Hi, when I first joined MFP back in Jan 2012, I did it mainly because a really good friend of my shared the link. I wanted to support her on her weight loss journey and I also needed to get motivated to lose the weight. I also told myself I wouldn't sign up or be on any of the message boards here mainly because I am extremely guarded about my personal infomation. BUT having a MAJOR health scare last week, was the WAKE UP Call I needed to FINALLY STOP going up and down with my weight and stick to it. I am using the food journal faithly (even when I slip and eat something bad-I write it down) I have a very stressful job that requires a lot of my time during January -April and then again late Aug to October 15th. I am very lucky that I have a great support system of my family and dear friends. But I have realized that we all need extra support even if it is from strangers at first. So I would like to have some more friends.

    I'm a great cheerleader for anyone who wants to motivate me in return. With that said, While the positive comments and support on here help a ton, they won't work out and eat right for you. You hold the ultimate key to motivation within yourself.

    I'm glad u decided to join the community board. I'm also new to this board although I have been using this app for about a couple of months now. Got to say it has worked for me. I have losted 8 pounds so far but I recently lost my previous track by a computer error so I had to start over.. I still have my ups and.downs but like u I'm faithful all the way. I'm a a 33 year single mom. And I'm trying to stay in shape but I to wouldn't mind the suport. U can glady add me in
