I love this site... it's been really good for me. As a result I want to share it with my best friends.

I got my buddies TLCLuvNLife and KathieSwenson to join because I want them to live forever as my friends.

Who have you convinced to join MFP and why?

    I got my mom to join and even got her a few friends and now she never logs on and it drives me crazy! I've invited a few other people who haven't done it. At this point, I'm fine with it. I don't want any more of my slacker friends on here making me look bad lol

    haha- there's a girl on my facebook who won't stop complaining about her eating habits and whatnot... Keeps saying she's starting/wanting to get on a diet... then goes back to complaining about her eating. Well I told her to come check out this site, but I just don't think she's serious. lol
    But man do I love MFP!!

    I convinced my husband to join to track what he eats for at least a week. He was shocked after the first day to see how unhealthy his eating habits really were. Now he logs every day and has even started doing yoga and going for long walks with me. I've also referred my mom and sister, but they are complete slackers.

    The manager at a local restaurant heard me and my friends talking about being on a diet, and he asked us how it was going. I pulled out my phone and showed him the app and told him I'd lost 7 lbs in two weeks, and he ran off to get a pen to write it down. 4 other ladies at work signed up as well when they started noticing me slimming up a bit. They had seen me try many things (even a 10 week extreme challenge that cost $400) and not have that much success, so they were impressed. They LOVE it.

    It's difficult when the people you recruit are slackers... So far my two are going strong!

    My mom, my sister, 2 sister-in-laws, my hubby, my younger bro, one of my best friends (another one of my besties is who invited ME!), and I've told a couple co-workers about it, but haven't seen them pop up yet. Also, my mom being on this site has gotten my dad watching what he eats and working out (he doesn't use the site tho) and they're both doing great! MFP has helped my whole family!

    I found this on google. LIFESAVER. I have invited my mother-in-law: teacher34 because she saw the weight I have lost.
    My Sister, my bff, and my sister-in-law. The only one that is staying on here is my mother-in-law and that's fine with me.

    I found it by searching for a calorie app on my phone one day. I've gotten my sister, cousin, aunt, and another cousin on here, but NONE of them have followed through. My sister does okay. But for the most part, they never log on.

    I found this app in the app store in my phone, told everyone, but only 2 of my friends logged on, one uses it off and on the well.....seems everyone is interested but no one wants to use it.

    I found this when I was searching the app marketplace on my phone!
    I've invited my parents, my aunt, and a few friends. :)
    Most of my friends were interested, but weren't quite ready for the commitment...
    LOVE mfp!

    How do we get more people to commit?
