I thought that MFP was just recently created probably within the last 2 years but realized that it has been around since 2005. Just surprised as I have never heard of it yet again I was not as fit as I am now in 2005. I have a few friends who are on the streak of 700+ days and wondered who has the longest streak on MFP?

I am currently at 180 days. Whats your streak?

    I'm only at 65, but I'm curious if there are any who've been here since the beginning...even if not in "streak" form-- missing a day here and there for that many years seems unavoidable.

    I think the thing under my profile pic says I joined in 2008, I've used it off and on since then, but this is my longest stretch--about 120ish days... I've loved it from the beginning...

    I came on in 07 (September) under Banks1850, and have been on ever since. Now I mostly mentor and give advice to folks since I'm no longer looking to lose weight (haven't been for about 3 years now) and am now a trainer. so what's that? about 4 years or so. There was only a few thousand members then I think, and I knew most of the regulars, I miss some of them (some not so much). :tongue:

    I'm here since June 09 I had a great streak at one point over 400 :grumble: but RL got in the way a few times and I fell off track :blushing: Back again in full force and about to hit 115 again :bigsmile:

    285 for me today! Small potatoes compared to some of the long haulers here at MFP, but pretty good for me, who hates exercise and healthy food! ;)

    I have a friend who has been a member since August 2007. I think that's a pretty long time in the internet world.

    I think probably Mike is the only one. I think most probably stop using the site when they achieve their goals. I don't know for sure though. I am just speaking from speculation.

    My streak doesn't reflect it, but I'm an OLD timer....over 3 yrs.

    They didn't have an app, or even count streaks, back in my day. And we walked to school, barefoot in the snow....uphill both ways....:laugh:

    I signed up in 09 but I didn't "seriously" start using it until the beginning of '10. My longest streak was in the 150 day range... and, what a surprise! That's when I was on-track with my weight-loss :laugh:

    It may be true that many or even most leave after achieving their goals, but certainly not all. I have several friends on maintenance that use MFP to keep them where they desire to be. Personally I went on maintenance in 2008 and a few pounds crept up on me so I plan to stay. Currently at day 321.

    Today is the 728th day I've logged in. In two days I will have hit two straight years of logging on!! :happy:

    I've logged the good, the bad and the all out ugly days (ie: CiCi's pizza buffet in Florida a year and a half ago). No matter what is going on I make sure to log on to MFP once a day.

    I joined in November 2010. I was up to almost 300 days and missed a day because I was on my phone and not my computer and it didn't track me as logging in so I went back to 0. Im at 30 now.

    That's awesome! I've been around about three years, and I think I just hit 445 the other day.
