    I was motivated to find something. I googled for terms such as "online food diary".

    I heard from a friend this was where the cool kids hanged. Also, that it was really good for tracking your cals. He was correct on one account. :wink:

    I don't really remember. I think I was looking for calorie tracker/dating site. Just kidding, I wasn't looking for a calorie tracker. hahaha

    The actress who plays Carly on General Hospital mentioned that she was successful here. I was ready to make a change.

    It was so freaking long ago I don't even remember how I found it but I do know I was freaking tired of using a Calorie King book, a notebook and pencil.

    My sis used it and told me about the tracking. When I stumbled across the forums 6 months later and told her about the married guys trying to flirt with me, she was like "MFP is a fitness app, not a hook up site!".
    Lolzzzzzzzz!!!!! :lol:

    My PA suggested using an app to track caloric intake. MFP was a high rated app on the goggle app store and free.
