in Chit-Chat
also what made you register and join? For myself I was searching google on reviews of the T25 training program and this site came up.

What about everyone else?

    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.

    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?

    I noticed that one of the managers at my local supermarket had lost a lot of weight. I asked her how she did it and she told me about myfitnesspal

    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. :D

    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 up :D

    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!

    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...

    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!!

    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. :)
