I do! I've had this on my phone for awhile but never really used it. Maybe this will get me going. I'm Secretariat23.

Anybody else?

I sent you both friend requests.

ETA: My s/n is virtualanomaly if anyone wants to add me.

How does MFP work, can someone explain it to me like I'm 5? What's the benefit of it? Just a log?

It's a calorie/exercise log.  Lots and lots of studies have shown that people who log what they eat lose and keep weight off.  The site has a huge database with foods and their calorie counts.  Plus the ability to add your own recipes and foods.  It also does a lot of math for you, estimating what your basic metabolic rate is, and determining how many calories you would need to eat to lose weight.  I found that exercise calories weren't too far off, but I still like my heart rate monitor.

Plus, there's the whole social aspect to it in terms of motivation and help too.

Yep.  Just like Spark.  I actually used Spark first, but moved to MFP because it's a lot simpler with less distraction, which works better for me personally.

Cool.  I used Spark for a while, I'll give this a try.  I'm bonsoirlune on that too, if anyone wants to friend me

[KaraOrNot]

I just added all of you. I am karaornot there too, but I haven't logged in months. I really need to, so hopefully this will be good motivation!

changedname - I also followed you on Pinterest.
