I was looking for a way to count calories and downloaded like 4 apps for my iPhone this is the only app that actually had a huge variety of foods so I stuck with it a while. It wasn't until months later that i even knew there WAS a website lol. Sadly, I slid back and fell off the wagon/gained the weight back. But I came back in August and have been here daily since.0

I met goal while on the Slim-Fast Optima Plan. Then they changed plans to one that I and many others weren't happy with. One gal from a form I was on back there let me know about this site and I have been here ever since! It's been great for me being on maintenance and also great for my pals from the old site and new pals here, to get healthy. I still log my food and exercise daily, just like when I was on the journey downward at SF.0

the (veggie) farm that i have a CSA share to posted a link to a local foodie blog and in that blog, one of the contributors mentioned that she was training for a half-marathon (so was I) and that she had found this site and it was really helping her adjust her eating patterns and treating food as fuel for athletic performance. Sounded exactly like something i would want to check out, so i came on here and the rest is history! (I've lost about 35 lbs in a half year with MFP and had lost only 15 in the half year before that!) My goal has always been to become physically fit w weight loss as a nice side-benefit!0

Some friends of mine started using an app to track their calories at the beginning of last year. When i saw them at a party in March, they looked great so I inquired about what they were using. I downloaded the one they told me that instant and entered my info. But when I told it my weight, how much I wanted to lose a week and my goal weight, it told me that at a rate of 2lbs a week I would lose 30 pounds by April of 2011. O_o No matter how I entered, it couldn't do simple math to give the right date. So I figured that if it couldn't even figure that out, I didn't want it tracking my calories.
But I liked the idea of very detailed accountability (I'm kinda weird like that) so I searched for more apps of the same kind. Downloaded all the free ones, entered my info into all of them and tested the UI's on all of them. I liked MFP the most so I deleted all the others and kept MFP. Started tracking the next day and never looked back. And I still love getting uber detailed about what I'm eating. I use free time to plan out meals days in advance and search for foods and put new things together using the app all the time. I'm in the app more than any other app on my phone. lol I've used the website every now and again, but really only discovered how great the message boards are in the last day or so, so I've been hanging out here when I have the time.
Oh, and the other app did finally fix it's math issues. I was showing another friend the app and downloaded a few to show the different options (and how MFP was superior) and noticed that when I entered all the info in that first app months later, it gave the right calculations.0 -

I found MFP in Parents magazine. There was an article on losing weight and online help. This one was free. Went online to check it out and it had exactly what I needed. Something to make me accountable for what I eat and how much exercise I do. I am have only being doing this for a few days, but I already LOVE it!0
