Hey all.....

Just this site alone is pretty fun to me, I have a lot of time on my hands right now. LOL. I've been doing this for about a week and lost a pound and a half. I am home from military training, had an injury and couldn't run for 4 months, gained some weight, and now just sitting around waiting to switch to Active Duty to get stationed with my fabulous husband. So, I figure....I need to get back in shape and change my eating habits. But having no one to talk to on here got boring fast!

    Welcome! This site and support on here is great! Good luck to you and feel free to add me! :)
  • I joined a couple weeks ago and have found a lot of motivation and support! I have been dealing with an injury for 11 months and have gained about 50 lbs. I am not active duty but my hubby is so I understand the stress of being apart. Please add me if you would like and I will be glad to talk! Welcome and good luck!

    Welcome! I've been using MFP since last March when I became unemployed and had a lot of time on my hands. Now I'm back to working and addicted to logging my foods and exercise, but I only recently discovered the message boards and now I'm more addicted then ever! Love it!

    a pound and a half a week is great! Wonderful job!
  • I've found the site really useful and the support is great. My weight has gradually reduced - slowly but steadily.
