Newbie, and looking for a support group! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Jess, and I'm pretty new to myfitnesspal. I've been doing it for about a week, and I'm really excited about the changes I've been making to my lifestyle! I'm just a little nervous about dieting alone since none of my family is doing it, and my father is a FANTASTIC cook, so it's hard to resist his delicious, fatty, Italian cooking. So I'm looking for a big support group to keep me motivated! I don't mean to sound desperate but uh... be friends with me! It would really help me to reach my goals!
I look forward to this experience, and following and reading all of your stories!

I feel the same way, no one in my house hold is dieting or exercising and now that it's summer, all my friends want to do is go out and drink! I'm still trying to stay focused on what is really important to me, but then when none of my friends are on the same page, it's hard and get lonely. :sad: I would love to be your friend and I was looking for a support group as well but they all seem to be closed!

I'm new as well! Everyone around me eats whatever and it's a bit annoying when I am trying to lose weight. Lets do it together!

I'm in the same boat, I have very little "real life" support. My mom and sister are very overweight, and my boyfriend actually needs to GAIN weight! I've been on MFP for a few weeks and the online support is so helpful - adding you now so we can keep each other accountable!
