Newbies Please READ ME (2nd edition)

Wow, look at all the new faces! Welcome all of you guys that have joined up in the last few days and weeks. I guess it really is true what they say about new diets starting in the spring (although we don't call it dieting, we call it a lifestyle change)

Anyway, don't get me wrong, I don't mean Newbie in the derrogatory sense, we are delighted that you have decided that MFP is a good place to start your journey (or continue it!). Over the past 6 or 8 months some of us have put out some great, informative posts that have helped many on MFP. I hope you will take a few minutes and read them, they can be very informative and may head off some questions you ask before you ask em.

Need help navigating thru this journey. How do you get friends on here for support and motivation?

Hi. You just click on the picture of the person you would like to be friends with and send them a friend request. It's usually best to send a little message with it. Some people won't be friends without a message at least. You can also look at people's food diaries to peep what they eat if their diary is public. Mine is. Feel free.

Just getting started as well & would love to have some friends to motivate & share advice.

No idea what those threads are but read the stickies...they are what the majority find helpful

And welcome

MFP works but you need to commit to it

Good luck
