in Introduce Yourself
Hey there,

A friend recommended the mfp android app and I LOVE it! Works so much better than the Weight Watchers tracker on my phone and it's FREE!!! I've been trying to lose 30 lbs for years (since having kids) and all I do is gain and lose the same 10 lbs over and over again. My friends and I are doing a Biggest Loser competition amongst ourselves but I haven't been doing well because I never log my food. I think this app will change everything.

    You are thinking right! MFP has helped me. It tracks EVERY calorie! It even has bacon grease (I thought that was just a southern thing). Good Luck on getting healthy!

    I love this site. I am doing a Biggest Loser program here where I work on an Army installation. This site has been great for tracking everything that I am doing, and I have been very successful in the program so far.

    I like this better than WW too. I like knowing what I have eaten all broken down, not just in POINTS. I hope you like it here, friend me if you need some friends!

    Welcome! I use the app both on my Android phone and PC and it works very well. If I don't log my calories, I am really bad, just keep slowly gaining over the years, if don't stay right on top of it...this way I stay honest with myself! Best of Everything to you in your journey here!

    I had a lot of success on the old points program at WW, once they changed to the points plus plan I gained and lost the same couple of pounds every week. A friend told me about mfp so I decided to put in all my food from my ww tracker for a day. I found out why I wasn't losing any weight on the new plan! They were giving me way too many calories (over 2000 for 33 points). I love mfp because it lets me eat anything I want like ww, but I just have to track it. AND I don't have to count so high - it does it for me!

    I am in the exact same boat. I am 3 weeks in to joining Weight Watchers again (go to meetings, not online), and wasn't that impressed with their iPhone App, that costs money. My girlfriend told me about this site yesterday, and already I am excited about how much better MFP is! I love that it reminds me of my other favourite site, Facebook :) I am also doing a Biggest Loser Competition with some girls from work (and have the workout DVD's and books), so I think if I am able to combine all 3, I'm bound to be successful - right? Best of luck on your journey. Friend me if you'd like!

    I've belonged to WW online (and in person) more than once:blushing: and I too find MFP to be fantastic (and the price is just right!!) Also the support here can't be beat:smile: Good Luck and feel free to friend me if you wish.

    I also left WW and came here. It seemed like WW was my favorite charity. This is a great, free site.

    I would love to be your friend so that we can support each other, if you like.

    LOL! I called WW my payroll deduction. I'm thinking here that worst case, I stay about the same weight but for free and best case, I actually lose weight and it's still free.
