Effectiveness Testimonials |
| "As of today, I have lost 70 pounds using your system (since February). Over the last 15 years I have tried every "diet" in the book and nothing had long-term success. The system has forced me to do a complete lifestyle change including exercise and drinking water. I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a great system and thank you for changing my life." |

"Today was a glorious morning for me. I felt a little lighter so I jumped on the scale and then it hit me, I have lost a substantial amount of weight and I really am going to meet my goal. For the first time, it really feels real! I have been waiting for the feeling of failure that always comes when the diet ceases to work, but this is NOT going to happen this time. This works. The hand-to-hand, heart-to-heart support of the forum along with the wonderful database and the kindness of the people who brought us MFD, it became my reality and not just my dream. This morning I am down a total of 63 lbs! " |

| I´ve been using MFD for one month now. Prior to using your service, I spent two weeks tracking my food consumption using an Excel spreadsheet and a food nutrition book. I was excited when I found MFD. Having attempted to track my food consumption by myself, I had a pretty good idea of what I wished a service like this would do. I found all my wishes answered in MFD. I´m really impressed with this service. At first I was a little skeptical about it because there are so many companies out there taking advantage of people who are looking to lose weight. I like that this service supports people in changing their eating behaviors. This isn´t a diet, this is a life-change that can lead to a permanent shift in thinking about food. I am happy to pay $9 a month for the service - I know it´s worth it because I had previously spent hours and hours trying to do this on my own. Now I am sure to keep up my effort of tracking my food and exercise because of your service. Thank you for making this service possible, and thank you for being honest and upfront. I appreciate all the memberships/endorsements you´ve secured - BBB, secure transactions, the Fitness magazine endorsement. I feel very good about using this service. THANKS! |

| "This site provided such an excellent and constructive service that I was able to meet my ideal weight much sooner than I had intended, and it helped me focus on areas of my diet that I didn´t even know needed help!" |
|
"I went to the doctor not too long ago and she was very happy to see my weight loss and absolutely thrilled when I told her how I did it. She said it was refreshing to see someone do it the "right way".

"You people are so responsible for my losing 67 pounds so far. I have 120 pounds to go and I am so grateful it has made such a difference in my life. THANK YOU again.

| "Thanks! I´ve reached the weight I´ve wanted after 4 kids, I look incredible. I couldn´t have done it without My Food Diary!!" |

| "It seems like every time I do laundry I am adding things to the pile to go to GoodWill. It is sometimes hard to see the clothes go, but I keep promising myself a really BIG shopping trip when I get within 5 lbs of my goal weight (which should be sometime in the next month). Can you believe I'm this close? Cause I keep pinching myself." |
|
"I just wanted to highly PRAISE this site! It is better than any online diet one could ever need. Your list of foods is so large and the calories so accurate! I have tried every fad diet there is and this time it's the good old fashioned way by watching caloric intake and exercise. For the first time I am experiencing true success!!" |

"A small love note to MFD ...
I just had a lovely afternoon snack at my desk at work: a cup of vegetable chowder with shredded parmesan on top, and some fat-free vanilla yogurt with blackberries. Delicious, full of nutrients, and only 230 calories!
In the past I probably would have gotten hungry, realized I had nothing with me to eat and no time to go out and get anything, and bought a candy bar from the vending machine ... which would be full of sugar and bad fats and at least 300 calories!
How great to know how to make healthier choices that are actually more satisfying and more enjoyable than my old bad habits!" |

| "Thank you very much for a great site and an awesome help for me to lose the weight I needed to lose. I signed up to help me lose weight and eat right so that I could get my cholesterol and triglycerides down to normal. After losing the 31 pounds I was looking to lose, I still need to start medication for my cholesterol. But, thanks to this site, I feel much better and I know I did all I could to get healthier before I turned to the medication. Keep up the great work." |

