in Introduce Yourself
Hi. My name is Debbie and I have been using MFP religiously for about 2 months. I think it is a fantastic tool. I love reading blogs and posts and I envy when I see "friends" support each other.

I have lost 15 pounds and have about 85 to go. I'm beginning to need someone to talk to, someone to share with. How does one go about making MFP friends?

Thanks - this means so much to me!

    Hi Debbie,

    I have only been using MFP for about 3 weeks now and think it's a big help also. If you need a pal to talk to you can add me as your friend. Just read people's post and ask to be their friend, everyone is very friendly and helpful. I have been working out and eating smart for about 3 months now and it has been slow going for me as far as weight loss. I have only dropped 8 lbs so far and would like to lose at least 20-30 more. Last time I motivated my self to drop pounds it took me a long time too, must be something about my body and metabolism??

    15 pounds is great, you should be proud! Have a great day Roberta

    I have a few friends on here that I know either IRL or from other weight loss forums and we all migrated here. The rest are just people I've "met" while posting in forums and we clicked.

    Feel free to send me a FR. I rarely turn anyone down.

    I have been on here about a month. I am a 43 year old mother of a 15 year old and 13 year old. I wanted to start my weight loss journey because I am tired on being the "fat" one in all the vacation pictures. Since no one else in my house struggles with weight, they don't really get it! So on here everyone is pretty going through the same struggles that I am and I think I have finally found a place where I will have good results.

    Also look for groups geared towards your age group. I joind the fabulous 40 ladies group and that one is fun too.

    Please feel free to add me and if anyone else needs friends. I try to be really good about supporting and motivating others.

    Welcome to My Fitness Pal, your life will begin to change.
