    I'm really loving this site! This is my second time joining and my first time reading through the message Boards- it's really nice to meet so many people who are all trying to improve their health and lose weight.
    I actually deleted my facebook and tagged account as I want to focus only on losing weight..so..this is the only site I am currently addicted to!
    I still have a long way to go and I plan on using MFP everyday. Feel free to add me, as it's always great meeting new people :)

    I guess im still pretty new but YESS I am ADDICTED!! I'm hardly ever on Facebook anymore since joining MFP!! I LOVE it and I feel that this is just what I needed...to actually log my food and see exactly how much I'm eating has been really helpful!! New encouraging friends doesnt hurt either!! :D

    I have tried so many different diets, and even tried logging my food and exercise before, but nothing ever stuck. this is the longest i've ever been committed to a lifestyle change (not a diet)!! I joined about 3 weeks ago, and I love it here! Logging everything is so easy, especially with my phone app. I just ate out at a restaurant and logged my food right there! It's so easy to use, especially with the food database. Before, I would have to look everything up, do the math on my own and just hope for the best (not to mention either lug around a binder all day or just try to remember everything I ate and log it at night). Now, I just click a few buttons and it's done! And I love being able to see how many calories I have left for the day- now I am able to plan my meals better and know when I get to have a treat, or when I need to cut back!

    And the motivational/community aspect is really helping out a lot. I'm happy for others when they lose weight, or have a great workout, and I know others are happy for me too. It's a great community and a really good way to stay motivated. I'm loving this site. I have logged on multiple times a day every day since I started. Just a little while longer- maybe one or two more weeks- and I will have formed the habit and it will be second nature to keep logging on everyday! I've lost about 7 pounds so far (my tracker says 5 but I put the wrong weight in at first so now it's messed up) and I'm so excited to keep losing, and keep using MFP for a good long time!

    I'm addicted as well. Can't go a meal or workout without logging in right afterwards. I think the reason is that it is easy especially with the phone app. Plus there is no diet plan to it like other sites, you can eat what you want. It's all up to you. It's very self directed which I love

    I have been working at replacing an addiction to food to an addiction to MFP! It is a wonderful community, and has been very supportive of me. I joined last year, but didn't take it very seriously. I recommitted this last January, and being committed has made all the difference. I wish everyone luck on their journeys, and anyone is welcome to add me for support. I am happy to be a part of this! Best! :flowerforyou:

    I've been on this site for a little over a month. A friend of mine turned me on to it when I told him my doctor suggested calorie counting. I had been doing that other weight loss program that involves points, shall we say. I lost the majority of my weight through that program, but reacehd a road block. Since joining I have lost two pounds and plan to coninue my weight loss with MFP. I downloaded the app for my Blackberry and it makes it so easy to track my food where ever I'm at. Yes, it's true, I'm a MFP addict. I'm even addicted to weighing and measuring. I'm so glad to be on this sight and to read all of the inspirational stories of others who have lost weight. It keeps me motivated.
