Greetings!

Hello everyone... I've been on MFP for about a week, but thought now was a good time to introduce myself. I live in the cold midwest and joined because its time to shed the 60 pounds of excess I've been carrying around for five years...and because the doctor is insisting.

A little about me... I work in the beer industry, paint, read, and am learning to play the guitar. I have an 8 year old son who is very active and keeps me on my toes. I love music and scary movies, oatmeal pancakes, and traveling.

I'm looking forward to making new friends and helping to support everyone on their journey!

Welcome! I'm a midwesterner with an 8 year old myself! Best of luck!

Welcome!!! This is a great site. I love to go through the posts during the day to keep me motivated. Nothing like talking to others that are also doing the same thing you are. I'm on the east coast but isn't the internet a great thing? Good Luck!!

I just joined myself a few days ago and I think this site is great! Not only does it have all the tools you need to make progress but the support from complete strangers is Incredible!

Than you My Fitness Pal!

When I joined 4 months ago, I was at one of my lowest points. Everyone has been so encouraging and supportive. I am stronger mentally, physically and smaller :blushing:

I am also from the midwest and just joined this week too! I love this site! I have 50 lbs to lose and more, but have to start somewhere first. I feel like this isn't a diet but truly a life style change. I haven't felt deprived of anything.

Hi everyone, I am new to the sight, but I wanted to give something a try to try and lose the weight I have been carrying around for a while. I am excited to start this new journey. My husband and I have both decided it is time to get off the couch and start doing something.
