MFP and Fitbit sites are linked together. My Fitness Pal allows you to link together with quite a few other sites. I like My Fitness Pal because you have all kinds of options to chose from. Go check it out, it won't hurt (and it's free).

I used it and it didn't work for me.

I've used it since February 2014 and I lost over 50 pounds in about 6 months, with no exercising. I could not exercise because I was recovering from rotator cuff surgery at that time. Every morsel of food that I eat gets entered in my app. I am diligent about it and as a result I am more conscious of my food choices and I find I plan my meals better. Last Christmas I was diagnosed with diabetes and I decided to control the disease instead of letting it control me. Today I am off of all my diabetes medication, exercise at least three days a week at the gym and at 60 found the body I used to have 40 years ago. Anyone who knows me knows that I credit My Fitness Pal and an amazing group of diabetes nutrition educators for my results. Well I have to take some credit because I made a commitment to myself and work hard to keep it. Does it work - you bet! Is it easy -NO WAY! It is a lifetime journey for me, but I love the road I am traveling.

I used it 2 years ago. lost 135lbs. unfortunately, I was diagnosed with cancer again, and put 60lbs. back on. As of the first, I am back on my way to dropping that weight.

Its a great program, and if you use it diligently it will work for you.

It's the best thing I've ever used to help me lose weight. And it doesn't cost a thing!

Thanks everyone. It's hard to get started. I have know willpower.

I'm going to start using MFP right away. Can anyone recommend a step counter? I don't what a FitBit. I just want an easy way to get to 10,000 steps without counting them LOL.

Edited to add: The "spark activity tracker" is the one I was thinking about getting. My HB is going shopping with me today to see what's out there. I really don't need all the bells and whistles but my HB thinks I should.
