The best bit is the friends you make. People are always looking for new friends to help them along their way and are always welcome of the friend requests.
I have made some like minded friends that cheer me on when I log in from day to day and when I am under my calore goal.
Its great to see how much other people have lost and their success stories are a real motivator :)
Get logging!!!!
I have done other calorie counting in the past (Sparkpeople..) but MFP is by far the easiest and I also LOVE the fact that you can bar code scan items in using the app on the phone!