| "My boyfriend and I were shopping at the store and he spotted a container of clam chowder soup. This is his favorite, so he oohed and aahed. Then he looked at the nutrition facts and saw how much fat it had in it and quietly put it back on the stand. My food conscious habits have rubbed off on him! I was amazed. And all because of MFD." |
|
"I can´t thank you enough. You taught me how to eat properly and the importance of exercise. And because of that, I am under the weight the military said I had to be or they would process me for discharge after 22 years of service." |
|
|
| "I love this. I am the type of person who does well seeing what I have eaten and this makes it not only possible but encouraging. I can see what to avoid and when I think I messed up I usually haven't so where i would have given up before now I do not. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks, 12 days longer than my previous attempts. I have lost 7 inches and 4 lbs. Thank you!" |
|
|
| "I have been on diets off and on for my entire life and I have never realized the success i have since joining the MFD family." |
|
"I love this site best of all I have ever tried and believe me I have tried many, still belong to others but have not made use of them since I joined MFD." |

I've been doing this MFD thing for a couple of weeks now and I feel so in control of food for once in my life. I can actually see what is good for me and what is bad. You basically know anyway, but it has surprised me how much sodium is in some stuff. I've been able to even out my calorie intake and lower my fat intake. It's been great! I just weighed and measured myself (which I dreaded doing)and I've lost a couple of pounds and lost a couple of inches. I was so geeked! I would love to start exercising more, but with three small kids that sometimes proves difficult. I've found that working small amounts of exercise in here and there has helped. MFD has actually motivated me to eat better because I want to see all those smiley faces on the Daily Report every day. This thing is WONDERFUL! |

| I saw a reference to your site on the American Dietetics Association listserv and decided to visit your site to assess your services. I am a licensed nutritionist and an exercise physiologist. Although I have not registered as a member, I took your tour and I am impressed with what you are offering to subscribers. I believe that education along with the proper tools is the solution to lifelong change. |

| "Boy, I just used your program for the first time today. I just want you to know that it is great!!!! Just what I needed. I have recommended that a friend sign up as well. You are to be commended for developing such an efficient, easy to use database. Thanks!!" |
|
"I think this is an excellent site! It has really opened my eyes about the way I eat, what I eat, how much, etc. At this point, I have lost several pounds, dropped a clothing size, and have established a regular exercise program. I feel really in control of my weight, eating habits, and overall health. Thanks for helping me get there." |
|
|
| "My "diet" (the foods I eat, not my weight loss plan) has really changed for the better since I've been on this site. I just proved it to myself when I "cleaned out" my fridge -- I was able to delete so many things because I just don't eat them anymore, including: White Bread, White Sugar Packets, hash browns, pancakes and maple syrup. Talk about an eye-opener!" |
|
|
| "I just came across your site today and it is AMAZING! I have tried other online diet sites, but i usually don't like plans and would rather do my own thing. This definitely helps keep track of calories and is so motivating!" |
|
"Your slogan, "Changing the way people think about diet and exercise" is absolutely true. I have exercised regularly for more than 25 years, and of course have dieted often during that time, but I never thought about the relationship between the two like I do now that I joined. Now, if I want to buy a few more calories for the day, I jump on the elliptical machine for 15 minutes before yoga, or walk a quick mile during the day at work. It's a whole new mindset for me." |

"You'll be surprised by how easy it is if you stick to logging everything. I didn't really even change my habits all that much. I still eat ice cream, and I still get the occasional chocolate bar. I just eat much less of everything, and although it's hard at first, after a couple of weeks you'll adjust to the smaller portion sizes and feel genuinely queasy should you over eat." |

"Thanks to MyFoodDiary.com it didn't take long to figure out what sort of things were sabotaging me or to notice what habits could be improved." |
|
|
| "I think that this site is wonderful. It is exactly what i was looking for. I love the recipe builder... I can´t tell you how many web sites that I have looked at trying to find a really good recipe builder. Yours is perfect ... plus I needed to have the nutritional information of foods for my type 2 diabetes that I have. It is also very reasonably priced. Thanks for developing it so well... I look forward to continued weight loss with your help." |
|
|
| "I´ve always done better at taking off a few pounds when I write everything down. Your program gives me so much more information about how to modify my diet to make it healthier than the Excel spreadsheet I´d been using. You have a great product." |
|
"I found your website. I LOVE it! Beginning today, I will be able to use it every day! I´ve seen a number of sites but yours is the easiest way to manage calories, etc." |
|
|
| "I love your website and accomplished my goal of losing my last few post pregnancy pounds. If we decide to have another child, I will certainly use this website to track my daily calories, as it far exceeded my needs with my last pregnancy. Thank you for a great service!" |

