What am I getting outa being here.....
-great friendships
- great support system

    I've found everything that you've found, plus a love interest. MFP has definitely given me the tools and the power to take control of my life. I came here to lose weight, and I've been pretty successful at that so far. I'm so much healthier and in infinitely better shape than I was a year ago when I joined!

    I originally came to MFP to lose weight and keep my weight under control.

    As time has gone by I have also found:
    (a) some great friends that mean a lot to me
    (b) more confidence and more self-esteem

    Besides motivation to lose weight for the first time in my life? Great friends, PCOS support and information that has given me an upper hand in my weight loss plan.

    Oh yeah, and lots of sexual tension. :wink:

    I like this app my ipod as it helps me log calories and excercise, and ive lost 36lbs for using it since january.

    The that pisses me off, is ive made alot of good friends on here since i joined up. Ive realised who are the ones who will stick by you when you go thro rough patches, ive also noticed that 'friends' delete you when i purge a bit or have a treat day! I ate a macdonalds the other day and lost a few friends over it just bcos i posted a status to say i was treating myself to one! We are all alowed treats, thers no need to delete people because of it!!

    I came here for:

    - a place to look up and record my calories
    - a place to record my weight and measurements
    - a place to vaguely support my friends in their weight-loss & fitness endeavors while socializing with them

    What I got:
    - a place to look up and record my calories
    - a place to record my weight and measurements
    - a place to vaguely support my friends in their weight-loss & fitness endeavors while socializing with them

    - a fun stalker
    - new friends to vaguely support while socializing with them
    - lots of support from people who are ok with my lack of reciprocity
    - A DATE!!!!!!!!! And this isn't even a dating site, apparently!!
