I love this site so far! I first found it by searching apps on my phone (Sprint Evo - Android). Now, I cant imagine my life without having access to this on my phone. Its has totally added another level of motivation, inspiration, and convenience to my lifestyle.
I just logged onto the website itself for the 1st time today and am excited that there is a good support community here as well.
I've had a few health challenges the past year, and the doctor has suggested I go on a gluten-free diet. So that has recently added a whole new challenge - but I'm up for it!

I look forward to supporting one another to meet our health and fitness goals! Let's do this!

    That's exactly how I signed up for the site, was through finding it on my iPhone as a free calorie tracking app. The app itself is great since you can actually add foods with the nutrients to the database. Very convenient.

    I have found success with MFP because of the app on my iPhone...I've tried to log my food on a gmail doc (to have it online) but I wasn't great with it. But with the app, I can add stuff anywhere!

    I've actually used the app to look up food in restaurants when I've been trying to decide what to order - so helpful!

    Wow! I found this app on my iphone a couple of months ago and that's how I found out about the website. I've tried so many different diets that have failed. Ever since using this app, I've become more aware of the empty calories I was eating and making healthier choices. I slacked off because of Christmas and New Years, and got lazy for a bit after that but I've lost 5 pounds since getting back on track. I still have 140 to go but I know I can do it!

    How did you add the goals and info below your post?

    Click on the "community" link, then "signature", then you can edit yours the way you want it. for the ticker, go to "tools", there you can select your own ticker, then copy the code and paste under your signature.

    Thanks Syreeta!
    How did you add the goals and info below your post?

    The goals we all have on there are part of your signature. You can edit that using the menu at the top of the message board (where it says, home, recent posts, etc.)

    The ticker can be made from the home page if you click Tools, then weight loss tickers. If you want it on your profile, make sure to past the code into your signature. You can get the code from the ticker page under "get the code for your ticker." Be sure to use the code on the left.

    Good luck with everything and welcome to MFP!! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

    Has anyone used the scanner feature on your smartphone (I have an Evo) that uses your camera to scan the barcode of whatever product you're eating?
    IT ROCKS!!!

    Hell yes it does!! I have an Evo too and I LOVE that scanner. It doesn't always have everything but it's good about 80 percent of the time.
