    I used to use caloriecount.com, which turned into caloriecount.about.com. When it did that it started getting blocked at my job so I searched for another counting site. I found one other one but the entering of cals took FOREVER so I ditched that and made one last search...MFP yay!

    My doctor thought I had lupus. I had all the signs and he did a biopsy (took a huge chunk out of me and left a very noticable scar). It took a week before I got the results back. I swore during this time that if I would take better care of myself. Ended up I didn't have lupus (YAY!!!!); however, it fired a spark in me and I realized that life is precious and short and I didn't want to die unhappy with myself. :heart:

    I saw a post on the Leslie Sansone message boards about MFp and looked it up! I'm so glad I did.

    Well my finding this site is a funny story. I overheard two of my co-workers talking about a weight loss support app they found. So I looked it up and started going full spead ahead. Only to find out this week that I need to get my hearing checked, because this is not the site they were talking about. So I'm here by mistake...lol / but loving it!!!!!!

    That's awesome, lol!!! Glad you are here :)

    My doctor recommended it to me. She's lost 85 lbs with the help of MFP.
    I'm so happy she did! I never in a million years thought that I'd love tracking my calories. MFP makes it so effortless.

    I got an iphone and was downloading free apps. I found MFP and looked it up and saw that it was easier to use. I had looked into Spark People and it over whelmed me so never joined. I love this site and it's keeping me very motivated and on track. Thanks to everyone's encouragement also.:smile:

    I was looking for a phone app to track food/calories consumed. People seemed to keep recommending MFP everywhere I looked. So I downloaded the app, and made an account here. Then I made the mistake of coming into the forums area.... and now I can't escape. Send help, please.

    I joined here b/c I needed to really, i mean REALLY change my life.. i would always talk about wanting to work out, losing weight, get in better shape... for my wife, my kids and all the guys i hang with that are fit... not sure what has made this stick as much as it has... for the 1st time its not all talk, its more... I see my goal, what I want to achieve, not for my wife, nor my kids...but for me! deciding to not only count calories over counting points, but also join MFP has been a tremendous blessing as has meeting a lot of wonderful ppl on here that encourage and give wise advice to me who knows very little about this stuff. So glad I found this place and also very thankful to y'all for the help and support on the way to reaching my goals.. oh ya, my MFP also started as an ipod app :)

    I came here through reddit/loseit. I was using the Lose It! site, but this one is plainly better.

    I came across it on my iPhone and now couldn't imagine my life without it! It's definitely the most valuable use I get from my iphone!

    I was doing a Google search for kettlebells and came across a post on here. I had been on that popular weight loss site with the orange logo... couldn't get into it and stay with it. I think because it's such a big site. I looked around here a bit, signed up and haven't looked back since!
