My name is Amy and I am trying to lose weight without paying someone for their food or to weigh me. I use to 255 lbs and I am now 209 lbs. I was using a similar app, but I have found My Fitness Pal to have more foods and exercises. I love eating foods you can find in the local grocery stores and restaurants.

    I'm new to myfitnesspal.com and so far I love it. I love not having to keep up with the calories and having the excercise input in there too. I haven't really figured my way around yet but working on it.

    I am on my first week of using MFP, but really finding this a helpful tool for my personal accountability and emotional support. I have 105 lbs to lose so this will be an amazing and lengthy journey, but I am doing it! Looking for really strong motivational support from others with large amounts to lose to go through this together with..... I

    I have been on here for 7 months. Not everyday, but it has helped me kick my coca cola addiction! Goodluck!

    Hi all, I'm Michele, and I've only been on a few days. I've tried all kinds of things and I just seem to gain more than I lose. I have a couple friends from work on here too, and they are great support. So far I haven't lost anything, but I've certainly gotten more active and have been watching more closely. I have about 70 or 75 pounds to lose until I reach my ultimate goal, but I am motivated and looking forward to the challenge. Good luck all!

    I joined My fitnessPal about 2 weeks ago and I love it!! I read about it inshape magazine and it has been great. I am training for a bikini show in april and I am so accountable now that I am logging my food on this website. Its hard sometimes to stick to a super clean diet but I know it will be worth it in the end. I just had a baby at the end of November and I am getting antsy and impatient to get back into all of my prepregnancy clothes. I know it will happen, I just want it to happen NOW!!
