    Yey, I found you guys. I didn't succeed with Mfp in the past but with you being here, I have high hopes. Thanks for creating this group.

    Hi CC people! I am trying hard to figure out all the different sites... but I think I am settling into MFP. Had a big lunch of dim sum (chinese tea lunch) and so had a very light dinner of lettuce and hummus toyesterday. No work out but it is the holiday weekend and I will start up again on Tuesday.

    So far so good on this site for me. No major roadblocks to speak of. Except a couple inside my head... Ha HA!
    Hey I still with the flotilla though.

    Welcome to MFP! I migrated here from CC a few months ago. I was known as murrill on CC, but someone already claimed the name here, they say. Anyway, I like it here. As someone mentioned, the recipe analyzer is good, and I find the food database to be easy. I went through a period of logging both here and on CC, and the difference in total calories was usually around 100 calories (MFP showed the higher number).

    Greetings to all--I was on CC on and off for a number of years, mostly just to log and track my progress. This year I look forward to trying MFP with the support of new friends here. Wishing the best of luck to us all!

    Hi all,

    I was a longtime user of CC like most of you. Even though MYP and SP are available, I'm looking into creating an alternative application. If you're interested or know others who may be also, please email me at marcus.j.johnson21@gmail.com to stay abreast of progress. Also, I would to ping you in terms of functionality you need.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Trish. Saw your message over on CC. How did you go about inputting all your CC foods, recipes, etc over here? I have all those zip files downloaded from CC and don't know what to do with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi walijan - I don't know ! I remember did my Wright manually using whstvthey sent , then I spent the whole month so far slowly finding foods etc that are correct and add up same cc and nutrient wise with cc as I don't think we can import. The recipes are same but you can import from a website. One of our other Long term cc ers kindly offered use of his website if you want to upload the recipes then download to this . Of you look at chelarocks posts under here you will find some stuff on that. Also I really love to the scanner it's amazing you can just scan in everything as you prepare and adjust to your portion size ! Good wishes glad you made it here ! Add yourself to the group and you can click on any familiar cc faces to add them as friends to your newsfeed !

    I was takanik on CalorieCount and here as well! So many changes - I think the ones I'm struggling with the most are

    1. only being able to see FIVE metrics at a time (protein, fat, carbs, fiber, sugar) and not having access to the other unless you manually switch out one by one
    2. having many items be in measurements of 100g and then having to write "4.5 portions of 100g" instead of just 450.

    Has anyone found some good tricks for using MFP they'd like to share?

    Hi - I can see more metrics than that under the bottom 'nutrition 'button . After I click on close out day I go back click on that can see 11 others? I'm not a pay member I use free app just in case there's a difference ?
