I'm not good at message boards...

But I'd like to make some friends here on MFP.
I've been on here a while, but I mostly lurk for advice.
I'm 22 and I just graduated from university. I'm going to Japan in 2 months, so I'm trying to lose as much weight as healthily possible before then.
I started my weight loss journey on Nutrisystem in November 2011 but I'm moving to real food right now, so some support and reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you guys!
:)

    Welcome! I started Nutrisystem around the same time as you, but transitioned to regular food by February. I credit Nutrisystem for teaching me about portions and a balanced diet, and it definitely helped jumpstart my weight loss, but I much prefer the freedom of MFP. :flowerforyou:

    :)

    I am jealous. I have been dreaming of going to Japan for a while now, but have not pulled the trigger. I have told myself that when I reach my weight loss goal, I am going on that trip no matter what.

    Good luck, feel free to add me
