in Introduce Yourself
Hi, My name is Diana. I am 53 and just started using MFP 9 days ago, so far I am doing well. I just don't want to lose my momentum. I need to lose weight for health reasons and am just tired of being overweight! I have tried just about every diet known to man, but found that eating a low carb diet has the best results for me. I am looking for some friends to keep me accountable. I also make sure to provide support on a daily basis. If you would like to walk together on this weight loss journey, send me a friend request. Best of luck to you!

    Click on user name 1x - a window should pop up to "send a message" or "ignore". Do neither. Click on the user name again. You will see an "Add as friend" button.
