Hi. I'm relatively new to MFP--suggested by my trainer to help track food and exercise. I never realized the community aspect until this week. My status is "Permanent Change." I've dealt with food and weight issus all my life and it is time to put them to rest and live outside of being defined by them. For the first time I believe that there will be no turning back. It doesn't mean that I will be able to complete this journey perfectly. Who knows what that would look like anyway!

My status only reflects the past couple of weeks. I started making changes August 1st. Since then I have lost 25 pounds. My goal is to lose another 50 pounds.

Occasionally I visit the message boards. If you would like to request friend status, I would be glad to be one of your "cheerleader/encouragers". I have some great support with people at my gym and a few good friends. It never hurts to hear a few extra kind words from a stranger, though.

    MFP can be quite useful in helping with weight loss, keeping track of calories, setting goals, and learning the calorific values of food. I found a helpful review of it, which should help you as well, as its very thorough.
