Thank You, MFP

I just want to say Thank You to UnderArmour for hosting the MFP boards, and to all the volunteer mods and the people who take the time to post brilliant, helpful, intuitive, informative, inspiring, and often funny posts.

I was reflecting (literally- I was staring at my naked self in a full length mirror) this morning. I realized what a transformative experience I have been through.

I would not have made it to this point without the support of everyone here. The pissing and moaning, the panicked questions, the really stupid ones (to which I received considered and informative replies). Nothing was ever treated as trivial.

To those of you who are new here, absorb and learn. Read everything here. This place is a fount if knowledge, but more importantly, shared experiences.

It’s not just the weight lost. It’s health and confidence gained. Truly transformative in every aspect of the word.

I agree, this site changed my life in so many ways.


Congrats on your Transformation.

I've had my ups and downs here. Changed accounts 20 times, but one thing I can honestly say is I have learned so much from coming here about weight loss and how the body works, its frustrating at times when the people around you dont want to learn real things but i just remember one thing:

At least I learned and had the results from what I learned.

Even if sometimes it was bad results, it still taught me something.

I knew plenty of ways to fail before I came here. All the little things I picked up on these forums are how I learned to succeed. I too am very grateful to be apart of MFP and to all the awesome members who share their knowledge. Knowledge is power!

And I just wanted to add that MFP and its awesome forums were around long before UnderArmour took over. Not to bash UnderArmour, but MFP was awesome well before they came along UnderArmour was very smart to not take over and make gross changes to something that was already working pretty well (I know, I know, the glitches sometimes.....)

Now you're leading by your example.

Open. Mind. Insert. Possibilities.

100% agree. The amazing positive effects on my own life from MFP and the MFP user community are part of what keep me around trying, however imperfectly (🙄😬😐) to pay back some of that investment that others made in me.

Thank you, MFP, and MFP people!

I completely agree with everything said in this thread so far. Were it not for this community, I don't know if I would have learned so much and truly be inspired by everyone. So, a big THANK YOU from me to all of you, too!
