Anyone using My Fitness Pal?

Just downloaded the app for free. I figured I'm more likely to use an app than a website as I'm surgically attached to my phone :o

Anyone else using it?

I dont but it looks good, sadly i dont have a phone that is posh enough to put apps on Sad
I have been on food focus though and like that website

I think the app has an equivalent website that you can use without the app? I may be wrong. I expect its the same as FF anyway though :)

I will have a better look at it later.
How much weight do you want to lose?

FreudianSlippery · 06/02/2011 09:52

Am currently 14st11. According to BMI my ideal weight is 9st6, but I'd be happy with around 10.

Long way to go! Was losing it gradually anyway but we've decided to maybe have a 3rd baby. So I'd like to get a lot fitter before we decide. I was overweight/obese with both pregnancies and I don't think I could cope if I was in my current state!

I have just put it on my phone too. I'm 177lbs and need to get down to 140. I'm looking for buddies on there too if anyone wants to add. I'm also looking at starting the 5:2 fasting and am on forums for that too. I just about fainted when I saw the result on the scales have been eating too many Biscuit, and a big doze of laziness and poor diet Confused.

I want to lose at least 4 stones. I joined the website this morning (as fatjavotte).

Strictly1 · 04/01/2013 13:31

I've been using it for over a year and lost two stone. I just use it now to keep the weight off. I loved the way I could eat what I want but it made me think i.e. if in costa I'd think twice before having a muffin as I knew how any calories it was and that it would take me over my allowance.

I have lost a stone so far using mfp. I'm mrsbucketxx if you want to add me.

I use the web site, its so easy, just fill in what you have eaten stick to the goals and it falls off.

I lost a couple of stone using it last year. Renewing my efforts for the new year and will need to go and weigh myself tonight. I'm Kirwell on MFP if anyone wants to add me.

Hi Ladies, come and join us over here! I lost 5st 10 last year mostly with mfp and mostly on my phone app, rarely visit the website. Love the barcode scanner too, makes it so easy. I have been maintaining since July and stopped logging food in November but still log in and add exercise as well as supporting people as much as I can. There are people on the thread who have just started and others who've been at it a year and vary from needing to lose a few lb's to a few stone :)
