    Recommended to me by my personal trainer. It's been a great help keeping a food diary. They need to improve how you enter your weight workouts. Make it more streamlined.

    I knew a woman online for years who was "my kind" and by that I simply mean, plus sized and still confident, happy, attractive, etc. Then she lost around 100 lb (over 18 months or so) using something called My Fitness Pal, and unlike most people I knew (irl) who lost huge amounts of weight, she was still her same awesome self and not some weird person who only ate watermelon and looked sad all of the time...

    I was in! Worked well for me, too. For a little bit I tried hooking other friends up with it when they lamented slow weight loss but so far most people I've mentioned MFP to just use it for a few weeks and don't see any loss and move on. I guess it isn't for everyone but it is for me...I am so glad I gave it a shot.

    I was being evaluated by one of my trainers and he recommend I try it. I'm glad I did. It's a good food journal.

    I was overweight all my life, and starting around middle school, I read articles here and there pertaining to weight loss. Idk exactly how, but in my mid-teens, I came across MFP. A friend told me that counting calories didn't work, and I stopped using MFP after a month or so. During my first year in college, I started thinking a whole lot more about my health and weight, and the following summer, I began my weight loss. I lost the first 10-15 lbs without MFP. I just cut back my portions and did rough estimates for calories. I used measuring cups for both solids and liquids (so glad to use a food scale now lol). One day, I happened to remember this website, and I've been logging in since then.
