Be honest, what would you do?

    When I am away from home I use my i-touch. It doesn't have GS so when I am away from a wi-fi source it will still let me work off line on the data base. That has really helped me so far. I have counted calories without internet help, but MFP has been really nice & motivating. I could do it, but I'm not sure if I would long term yet. I am hoping once these healthier habits become more habit forming I won't need to rely so heavily on it. MFP is a part of my plan right now.

    It would not be easy - BUT - I would log everything. This website has helped BIG TIME in giving me a better understanding with what foods have what caloric value.

    As far as the keeping track of how many calories I eat, I could do it but honestly I would probably slack off after awhile. I don't think I would gain it all back though because I have changed the way I eat and I do kind of keep a mental tally estimating the calories I eat. I really do hope that I never have to worry about MFP going away!

    I'd probably be ok now that I am in maintenance, but I love my MFP! We'd have to form a colony of MFP apocalypse survivors.

    Yes I would and have! About 2 weeks ago, I lost my internet service due to severe storms in my area. It was out for 5 days, so I got my old fashioned pen and pad of paper out and tracked my food and calories each day of those 5 days.:happy:

    I love MFP. . . and all my friends that I have made here as well as the support and advice. . I will say when I lost it the first time in college. . I did it without a scale in my house. . with just a Calorie King book and a food diary. . . So it can be done. . I am enjoying being here though. . .

    I could easily manage my exercise and food intake, but i'd be an epic, EPIC failure without the amazing guidance and support of the amazing, incredible and utterly unselfish friends I have on this site, so I'm afraid without mfp I'd collapse and crumble.

    Yes, this!

    i COULD do it.. i WOULD do it.. HOWEVER.. i come here for support. i don't have the same support system in the outside world as i do here.. i would probably go join some type of support group.. but it still wouldn't be the same as being able to spend the time i NEED to here.. MFP really gets me through the tough stuff...

    nope . . . I mean I could . . . but nope- I know enough about healthy foods etc. but the actual tracking I might start for a day or 2 but after that I would lose the umph. MFP makes it easy to log, play with my numbers to see what I can eat, and to track my exercise- and I LOVE my MFP peeps!!!

    I've done it the old way (pencil and notebook) before. It's just so much easier here. I don't have to pull out the old calorie counter books, for one thing, and I don't have to add everything up for another.

    i could do it on paper, but i'd miss conversing with my mfp friends....

    I started with pen and paper several weeks before joining MFP. What MFP does for me is gives me fantastic people for support. I believe I could go back to pen and paper, but I would miss the amazing people, the forums and the knowledge that there is a whole entire group of people out there battling the same issues I am.

    The internet better not go anywhere, but in case it does, I do have awesome survival skills and emergency stuff.....

    Way to think Paul.

    I lost 30 pounds without MFP! and about 10 with! so i know i could do it. All I did was eat relatively healthy (fruit and cereal for breakfast, wraps, sandwiches or protein bars for lunch, and pasta or salad for dinner) and exercised a lot on the bike or action motion trainer.

    That would be why I have a DROID. And if that stops working.... I am an EXCEL MASTER!
