So far, not a huge fan.

Let me tell ya why this works. When you have a goal you are REALLY excited about, you want to have someone to talk to about it. Rather than annoy my friends and family who have never had a weight problem and have no idea how hard it is to lose 50 lbs, I come here. Everyone is supportive and cheers each other on. We challenge each other to mini goals, give each other tips, and maybe throw in a little competition to push each other along. Losing a large amount of weight takes a long time if you do it right and can get sooo boring. It's nice to wake up and see what everyone is doing; who has already worked out, who is needing encouragement, who has a big event to work towards...

If you arent having fun yet, add more people! It's more addicting than facebook

I totally agree. I was all happy when I announced to the family that I had lost 4 lbs and all I received back was "Oh, that's nice." Are you kidding me?!! NO!! It's Awesome!! not nice. My MFP family congratulated me and gave me cyberfives!

I felt like you when I first started b/c I have been on every site they make even the paid ones and never lost 1 pound but since I started MFP the support is Awesome and now I am 80 lbs down so give it a try! You can add me as a friend!

Explore the actual website more, it will become an obsession. A healthy one though. =]

100% agreed!

There are no factors supporting me.

I mean this thought in the most supportive way ... but if you are not supporting you, then you are in trouble because ain't nothin' gonna work until you get to that point! You can choose to be your own champion or your own enemy.

Once you believe you can ...then you really will be able to. And, if you make that choice, there are plenty of people here who can help you on that journey.

You sound like a Debbie downer trying to invite people to her pitty party. Self motivate or be prepared to fail. No one will motivate you as much as you can motivate yourself. Find a reason or purpose to reach your goals, nobody is gonna spoon feed you or force you to get it done.


enough said!

Ok, I'm going to ask that anyone else that feels compelled to call me names because I was skeptical about this tool to please remember that you are being rude to a total stranger. It makes you sound like a tool... or a troll. Also, grow up. Also, don't post. Thanks!

Anymore of these and I'm leaving the message boards. Several of you were nice enough to friend me, so I think I can just stick to my page now. Thanks again to everyone who has had words of support and encouragement and to everyone who has friended me.
