Hey guys! My name is Steph and I am new to MFP (just joined yesterday) and already I am feeling confident about my decision to start a healthier lifestyle. I am 22 yrs old and have always been unhappy with my weight but it wasn't until this summer that I started to get serious and really try to make healthier decisions. I joined Weight Watchers which I really loved because the meetings gave me the motivation and support from others who were on the same mission. Unfortunately, being a full-time student took it's toll and I had to cancel my membership due to lack of funds and time.

I am so glad I found MFP and the forums are truly inspirational. I'm looking for some new friends on this site because all of you are just a huge motivation for me and I can really use the support. Thanks!

    Welcome! I hope you find what you are looking for here. There are some very wonderful and supportive people here but there are some turds too. Like anywhere I guess. Anyway, take advantage of the tools you already have and the new tools and support that you can find and stick with it. The nice thing is, when I have fallen, my friends on here have welcomed me back with open arms, understanding, and encouragement. Best of luck to you.
