    45lbs lost over 1.5 years with MFP. It really, really works. Get a food scale; weigh and measure everything as accurately as possible. Add exercise when you feel comfortable to do so. Keep your record keeping accurate and honest. Best regards.

    MFP became a way of life for me. I used it to lose weight after my daughter was born, and now I have been maintaining at 107 pounds for almost four years.

    Has worked for me 35 lbs down. I am a visual learner, so when I see red, I know that I need to focus. Green is good!!! Plus, it helps me track the amount of calories I need to eat to be in a healthy deficit!

    I find sucess in not just losing weight but tracking food for diabetes. The people that don't have success are generally not logging accurately, or are just not meeting their calories.

    Ive been here for over 102 days and after losing about 52 pounds im finally no longer overweight. So I can say that it works, at least for me.

    89 pounds down from making good, long-term sustainable changes and faithfully logging everything.

    Keep logging , you can do it! I'm down 117 lbs since joining MFP. I'd say it worked for me.

    Basically, everybody who does the work and doesn't quit. It works if you do the work.

    MFP, a food scale, eating better and exercise combined have helped me lose 46 pounds in 4 months.

    I have lost 50lbs. If you log all your food and find some good supportive friends, you are on it! Good luck :)

    Last April, I started working on losing weight (without myfitnesspal.com) by walking and cutting back on sodas and candy bars. I found a two mile route I would take at lunch. In six months I was down 21 lbs, then slacked off and gained back 7 lbs. over the holidays.

    Just before New Year's I found myfitnesspal.com. and decided to track everything - food, walking calories, started dumbbell workouts and tracked those too. I'm now down another 19 lbs for a net total of 33 in a year. Myfitnesspal.com has allowed me to nearly match what I did in my first six months in half the time. I am charting the "If every day was like today...You'd weigh X lbs in 5 weeks" and found it to be pretty accurate.

    I started at 241 lbs and my goal is 180 when I will reassess whether to stop or continue. I'm a 5' 9".

    I will say it is, and I'm assuming has to be a habit, to log all food! I find myself logging calories before I sit down to eat so I stop when I need to and don't find myself surprised afterward with having overdone it.

    So, yes it works, if you work it!

    Yup!!

    ONLY thing that worked for me after years of yo-yo dieting. I was able to lose 35 lbs thanks to this site and have been maintaining for 4 months now. Best shape of my life!

    But, it's only as good as you use it. :) Good luck!
