in Social Groups
I have just been studying the MFP and found that this group is for me. I hope you will all read my profile and allow me to join you and be an active member. I am not in a position to motivate you all as yet but instead looking for motivation and support and help. I have found by reading the posts that you can become friends and talk about many things of interest and I look forward to that as well. I am planning to start my program of tracking etc. tomorrow so hope to hear from some of you. Any suggestions are certainly welcome because as you can see by my profile I have not lost weight in forever. Thanks Linda.

    Welcome aboard! There's a great, supportive bunch of people here. Don't worry too much about meeting calorie goals in the very beginning, just log everything and get a sense of what you are eating. Then, start figuring out what you can eat to get a balanced diet AND stay under your calorie goal. Exercise (of any kind) REALLY helps. Good luck!

    Let me add my welcome to the others here. This is a great group and I'm sure you'll find lots of support and encouragement. I agree with Joe, that at first just track what you are eating so you can get a handle on it, then you can come up with a plan that works for you.

    Welcome and good luck!
