I use it ... it's helped me lose 16 lbs this year just by cutting down on calories. It's good when you have friends who can see your diary as you think "I really want choclate ... but then xx will see that I've had it" and then you don't!

CommentAuthorMrs Ross

CommentAuthorLulu1388
yeh its an app you can download and input food and exercise, it counts calories for you. i use it alongside doing WW. obviously i focus on WW but use MFP as an aid to see how points vs calories etc! add me if you want - lulaloops xx

There are so many people out there who will tell you
what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!
CommentAuthorfloatee
Haven't used it in a while but have started re-logging again. Main reason is, have been laid up with a busted knee and finally got the chance to weigh myself this morning.. can't get iver how much have gained, so figure will start the healthy eating kick while waiting to get back to exercising. Add me if you want.. kallidra
CommentAuthornatalie2614
Ive gone back to MFP, using it alongside SW and using the notes part to log my syns. Feel free to add me - username is the same as on here x

CommentAuthormadhen
I'm on it too, and despite my scepticism it seems to be working! (Apart from when I go bonkers on banana bread, but that's my own fault...) Will look you up, I'm madcutche :)
CommentAuthorLulu1388
tbh it does take a couple of weeks to get used to the points but you really do get into the swing of things... funny you say that but my SIL does SW and i cant get my head around all your different groups and sins and what nots and all that so WW is the simple version for me..simple minds!!
madhen - im lulaloops on mfp, come find me! x

I use MFP too. I used to be a WW fan, got to my initial goal there too of losing 30lbs but I really don't like the new propoints thing. MFP is much simpler. My username is mskatypie if anyone wants to add me :)

CommentAuthornatalie2614
I love MFP, I used it last week, weighed in at SW last night and lost 1.5lb. It made me realise I dont eat enough! I was on about 800 calories a day and obviously wasnt eating enough. Now I work towards 1200 a day and its obviously worked! xx

It will sure motivate me not to reach for the chocolate! Don't know what today is going to be like though as we're at a wedding! Food isn't't standard! X

CommentAuthorLulu1388
Wedding Food is an acceptable treat :) don't let it worry you just go and enjoy yourself!!
you can also set your diary so friends can view it (whether they want to or not is up to them) but it means you definitely cant cheat as people will see what you've had! whereas when its set to private you could easily sneakily add all those naughties! haha xx

CommentAuthorLulu1388
as most of you know i do WW as well, and as they say in there, certain things happen in life that differ from the norm, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christmas's, they are all days where you eat drink and be merry but it isnt something you do all the time and cant stop doing them just cause your 'dieting'. It's one day so enjoy yourself and at the end of the week if you've put on weight you know why.... itll soon drop off when your back to your limp salads and squidgy fruit! xx

I have this on my phone, not been using it for a bit. Finding it hard to motivate myself, going to start again x x
CommentAuthorTatty
Amy - before I added the ladies on here I was the same, I thought since no one could see my food diary I could get away with the little cheats and stuff and it didn't matter. Since I've had the UK Bride ladies on MFP I've lost 10 pounds cause I know if I mess up people will know and for every pound I lose there is someone to say well done. It's a really lovely supportive community on here :) x

******SORRY IF THIS IS TOO LONG TO READ*****
For those of you who have been using this a while could you help me out on something i entered the nutrition info in for sunblest croissants as the scanner wasn't picking it up but i was unsure if i had to put the info in per croissants or per pack so i done it per croissant, this is how i done it
This is the nutrition info on the pack per croissant Energy :684kj 163cal Protein: 4.2g Carbohydrates: 21.4g of which sugars: 2.9g Fat: 6.6g of which saturates: 4.1g Fibre: 0.7g Sodium: 0.17g Salt: 0.43g
when i had put all this in the app the app gave me a total of 326 calories and the following nutrition info Total Fat:13.2g saturated: 8.2g Sodiium: 0.3mg Total Carbs: 42.8g dietary fibre: 1.4g sugars: 5.8g Protein:8.4g
just wanted to no if i had entered the nutrition info in properly dont want to think i have put too little in or too much any help would be appreciated. xx
CommentAuthorHelenW
Looks ok to me. There's a different calculation when entering nutrition info so t may give slightly different numbers than expected x

Woot! well done MrsRoss2b!
CommentAuthorLulu1388
Aw yay how exciting for everyone! Well done MrsRoss2B...gives you such a motivation when you see you can achieve it! And I know of all people how hard it is to stick at it... I have been for 2 yrs! But you just got to think, how you feel now, is so worth it to keep it up, and what you are achieving is so much better than falling off the wagon...keeps you on the straight and narrow (or so i keep telling myself!)
Arguing with OH yesterday & sorting out our 7 easter eggs we still got...do not go hand in hand... no no! x
