Today's will be an easy one. Reply to the thread...Why I Belong On MFP

Write as much or as little as you want. I'll start:

I belong on MFP cuz I NEED the accountability my MFPeeps give me to create a healthy lifestyle, and not just "go on a diet"...going on Month 9 and pound 45 so you guys are doing it for me!

I also belong on MFP cuz I love cheering for all my sweet peeps!

Your turn.

    I belong on MFP because I have suffered from every eating disorder on the block. I've managed to stay 'sober' and now I just want to lose the extra weight and be healthy and happy.

    I belong on MFP because this is where my best friends, biggest laughs, happy times, supportive conversations, deepest secrets, and long lasting loves are formed and stored.

    I belong on MFP because all 87 of my friends personally, and regularly make me feel something I long for and can't find in RL....perfect just the way I am :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I belong on MFP because it forces me to be accountable to myself. I started because I wanted to lose weight. I reached my goal at the end of November 2010, but am still here because it has become a part of my life. Also, I want to be here to cheer on my friends who are still working their way to their goals.

    I belong on MFP because I am a diabetic who really needs to take care of herself and I need the support and friendship I have found on here! My current weight is 152 and my goal is 135!

    I belong on MFP because my husband and I wanted to work together to lose weight and feel better about ourselves. I've met some amazing people and found some strong support along the way. Everyday I try to learn something new and so far I've learned alot! I've come to understand that this isn't a "Diet" but a lifestyle change.

    I feel the same way about point #2!

    I am lucky to have supportive friends and colleagues in real life, but I love the accountability on here and the Consistent, Amazing support! I love my MFP friends!
    I belong on MFP because all of my real life friends are not supportive in helping me achieve this healthy lifestyle. Everyone here helps keep me in check, and has helped me achieve my goals!

    I also belong on MFP to help me "be myself" while I'm at work since for some reason they frown upon crude behavior at my workplace... so I show it all here instead! :devil:

    I belong to MFP because without the support system of my pals, I can't get motivated to stay healthy. ♥

    I belong on MFP because I want to lose weight and live a healthier life. The food and exercise journaling helps keep me accountable and on track.

    I also love and need the support of my friends. They are always there to give me a push when I need it, to give me encouragement on days when I am feeling discouraged, and they never fail to put a smile on my face every day :bigsmile:

    I joined MFP because it was an app. on my Iphone and I thought, well maybe this will make it easier to track my food and something to hold me accountable?!

    I stay with MFP because I now know it is very possible to reach my goals after witnessing so many others who have reached thier goals! I now know with a group of supportive people I can do anything I set my mind too! I'm thinking I can use these types of websites for other life goals I might what to reach someday? I never realized the power of people rooting for you and the power of cheering others on! I have some incredible friends who inspire me here! Espeicially the person who started this topic!!

    I belong on MFP because I am totally awesome and MFP needs me to increase the level of awesomeness of the site :laugh:

    Really I am here becccause I need the accountablity, support, and motivation that I find everyday when I visit the site. It is easy to fall off the wagon and get down on myself because of the little numbers I produce. However, if I am having a down day I find my strong points in my MFP friends. I also have found that I am a challenge JUNKIE and I use this site to help me get my fix :drinker:

    I belong on MFP because I finally realized what I was putting my body through and I needed true support. I'm 100% for my friends here on MFP and I will support them to the end as they do me. My MFP friends and I are not only bonded by weight loss, but by life and they have helped me ways others will never understand. This is my family, and I'm honored and grateful to be here.

    I belong on MFP because this is where I have met people who have challenged me both with my weight loss efforts and overcoming my negative self image. I can find a calorie and exercise tracker anywhere. I couldn't find the kind of people that pour out their support like they do here even if I paid them to do it!

    I belong on MFP because I'm 46 years old and was feeling every year of it in addition to all the extra weight I was carrying. I feel lighter now in my spirit and that's better than losing 55 pounds by far.

    I belong on MFP because no one else would take me :embarassed:

    I belong on MFP because the accountability has been so helpful.
    I belong on MFP because the friendships I've made far surpass the "RL" friendships I have. I can talk to you guys about ANYTHING and you don't judge me or ridicule me or tell me I'm wrong. I love you guys :sad:

    Ditto!

    I love you guys like family. I can be myself, and I get rooted on when I lose .1 lb or 3.4 lbs in a week!

    I started to track what was going in my mouth (yes I said it....lol)
    I stayed cos I found an extended family!

    I love that all my baby steps have added up to nice results.
    This months challenge Already has me feeling Stronger and Better about myself!

    .....and That is why I belong here!

    I joined MFP because I needed to lose a lot of weight. I've lost a lot of weight but have gained so much more. I never dreamed, when I signed up here that I would meet the most amazing people. The daily interaction and support from my incredible friends inspire me everyday.
