I'm so excited to get started with this site/program. I've viewed a few of the messages on here from others and love the enthusiasm and weight loss progress by others. I worked a similar program like this before and it worked well, (but there was no peer support) and I got bored before I reached my goal. I slowly gained it all back. Everyone seems very friendly & supportive. Thanks in advance for your encouragement.

    Welcome to MFP :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
    This is a great site. Take the time to learn about all the great features and use them.
    You will succeed if you work hard. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:


    Take it one day at a time
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Take baby steps
    Drink lots of water :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Think of this as a new way of life, not just a temporary diet.

    It always helps me to log my food first before I eat so there are no surprises.

    Find a group to be part of and check in with them every day.
