Since you've started using MFP

Amen to that! I have no idea what I would do without MFP. It is the best place/website I have been a part of. The support and motivation here is like no where else!

three cheers for all of us. we are all in it together and succeeding together.....

This website has literally changed my life. Being healthy never made so much sense.

My best friend was complaining he had put on weight while I had lost it, and it wasn't fair...he can't run as he has bad knees. I directed him to this site (or rather, the app) and he's lost 8 lbs in the last month despite not being able to exercise. He really wasn't aware just how much he was eating before, though it was obvious to me it was too much. Beer has been the big thing. He use to regularly down 4 pints of beer in an evening. Now he has to log the cals, he drinks one if he's out, very occasionally two.

This is the best. I know I would have not lasted this long without this site. It is so easy to track and use. I have a long way to go and it may be slow long way, but I am in for the long haul. Thank you MyFitnessPal.

I 100% agree with you. I had no idea what I was signing up for when I started this web site but I can tell you... I can now run a 10k. I bike to work(in the summer) I know what food is worth and so I have a better understanding of what I am eating. I eat fruits and veggies several times a day where as before I liked them but would never grab one for a snack.... I am healthier and happier. I can't stress enough how this website saved my life.

I agree 150%!!! I only had 10 lbs to lose, but had been trying to get rid of them for 2 years. Just did not "get" why if I was starving myself and walking it was not coming off.

Once I started tracking what I eat and NOT doing stupid fad diets, it started to work. AMAZING! I am so grateful tomy sister for introducing me to the site. I tell people about it ALL the time!

I was talking to dear friend the other night, and she was telling me about her costume for a party she was going to - it has sequined hot pants! I said "You go girl!" And we both started to laugh so hard, because we both have better thighs now than we did when we were teenagers!!!

As I said, LOVE this site, LOVE the support we all give each other, and LOVE that I finally understand that healthy is the ultimate goal.

We rock!!

Bless the MFP creator!!!

I just started using this site, but I was doing the same thing for myself using a pocket PC with Excel, looking up all the calories, programming Excel to recalculate my calorie requirements as I lost weight, weighing/measuring everything, synching my home and work PCs. I lost 25 pounds of the 30 I had gained since my first pregnancy. (My pelvis and ribs have expanded and the flesh just naturally has to go all the way around, so I didn't realistically expect to lose the rest.)

But then my pocket PC screen died. Google docs was too much trouble to log into. The ability to synch work and home was gone, and I eventually gained all the weight back, and ten pounds more.

I just got my first smart phone and found the free MFP app. It does exactly what I was doing myself, but it makes it a lot easier. And I *know* it will work, because I've done it before. It's basic thermodynamics -- find out what you're eating to weigh what you weigh now, then eat less than that.

I had to deal with the bed bug thing over the summer and as I decided what was going through the wash and what was going in the trash, I sorted based on what would motivate me to lose weight. I'm really looking forward to being able to wear those clothes again.

I am a newer user, but agree that it is not a diet website but a life style modifier. When you see what you’re putting in and what you’re “putting out” you become more cognizant of your well being.

I couldn't agree more! I always tell people about MFP because it's so amazing and easy to use! It has changed my life and my husbands life forever! WE LOVE MFP AND THE COMMUNITY!!! I feel so very grateful!
