When I logged in a day or two ago, I noticed that our number had increased by two. Welcome to the newcomers. Please introduce yourselves.
This group is a group of short folks who support each other's efforts to get to and maintain healthy weights and activity levels. This forum has been a big help to me. It's where I exchange ideas and stay accountable. I've looked at a few others groups on MFP that have not appealed to me. I don't go for cute graphics or inspiration sayings. I like that this group just talks like regular friends, and we keep each other going. We've been pretty tight knit, but we're always happy to welcome a newcomer into the fold. When the group started on the Bodybugg site several years ago, it was large. When Bodybugg was sold to BodyMedia and that message board went away, a small group of us stayed in touch, and a member found us a home on this site. Some of us use FitBits; I use the Bodybugg's replacement, i.e., a BodyMedia armband. But using an electronic device is just an option. I think at least one person uses this site to log food, but doesn't use a device to track activity any more. It's up to you.
Anyway, I was too rushed to write a welcome the other day, so I wanted to do that now. Happy Friday!

Sarah, you are so attentive
Thanks for catching the increased number and giving a shout out of welcome
I'd like to join her in saying welcome to the new members in the group. We hope that you will feel comfortable joining the chatter and weigh ins with us. I use a fit bit and am the straggler in the weighins, posting when I can and trying to stay active. This is a really tough time of year for me with long work days and very little personal time. I'm really looking forward to when my work schedule will lighten up a bit in the next few months.0 -
Maybe it's because I went on the Fitbit Community Boards and posted a link to our group A couple of people were looking for some support and since they have FitBits, I figured .. the more the merrier in our group! 0
