in Chit-Chat
Mine was by accident. I got a new phone and was bored going through apps. I found one site and it wasn't good. Then I saw another app and got on here, posted, logged, and have loved it ever since. That was December 2010. How about you?

    I blog. And one of the blogs I stalk regularly mentioned it. I signed up but didn't really get into the social aspect of it until about 6 months or so in. Now I'm hooked.

    My ex boyfriend/lover/FWB told me about it. Told me it would really help shrink my *kitten*. What he didn't tell me was this place is like a meat market. Forever changed my life.

    And he might read this and laugh at the description i just gave him.

    Someone recommended it on my Weight Watcher blog when I mentioned I was struggling with the new program. I've been here ever since!

    A friend of mine "liked" it on Facebook. I hadn't heard of it before, so I clicked on the linkie, and was almost instantly hooked. I owe her one!

    Pretty much the same. I wanted a phone app. I had previously joined spark, but the site was kludgy, especially the phone app.

    For me I used sparkpeople first, then went to livestrong.com and finally to MFP. I found it when I googled calories on a particular food I was looking for. I like MFP best.

    My band director from high school and his wife used MFP, along with C25K, to lose something like a combined 180 lbs. I follow them on twitter so.... here I am...

    I was going to start counting calories on my own. I had a fresh notebook and everything! While on google trying to find the calories in some item I saw this site. I signed up and have been hooked ever since. I was already hooked, and then in January I got an iPhone and downloaded the app. Discovered a whole new love for MFP!

    I can not remember how in the world I found it! or if someone told me about it. I wish I can find out some way so I can thank them everyday for finding this amazing site! It's seriously changed my life. I've gained a lot knowledge about food and exercise.

    I don't remember exactly what brought me here... I think it was a friend of a friend talked about it? Not quite sure, but this sure has become a BIG part of my life!!

    This is pretty much the exact same for me. Exact.

    I googled "free weightloss plans and trackers" or something to that nature. I just had a baby and tried to follow the old weight watcher plan on my own and it wasn't working and I was trying to track everything I was eating in a notebook on paper. I didn't want to spend any money because I am poor. I found this site and noticed it had a free phone app as well. What is not to like, I losing? I love it!

    When I wanted to start losing weight, I searched health apps.
    I was in pure amazement when I found mpf

    My daughter and I are on this weight loss/healthier lifestyle journey together. I was using calorie counter and she was using MFP. She talked me into using MFP and I am so glad she did. We can keep closer track of each other and root each other on on a daily basis. I love it!

    A couple of friends (who did not know each other) were both using MFP and seeing results. I had to check it out.
