All You Magazine and they recommended this website. Joining this website is one of the best decision I've ever made.0
-
A friend recommended I log my food on the app and it went from there, it took awhile for me to get serious but boom!0
-
My daughter told me about it. She had lost a bunch of weight before she got pregnant, using this app. After the baby, I joined MFP with her while she lost the baby weight. My loss has been slower, but I'm not 26 anymore!
I quickly found a lot of other women around my age who were succeeding, and off I went.
The forums can be a bit dangerous for some, and you have to check the food database to make sure entries are accurate sometimes, but considering it is a free app, I love it.0 -
Googled "Best Weight Loss App" sitting in an airport waiting for a flight home from a vacation on which none of my clothes fit well. Almost 18 months ago...0

I was reading an article in a magazine. The lady lost over 100 lbs. using this sight and it's better than paying a weekly fee and going to meetings. I like the instant proof that the more you move the more you can eat and still lose.0

I noticed an NCO in my unit loose a good bit of weight and he was well into his 50s I asked how he did so well and he showed me MFP and then I made an account that was in October 2012.0
-
I started recording my food on another app: LoseIt. Was doing that for about a month when a co-worker/friend encouraged me to sign up for MFP so she could help "keep an eye" on my food intake (lack thereof at the time). Best decision EVER!!!!0
