Today is my 2nd day on MFP and I am already very impressed with the site. I am generally a very shy person, but felt that joining this site would give me the accountability and support I need. It's easier to give and receive support when you can relate to the person. I have struggled with weight all of my life and I am tired of making excuses. I am absolutely determined to lose weight and get healthy, but I am afraid of failing as I have done so many times in the past. I need a few good friends who are willing to tell me the truth, no matter how painful and give me the encouragement I need on bad days.

    You can add me as a friend if you wish...the best accountability is letting us see each other's food diary's this helps each of us and also provides ideas for meals...

    It sounds like we have some things in common! In the past few months, I've mostly used MFP to track my food and exercise, but I was just thinking that I haven't done a good job utlizing the built-in support and encouragement the site offers through so many amazing, committed members. Definitely feel free to add me!
