Well I've always been a "bigger" girl. About 5'9' and always been over 150lbs. This past summer I wrecked and was unable to move for about 2 months or so. I went from my pre wreck weight of 180 to 236. When I stepped on the scale I freaked. A friend of mine suggested the myfitnesspal app for my iphone. My obsession with my phone and mental obsession with my weight and i never forget to log my foods. The math aspect of the numbers being right there in your face is great. You have a healthy goal thats rather easy to reach. And you have your friends statuses and updates that you can read and comment on (kinda like facebook for weight lose;) Ive only been using myfitnesspal but setting my goal at losing one pound per week I find it easy to stay under my calorie goal and in the first week I lost 8 pounds. I know that loosing weight is easier with support and friends going through the same thing. =) Thanks!!!

    Nice to meet you. I love the MFP app because it is continent. It is always right there with me. I can find out how much calories is in something while I am driving around town trying to find something to eat. Without it, I would probably go over my caloric intake all of the time.
