    I was looking for a better calorie counting site than Livestrong, found the app on my Droid. Ended up liking this place way better! Adios ****srong.

    A girl at work mentioned it. I downloaded it on my phone one day. Wasn't all that crazy about it since I hadn't been to the website and met all the great people. Didn't go back.

    Months later, I wanted a phone app for calorie counting that also had a website. Looked through my phone - and low and behold, MFP had both.

    Now I'm hooked.

    My best friend suggested it to me in Jan when we were both looking to live up to our new years resolutions and lose weight. I was totally against it at first. I thought tracking EVERY single thing I put in my mouth would not be something I would do. 5 months and -65 lbs later I'm still here and couldn't imagine not doing it. My friend stuck with it for awhile, but then dropped off. I'm so glad I stuck with it. MFP is my accountability partner :). The app on my iPhone is the best and I don't think I could have done it without the app. I freaking love this site :)

    I have a FB friend who had hers connected to MFP and I got right sick of seeing all that spammy crap on my FB feed.

    ... so then I joined all incognito like. I definitely don't want those nosy FB F'ers to know I'm on here.

    I totally share things on MFP that I would NEVER share on FB!!

    Me TOO!!
    I found out from a VERY good friend of mine

    My sister. And I protested to her about using it because I've used an excel spreadsheet for years to count my calories. Glad I gave in!

    Found it on my iphone in the app store and was so glad as it was the reason I am where I am. If I hadn't had something that I could log food with immediately in hand all the time I'm sure I wouldn't have been as successful.

    Best app in the world...Saved my life

    Last summer I was visiting a friend and she was watching the Today Show. The Joy Fit Club member spotlight was on a MFP member that had lost over 100 pounds. When I got home I checked out the site and have been hooked ever since.
