Hi there. I just signed up today at MFP. Don't have it on my iPhone yet though. I am going to be on this journey all by myself so hopefully I'll make some friends here who can help me stay on track. I have tried to diet but my old friend, Binge, comes around most nights to hang out. Be Gone Binge! I used to be a competitive swimmer when I was young and still swim from time to time. I'd love to be able to feel good enough about myself that I can get back to a Masters program. Also, I would LOVE to be able to wear a pair of jeans and a cute top instead of jeans and a baggy top. Know what I mean? I also intend to do this and be a good example of health and fitness to my daughter. Wish me luck!
I've read quite a few posts on here and congrats to all of you brave strong people who have done so well on your healthy living journeys!!
Gotta figure out how to make a signature now.....

    Welcome and GL =)
  • Wow & thanks!
    Some questions for you: Do you guys have the app on your phone? Do you have a favorite support forum you like to chat in?
    It's been only 4 hours but I haven't cheated! Seriously, at the beginning I almost feel like I have to take this one hour at a time.
    Wonder if my signature will show up...

    I have the Android app. It's decent but not very friendly for small screens and those with big fingers. I won't mention any names... (whistling innocently)

    I don't have a "favorite" per se but I occasionally look at the titles of the 5 most recent posts that are updated frequently on my home page and if the subject grabs me I'll read it. This happened to be one of them, but then I'm also a sucker for "I'm new please add me!" posts. LOL

    Great move first off and yes, I do know what you mean about the jeans and a cute shirt thing. ;) Best of luck to you. Feel free to add me, I too want to be a good role model from my daughter.
