    But on a rather serious side note, I've been using the app for yeaaaars now. 4 or 5 maybe. Even before I became a workout junkie. There's just something really motivating about it!

    I mainly use MFP for weight management. Tracking calories helps me maintain my weight without thinking too much and browsing the forums is entertaining and helps me keep my head in the game. I've become a little attached to the community here.

    Me too!

    I am here because I need to lose 50 more pounds so that I can get on the kidney transplant list. I have already lost 50 pounds with the help of a dietician and my doctors.This is just one of many tools I am using to get to the transplant center's goal. I do agree with the statement above that sometimes the advice around here is scary wrong. I have 5% function left in my kidneys and I am on a restricted protein diet. If I had followed some of the suggestions I would already be on dialysis.I take the good and leave the rest.

    I use it to manage my calories every day, which is very easy because it's mostly the same stuff.

    There are lots of ways to do that though, so what I like about MFP in particular is my friends list. It's good to see the regulars ticking along in the feed, day after day, doing the work. They don't have to say much; their consistency alone is helpful to see and relate to.
