Hey I'm Katie, 24 years old.

It's my first day on here and I'm just looking for like minded friends that are committed to their health and goals. In the middle of a crazy, "two roads diverged" kind of situation and thinking this is a good place to start.

Any tips and advice for beginners?
What keeps you motivated?

    This is definitely a great start.

    The community here and the friends I've made definitely help!

    Take lots of pictures along the way to compare! It's amazing the progress that's happening that we don't even realize. Also, months and even a year down the line...you'll be happy you took that "before" picture and it will definitely push you!!!!

    Hey Katie,

    I have found that connecting with others on MFP by "friending" them is not so much motivating as it is gaining accountability partners and the knowledge that you are not the only one facing certain challenges etc. I have come to enjoy the MFP home page better than Facebook because it relates to something important to me. We are focused on improving our health. Anyway, best of luck to you in achieving your goals.
