    MYslf, I stumbled on this place through a thread at another diet and exercise site. This one had better tools and things to help me track so I left that group and came here. Myweight loss really took off after I started MFP. I saw someone say he finds MFP addicting and he's right. I look forward to logging in every day (it's a bummer to miss a log in, then my day count starts over. Silly I know, but it's one more thing that keeps me motivated.) It keeps me honest to have to log everything I eat, every calories in & out. Seeing the success of my friends really keeeps me going too. Hope you have the same - or better- results here!
