Great job Jennifer! I too have become addicted to MFP. It's an awesome way to keep track of what you are actually eating, and makes you think twice before putting anything in your mouth!! Don't get my wrong, I'm far from the perfect eater, but do force myself to plug in EVERYTHING that I have to hold myself responsible.…
