Hi,

I've been logged on to MFP for some time but didn't ever really use it well. To be honest I didn't understand the power of community and friendship support but since I've moved cities and don't have my training buddies around me I seem to have avoided getting out there. So, I need some support. I know that if I go to my local jogging group, attend my local boot camp class, I will meet new people but I've put on weight and I feel like hiding........time for change!

If you could take a look and be my virtual buddies I think that will help me to get going. I've spend some time this morning looking around and working out how to best use this site so that I get the kick start that I need. I know that when I workout and keep slim I feel great and I'm too frustrated to let this carry on. So many of you are inspirational and so encouraging, this has to be my way forward!

Thank you!

    Thank you all for your support. So far I have a bunch of friendly fitness pals......two days in and I'm really motivated by others. Early days but feeling positive. I can see that sharing my diary etc with others is the way forward. I hope that you've all had a good weekend.

    I'll be happy to help share my limited knowledge. All I know is MFP works best if you're honest with yourself in your diary (weigh your food) and if you find inspiration and support from the community of awesome people on here.

    Friend request sent. Best if luck with the health and lifestyle changes.
