Out of random curiosity I'd like to know how you came across this app! :) My mom kept bugging me to join so I finally did and loved it ever since LOL. Go moms! And go FitnessPal!

    Just the opposite with me. My daughter told me about MFP.

    My nutritionist recommended that I track every bite/sip religiously on here as part of an emergency attempt to get out of Morbidly Obese status.

    Googled calorie counting sites...then I noticed the INSANE amount of traffic on the forums that are mostly women wanting to lose weight, so this place is a playful prankster's wet dream...

    My sister first told me about it & then one of my friends kept posting her success with this app on FB.

    I didn't know it existed until Tim, a guy who regularly comes to our geek club commenting on my Facebook, recommending it when I posted a status discussing the results of a study which showed that people who log their food intake are better at weight control. At the time I was two weeks in to keeping a pen and paper diary.

    Not knowing what to expect I popped in for a look and have been hooked and successfully logging and losing ever since. That was five months ago.

    Tim, strangely enough, seems to be the same weight or bigger. He believed so strongly in it that he persuaded me, but for some reason it didn't work for him *shrugs*.

    Searched the Amazon App store for something that I could track fitness with, this looked good so I bought it.

    I googled weight loss programs and this one came up along with spark people, but I liked the lay out of MFP

    Learned about it in a personal trainer course. I used old school method (pen & pad) but recently decided to give this a shot.

    I got into nutrition and fitness before MFP and lost 20 Lbs...I was googling something about fitness and MFP popped up and decided to use it to more finely tune my diet.

    Laura Wright, who plays Carly on General Hospital tweeted that she had lost 10 pounds using this site. I had tried everything else, I figured why not this too.

    I've lost 30 lbs so far (with who-knows-how-many to go), and haven't been bored with it in a long time! I <3 it!
