...about using HCG, Cabbage Soup Diet, Body by Vi, Shakeology, Isagenix, Herbalife, etc., do you suggest MFP as an alternative?
Has anyone ever taken you up on it? Reactions?

Of my friends that are not on MFP, they did not take my suggestions to try it over other quick fix methods.0

I have so many family members that made accounts after I suggested it to them, and haven't touched them in months and months. Now I don't have much sympathy for them when they whine about being fat and not knowing what to do about it on FB.0

They don't want to listen. It actually means they have to work at it so :noway:0

What's HCG? this is second time I saw this term...0

If asked, I will tell anyone how I have lost the weight to date. I even have a couple of friends that have joined MFP at my recommendation.
That being said, I will offer once only. After that, it is up to the individual to decide for themselves. MFP has worked wonders for me but there are other "systems" out there that work.
Like an "addict" I had to get to the point where I needed to ask for help. At that time I found MFP. Same goes for anyone else.0 -

I have friends who have done the same damn thing. Finally unfriended my real life friends :laugh:0 -
I've recommended it to a few family members who are always complaining about their weight - at the most they'll go on here for a few days and then quit....
The way I see it, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.0 -
I have 6 friends that joined after I suggested it. Only one is active every day, three are on here sporadically, and 2 that haven't logged on in months. Not a bad track record, if you ask me :laugh:
Edit: There are a handful more, like 4 that I know of, that downloaded the app to use the food diary. But they never told me their user IDs no friended me so I have no idea if they use it or not.0 -
I generally don't chime in with suggestions unless I am asked.0
-
not really...I like MFP all for me!! Is that awful????
People dont want a sensible approach to weight loss anyways...tracking food and excercize is about as sensible as you can get...no magic pill or potion!0 -
mmmm chicken slurry...0
-
I like Starburst.
Those are the best kind! The chicken slurry tastes like strawberry ice cream!0 -
I try to, but some just wanna use some livestrong website, and the other wants to go to weightwatchers or something.0
-
I have tried getting sooooo many of my friends to join this site because it's awesome and it means they would be losing the right way not the fad diet way, but none of them listen! So frustrating!0

I dont talk to any of my facebook friends about MFP or me weightloss in general, They will all find out after I lose 45 more pounds and post pictures, if then, they as what i did, I will recommend MFP0
