When I started MFP in April I said, I'm not going to make friends with these people. I already had plenty of friends on FB and had no need for another social network,... WRONG ! My MFP friends are the best! and FB is soooo last week.

I said...I'm just going to log my calories on here and not going to worry about increasing my exercise.... WRONG ! I've more than doubled my exercise, thanks to my MFP pals who were doing circles around me every day.

Said I wasn't going to get all absorbed in stuff like BMR, TDEE, and such. Seriously, I thought those people were a little kooky to be so concerned with that. LIAR ! I now know my BMR, BF, TDEE as if they were my middle name.

Said I wasn't going to get any of those silly gadgets that everybody raves about. I mean really... a FitBit??! Even the name sounds silly. I already had a pedometer that worked just fine. LIAR, LIAR, pants on fire!! My FitBit is my new best friend. It even likes me. Seriously, it told me that. And my HRM is being delivered Thurs. !!! I can't wait.

I also said I wasn't going to give up my beer and wine. So far that is one promise I have kept. =)

I Heart MFP !!

    Love this post. I was just thinking this morning how MFP has become my new Facebook. I check MFP on my phone for my friend's updates more often than I check Facebook. It also means I want to add more friends.

    I can't even remember how I found out about this site, but I am so glad that I listened when someone told me to become involved in a weight loss community. Best thing I did was adding friends on here.

    I <3 MFP!

    Don't say that too much. If this turns into a "social networking site", my job will block it. So stick to hot words like weightloss, and starvations and exercise and so forth. Thanks.

    PS- Glad you're fitting in :)

    This site is really helpful, even with the name being a little bit goofy. Everyone on here is great! :)

    I put my name in on my FitBit as "Gorgeous".

    It says things like, "Lookin' Good, Gorgeous!"

    "Faster, Gorgeous"

    It's like foreplay in my pocket! LMAO!

    I feel the same way as you do about EVERYTHING you said!
