Well I was a member back in April, but I didn't actively get on here, and I've been getting on here for about 6 days every day actively now. I love this site, and that I can use it from my phone. Since I've been doing this over the last 6 days I've lost almost 2.5 lbs. Overall from the time before and now, I've lost 12 lbs, but I'm doing better than before because I'm more focused. I go to the gym 5 days a week, M-F, Sat and Sun, are my free times since my son doesn't have school. :-) I've found a lot of things that work for me, and a lot of things that don't. I still eat a majority of what I like, within reason. Its just better to be somewhere where other people understand what you're going through, and that's why I'm here. My goal is 1.5-2 lbs a week. How about ya'll?

    It's great to hear that you guys like the phone app. I don't have a smart phone yet - but I'm thinking of getting one just for MFP. My husband thinks I'm crazy ;)

    I don't think that sounds crazy at all. Personally, I don't know what I did before a smartphone. Also, there are A LOT of great uses beyond this app. Like games to keep your little one entertained, music when working out to avoid buying an mp3 player lol.

    Rebecca, I am so addicted to the scanner, I think its really great they implemented that feature in this. Makes it way more convenient to add into the food diary. :-)

    lifechange-thanks :-) and so far the only thing I've had any trouble with is some of the items not being available in the food database, which I did the create a recipe thing, but some of the #'s seem way off. But I just over calculate, better to under-calculate :-), now if they automatically entered in the names, to whom you are replying, that would be even better lol
