I'm I wasting my time on this

Down 26+lbs in 88 days. This app is marvy!

No keep going with app it's not a waste of time, and for those whom states that one should not eat over 1200 cals is very untrue, everyone has different caloric requirements and shouldn't be compared to each other. The bottom line is you get out of the app what you put in. The only down side I could mention that lately I've noticed heaps of adds pop up on my diary which is extremely disconcerting to say the least.

If I don't use the app I have become less mindful of what I'm consuming and put on weight .
I'm rubbish at eyeballing portions and they can get bigger and bigger if I let them.
Btw I am tiny so can do 1200 easily , I eat more based on the exercise cals I eat back

It won't waste your time, YOU WILL. And this app won't make u lose weight, ONLY YOU will. It is just a tool for you to use, use it wisely and be honest with it and YOU WILL see RESULTS.

That's not accurate. There are some people with medical conditions or who simply aren't very large or active who must eat fewer than 1,200 calories to lose weight.

It is for the member to decide what her calorie max should be. If there are any doubts, a doctor or nutritionist should be consulted.

Really appreciate your feedback everyone I'm going to give this app my time. Now I have it synced with all my fit devices. I'll keep everyone posted.

Can I just ask, how did you see my personal data on my cal intake? It's been a busy day today, hence the increased cal intake

I was just making a general statement. I didn't even try to look at your personal data. Good luck.

I use it everyday. I'm on a 154 days streak. Last year, I went camping and lost my 200+ day streak. I've lost 70 lbs so far. So, it's all up to you, what your goals are, and if you're motivated to log in everyday to stay on track. If this app doesn't do it for you, that's ok. Find something that works and stick with that.

I use this daily, to me its invaluable for measuring my food intake and nutrient macros as well as logging my exercise trends. Case in point, a tray of cup cakes arrived at work yesterday for somebodies birthday, they sat next to me all day. The one thing that kept me from eating one (sadly) was plugging a generic cupcake in MFP and seeing it tell me it was 370 kcals etc. No cup cake consumed and another win for the app.

I started with MFP in January of 2015. I really didn't take it serious for a month or so, then on Feb 14th 2015 I decided I would log everything and eat within the calorie ranges and macros the wizard set for me. Since that time to this day I am 99 lbs lighter. Yes, it works. Just don't lie to your food diary, log everything that passes your lips, and it'll work. I am living proof. I have about 15 more days to go before I hit my one year goal of losing 100 lbs, and I likely will surpass that. I mixed in tons of exercise along with dieting with this app, but all that did was give me extra calories to eat. I never ate back more than about 30% of my exercise calories, and tried not to eat any of them back if possible.

hm - yes. many use it daily/religiously.

It will only be a waste of time if you DON'T use it daily/religiously.

Up to you whether you want to make it work or not.

Hint though - eat more than 1200 - that doesn't work for anyone.

This!

I actually use this app to plan my meal for the whole weak (breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner) c: It helps me make sure I know what I'm eating and prevents me from diverging from my dietary plan!
