in Introduce Yourself

Hi, all! 4567 days ago, I started MFP. Like many others, I lost a lot, felt better, and gained most of it back. I had some life/health struggles, and I allowed them to drag me back to where I started. I just turned 50 years old at the end of May. Ideally, I would like to lose about 65 pounds. I will be happy with 50. I'm considering this my fresh start! The key to my earlier success was having some really amazing, supportive friends on here. I'm hoping to find that again.

    Hello, and welcome back!

    I'm only 3639 days here, but continuously, so I'll point out that the friend function is different than it used to be. There's no longer a place on your profile where your friends can post, or read to see your weight, exercise or typed-in updates. MFP friends can send each other DMs with the messaging functions, or look at other friends' diaries that are open to friends, and that's all.

    These days, I think when looking for a group of people who'll provide support, the best thing to do is to join one of the challenge or motivation/accountability threads or groups in the Challenges or Motivation and Support parts of the Community. There are a variety of options there, and a few elsewhere in the Community. If you take a look at their initial post and maybe read a few replies, you can get an idea of which ones might suit you. They'll also either describe how to join in, but some don't and generally the assumption with the latter is that you simply join by posting on the thread. (You should be able to tell for sure if that's true by reading some posts there.)

    Best wishes for success this time around!
