Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask a favor of all of you: I'm working on a redesign of the home page, and I'd love to include some testimonials from actual members about how MyFitnessPal has helped them achieve their diet and fitness goals. I have one on the home page already, but I would love to be able to include a lot more.

Would anyone be willing to volunteer a testimonial that I could use on the home page? Basically, I'd show your profile picture, your username, and a quote from you about MyFitnessPal. The quote would be short - 2-3 sentences at most - just talking about how MyFitnessPal helped you to achieve your goals. For example, something like:

"I've lost 20 pounds in a little over a month! I tell everyone I know about MFP."

Of course, don't let me put words in your mouth :laugh:

If anyone would be willing to volunteer a quote, please let me know - it'd be greatly appreciated. If you're interested, just send me a mail message with your testimonial or just post it right on this topic. I'll choose a few favorites and put them on the new home page once it's ready.

And if your testimonial ends up not being chosen, please don't be hurt - there's only a few that I'll be able to include. But over time, I'll try to rotate through as many as I can.

Thanks in advance, and hope you are all enjoying the site!

    Thanks to you all! If you're interested, just send me a mail message with, in your own words, what you think about MyFitnessPal, or even just post it right on this topic.

    Thanks again for volunteering, I appreciate it!

    Hi Mike,
    Someone suggested my post from this morning under success stories as a good testimonial for you. You are certainly welcome to use it if you like. MyFitnessPal has been key to my success.

    "Nine months ago, at 180 lbs., I made a goal of 155 by 55- 155 lbs by my 55th birthday. Well tomorrow's my birthday and this morning, for the first time in 25 years I stepped on the scale and saw 155!!! Last night I played basketball with men 20 and 30 years my junior and I kept up with them! My blood pressure is down, my cholesterol is great. I'm loving life. Thank you God... and MY FITNESS PAL!"

    Here's mine!

    I started 4 months ago on MFP and have lost 40 lbs to date. My husband started just after me and he has lost 50 lbs! I have told friends and family about this site and how easy it is to use.

    Hi mike.. that's funny i just posted that yesterday.. It has been a little over a month and i'm 20 pounds down and feel great! My husband has also lost 17 pounds.I love MFP the reports are so great to see that you've been staying on track. It makes it so easy to track calories because you have such a great food database. The motivation and support i get on MFP is so crucial. I do tell everyone i know to use this site because it is so easy! Thanks so much :smile:

    You can definitely use mine if you'd like!!

    Tamtastic certainly is a major player here on MFP---she is the one that impressed me the most!

    Laura MG is another "newcomer" that is doing VERY well!! (on your tail Laura!!)==and I can't think of her name but the cute blond who has a wedding in 3 months---she ahs lost over 60 pounds and has MET her goal the same as Tamtastic.
