From Sparkpeople to MFP

lazerbirdgirl

Hi all. I am new to MFP, and this is actually my first post. I have been reading a lot throughout the site, though.
A few years ago, I was using Sparkpeople with much success. I veered away, and despite many attempts to get back, I was just no longer interested. I like MFP because it is easy to log calories, and it is something new - new people, new advice, etc.

As I have been reading recently through posts, blogs, etc, I have realized that there is quite a bit of negative comments on here. I have tried to let it go, but there is one in every single post! I am mentally preparing myself for some here, as well. Honestly, I am shocked my blunt people out there. It makes me turned away from getting advice here.

So, although I know this won't do much, I like to think someone with negative posts will think twice before turning other newbies off this site... I would love to make new supportive friends, however that may work on here.

Hi there! I'm new to MFP as well, and I happen to agree with you! Negativity does not get anywhere.
