A friend of mine recommended this site to help kick-start my motivation to get back in shape and I already love it! I'm looking forward to meeting new people to share this journey with. If there's anyone in or near West Orange, NJ looking for a workout buddy or walking/jogging partner, please feel free to "friend" me.

    Hi! This is my 2nd day and I'm loving this site! I'm definitely motivated. I love how this is helping me keep up with my calories. My sister invited me here and I'm so glad she did.

    Hello everyone. Today is not my first day on this site but it is the first time I've visited the forums. I am about 110 lbs over weight and could use all of the help and encouragement I can get. I've invited several friends and family to come and join me, however I do hope to make some new friends while on this journey!

    Hello,today is my 2nd day on this site. My friends at work are all using this site and really doing well on it. They encouraged me to try it. I had recently been on the diet medication of Phentermine and lost 58 pounds but gained 2o of it back. I am no longer taking the meds and want to get in shape and healthy the right way. I am impressed and excited about this. I am what people call an emotional eater and really need prayer and encouragement. So wish me luck!

    Welcome to a great website. I have been on line for a while now. You will find wonderful friends & supporters. It's great to have a cheer squad pushing you thru those difficult times. Check out the groups, so many to choose from for motivation, Look by state also may find someone in your own area. I have loss 45 pounds some using other sites & some here. I have had a few struggles "getting stuck" weight just not coming off. So have reset myself for new challenges & new mindset. Works for me, Aug 1 thru Labor day lost 10 pounds with support, help,& recipes I have gotten from MFP in addition to my exercise. You get out of it what you want to put into it. Good luck to all. Friend me if you like.
