I think there will be lots of threads on TOM, not eating back exercise calories, how lifting makes you bulky...
I might just have to take a hiatus from the forums for a few weeks until the resolutioners give up.0 -
I love to have new friends like myself that need to get healthy. Whether it's from a New Years resolution or some other reason it's all good. I don't think I could have gotten this far without the support of my peers on here.0

Probably not.
Only because it's not growing now since 99% of request's don't contain messages, as I would prefer, and I rarely accept requests that don't have them.
Yeah, I'm one of those people0 -

"I don't get it! MFP tells me to eat 1200 calories NET?! What does that mean???"
"I've been eating 1000 calories for a week and I haven't seen ANY progress! HELP!"

I was a January newbie last year, and thankfully, I found friends on here who have helped me out. I've learned a ton, and I haven't lost a ton of weight, but I'm fitter than I've ever been. yay January!0

I can't wait for them to line up at the treadmills, spend 15 minutes trying to figure out how to program it, then walk for 10 minutes....0

Hey, I was that person once!0 -
I don't mind them here...
But at the gym though... Grrrr !!!0 -
Looking at start dates, it seems like we have some successful January starters posting on this thread. If some of the "resolutioners" make this a new lifestyle, I think it is wonderful, and welcome them. I joined this past Feb, but had been on my healthy journey (lifestyle change) for almost 2 years before that. I have been around MFP for almost a year and am still learning stuff on the forums (thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge and experience!). :flowerforyou:0

Personally I think it's great. You need to start somewhere and it's just a simple fact that the good ol' NYR is usually it for most. Sure it's a real PITA dealing with the overcrowding but I just need to remember that I was there once too. I have some really nice and helpful people at my gym that really made me feel welcome in my first few weeks/months :bigsmile:0

I am sure we have ALL been there at some point. I know I have. Why does it matter?0

Not me.0

I was a newbie once, July time actually.
I don't mind any new mfp members showing up any time of the year.
They will be asking questions and I'm sure I will learn something new.
I'm sure many of this January newbies will be next January's success stories0 -
Being a newbie myself I can't say I have any feeling about it one way or the other; I'd love to have more friends, but if they are going to be active for a week and then disappear, no thanks. I'm in this for the long haul this time.0

I call *dibs* on the hot ones0

My gym has never gotten too bad in January, which has been a pleasant surprise.0
