    I googled something when I first started losing weight & a thread from MFP popped up. Been here every day since then. :smile:

    i was fed up with my weight and googled online diet-related social networking sites and this was the first that came up.

    I'm a member of a local mommies website, several of my friends/acquaintances from there use MFP and talked about how helpful it was, so I finally joined to see what all the fuss was about. :-)

    I used mydailyplate.com a long time ago, then livestrong took over and ruined it over time. When I decided I needed to shed some lbs I used lifestrong and did not like what it became. I saw this place mentioned in the forums and I couldn't leave fast enough!

    I was laying in bed one day, after months of agonizing over my weight and not being able to lose, so I searched my apps for a calorie counter, downloaded the MFP app, and was instantly hooked. I often think of how great it was that I found MFP that day...it's been the best thing to happen to me this year. I couldn't do it on my own, but I started losing weight immediately with MFP.

    I found out about this site from my nutritionalist, I went to her because of an initial weight loss from my vacation, she told me that this site would help. She was SO right....

    Just randomly searching for apps at the app store. I used to use Daily Burn, but it's not interactive at all. I love this site!

    Apparently I found this site a couple years ago (the last time I tried losing weight) but I don't remember signing up for it at all back then. I found it this summer by looking for a calorie counting app, and in the reviews for the one I found, a lot of people were saying this site was better

    Ironically a friend told me about the site. I looked it up and loved it. Only later did I realize she was doing the HCG diet, which at the time I didn't know about..LOL. I'm still here. She isn't. I shake my head everytime I think about the fact that it was her of all people that led me here.

    I was on a forum and someone was talking about how they have been trying to lose weight. (It wasn't a weight loss forum). Someone else mentioned this site and I checked it out. Sooo happy I found it.

    I was using another weight-loss site, and complained about the lack of features on a forum. Someone told me about this one and I was hooked. Lost 100+ pounds the first time I was on, now back to lose some that I have gained back and hopefully a little extra.

    I saw a woman tweet her diary status. And then she did again so I checked it out. And after a few more times I finally joined up. 71 lbs later I am SO glad I saw those tweets. :bigsmile:

    I was keeping a pen and paper food diary but I was sick and tired of trying to work out the calories for all my home cooked meals...would have been so much easier to eat from packets and tins! So i went in search of a recipe calculator and found this, was about a week before i found the food diary and another week or so before i discovered the forums. Glad i did!

    Exactly what I did. Looking thru ipod apps, then saw calorie counters and thought I should give it a try.

    &Here I am. :smile:

    I was trying these meal supplements and was looking for more information about them. As I googled it, it came up on this site.

    I thought to look through it, and found out it was exactly what I was looking for.

    Somewhere I can count my calories, have loads of encouragement and just love to lose weight again

    I was looking for a calorie counter app and found this one...I didn't even realize it was a whole network site for months!
