Yea, I have..

I'm on another forum for weigh loss but it's just a chat one..Just after I joined here I posted about MFP but the post was deleted..But I did post that I was on track with my weight loss and mentioned that I found a site that helps with counting calories. But no one has asked for the url...

I mentioned to a friend and she actually begged me for the url.. Especially since she knows how much I have lost..

So looks like we will have another member soon..

    I've been telling anyone that will listen! It's hard if they dont have the time to really go around and make friends and read the forums though, I guess its not AS appealing until you realise just how awesome and supportive everybody is on here!

    I've turned a few people on to it. My husband has told his dr, my son's dr and just about anyone who will listen about it. I am looking forward to my yearly lady visit so I can tell my gyno about it.

    I was referred by a friend here, and I've referred several people too. It's something I try and share with EVERYONE!

    All the ladies at work wanted to know how I could lose weight right after quitting smoking, my neurologist followed my meals looking for migrane triggers and now my Primary for carbs since were trying to get my sugar down. I tell everyone, this is so much easier than the "S" people and a lot more cost effective than the WW site (and easier to use).

    All the time. when someone asks about my weight loss and how i'm doing it, i tell them about MFP. I have recruited a few of my friends and family members. LOVE iT!

    I have tried but no takers yet. I recently had a friend join weight watchers and quit so I am hoping she will convert haha.

    Every time someone makes a comment on my progress I mention the site. I say how easy it is to use and completely free!
    My biggest selling point is the community and friends feed-this site lets you surround yourself with motivating people and I think it's what has helped the most. I haven't followed up to see if any joined. I just planted the seed. When they are 'ready' they'll know they have a place to go.

    No-one has noticed my weight loss, yet..Once they do then I will tell them how I've achieved it..

    I'm to see my gyno in a few weeks so it will be interesting to see if my he and his receptionist notice..If not, I will just casually mention how much I have lost..

    I've told my whole family about it. My mom is a college professor and teaches a health and wellness class. She introduced MFP to her classes this semester.

    I had a few different friends tell me about MFP, and once I joined many others from a different forum I hang out on have joined.

    So many people have noticed my weight loss and a lot of them ask how I did it. I tell them how MFP changed my life. Some join, some don't, but I tell everyone!!! I have posted about it on Facebook as well. :bigsmile:

    I'm new here but mentioned it to a couple of friends on my facebook who commented about wanting to lose weight. Wait and see if they join up or not!
