Is it worth joining? I read a lot of post where it is mentioned, so i am just wondering.

Yes!

If you plan to count calories then yes. It has a very large database of foods and you can scan barcodes too. There's a couple of other apps- lose it and spark people I think are two others. Check them out and see which one you like.

I started using MFP way before even considering lapband surgery and still use it today. It's a great way to keep track of not only calories, but protein, fat, sugar and water too.

I feel its a must when you're first starting out.

I really love it! It helps me keep control of what is going in man stuff adds up QUICK !

I've tried a few tracking apps , but MFP is my fav! For me, tracking keeps me in check!

I just got MFP not to long ago, so I have no friends added for support. I'm not banded yet or even on my pre-op liquid diet lol but started using it to try and lose a little weight myself..it won't let me add friends by just using their user name, only by e-mail. So if anyone is kind enough to share their e-mail with me so I can add you, i'd really appreciate it.

My e-mail is: christina5064@att.net

Please add

I sent you a friend request ! Would also love to have lapband pals on MFP also

MFP works so well
