Excited to Be Here!

Hiya all,

I've had the MFP app on my phone for close to a year now but recently hopped on the website...I'm taking the next step of moving away from being a solo user of MFP, a little nervous but doing it anyway.

I get gung-ho using the MFP phone app and stick pretty close to my food/exercise plans for about 3-4 weeks and feel great...but the minute I go off my plans then MFP becomes my frenemy and stays that way for a while.

I think if I got to know some people on here, maybe even some in my area, that I might get back up quicker when I stumble instead of accepting 'it's-all-black-there's-no-gray-area-complete-and-utter-defeat'. I deserve better, as we all do.

I've read a lot of your posts and can relate to the pain/challenges of being overweight and wanting a better life, both physically and emotionally. And after reading some of your chit-chat, fun and games posts, I'm smiling knowing you guys have a good sense of humor...a little twisted sometimes, lol, but good. :tongue:

I'm headed out for a quick run/walk, but like I said happy to be here and looking forward to getting to know some of you and perhaps getting involved in some of your challenges! Thanks for allowing me to post, introduce myself and hopefully provide mutual support going forward.

    Hi! Let me give this post of yours a little bump :) A lot of them go unnoticed in the introduction thread. But I think it is nice of you to have taken the time to write it, I, for one, never did :)

    Feel free to add me, if you wish, too.
