Welcome to MFP!!! This place is great! I have to say that I haven't added many friends yet...but i read a lot of posts on the topic pages and comment on a lot too. Also the diaries really help show what we do and do not do right. It is all very measurable and you can actually see the results of your daily activities (eating and exercise) and see how you can turn yourself around to the positive healthy road. I have to be honest and say this is the first time that I have actually been addicted to wanting to lose weight and trully conciously eating healthier...all becasue of the eficiencey and positivity of this site. I confess...I really think that I am addicted to this site, too....becasue I get the level of feedback and support that I need to keep going...consistently...everyday.

All of these people are so positive and motivational (we are all on the same side here, with the same type of goal), in one way or another. If they don't motivate you with thier positive stories and weight loss, they motivate you to be positive and supportive to them...which in turn makes us feel better about ourselves becasue we become useful to them and needed, which also makes us want to be role models for them, too, therefore, causing us to work harder for ourselves...i call all of thoes things Win, Win situations.

Once again, Welcome!