"I just joined a week ago and I'm already convinced that MyFoodDiary.com will help me keep my resolution to lose 15 pounds before my 40th birthday this year! I've learned so much in one week about my poor eating habits - and that I'm weakest during the day when job related stress kicks in."
|

|
| "I really want to thank you for such a wonderful site. I am so glad I found you. This site is really helping me stick to my plan. The reports are invaluable and the layout and display is fresh and easy to read. Again, thank you so much for such a wonderful site!" |

| "I just want to say I love your program. It is exactly what I´ve been looking for to help me understand the nutritional data of my meals and to make better choices. In just 12 days I dropped 3 lbs. (while eating as prescribed by your recommendations!). I had not been able to drop a single pound for months prior to finding your program. My goal is just to lose 10 lbs but it seemed that those 10 lbs would not ever come off. Thanks to your amazing and motivating and encouraging program, I know the pounds absolutely will come off and come off correctly....not too fast. I love the "if every day were like today" motivator and the smiley faces for making the good choices! Also, the recipe builder is amazing. Now I never worry about a recipe if there is not nutritional data on it. I just go to the recipe builder and add the ingredients and have a pretty good idea of what I´m preparing for a meal. Thank you so much for this wonderful program! I could go on and on about every aspect of your program but I´ll just end with a :)" |

| "I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy this website!! It has helped me tremendously with my eating habits, and it is so easy to use!! I am telling all my friends about it." |
|
"I think this is a great tool and I really look forward to it helping me achieve what my doctor is instructing me to: reduce calories by 500/day (1 lb/wk).Your tool is perfect for that." |
|
|
| "I have been on MyFoodDiary.com for more than several weeks and have dropped a clothing size. The results have been incredible because I have been able to see where I was wasting my calories in the past. The best thing that happened when I came back from my holiday vacation was that my co-workers were starting to notice my weight loss. This was the best boost. All day long when I thought about picking at the left over Ghirardelli's chocolates in the lunch room, I remembered the compliments and how they felt so much better than the taste of chocolate would be." |

"Thank you for this wonderful website. This is only my fourth day & one pound down. I am impressed with the accuracy of the nutritional guide listed on package labels compared to the food diary you supply. I am telling all my friends!!! This is making me more aware of all aspects of making better food choices and getting me keeping the wheels burning on my elliptical trainer. Thanks again!!!!!" |

"A little victory today! I hadn't thought I'd lost anything, but I must have shrunk in some way because this jean skirt that I haven't been able to wear in a couple years fits me again! I am so wearing it today — and I feel pretty." |
|
|
| "I just found your website today and I wanted to say THANK YOU!! I was dreading going to buy a calorie book and counting everything myself which I have done before and was NOT successful. This is a fantastic tool and I will tell my trainers at my gym about this site, as well as my friends." |
|
"I tried MFD awhile back for a trial. I liked it a lot but thought I could reach my goals by just getting an idea of how I was eating, exercising etc. and then doing it on my own. I was wrong. MFD is easy to use and it makes you accountable for your own health. I now realize as with many aspects of my life, if it is worth doing, it worth doing right. Thanks!" |
|
|
| "Daily recording has helped me very much ~ it is an education really. I couldn't believe how much saturated fat I was eating when I first started to record everything. I cut way back on the saturated fat and sugar and I noticed I'm losing weight! If you record, you learn about yourself, it's that easy and I never knew it. I would record on paper in the past but it was so time consuming I didn't stick with it, plus I didn't know how much fat intake I had because I was only recording calories - MFD simplifies recording everything because you see the whole picture, not just calories. I am working on lowering my salt intake now that saturated fat is under control!" |
|
|
| "I found this to be an extremely effective and thorough program and I have recommended it to our Dietitian at our hospital. I have reached my goal. I will continue to recommend this program to others who might benefit from it. Thanks for putting together such a well thought out program." |
