Thank you MFP and new friends

Erica_G2012

Last week I may the mental pledge to change the way I eat and to lose some weight to get under 200 pounds. Sunday was grocery shopping day with a new meal plan in mind. Earlier this week I downloaded the MFP app to my phone (and instantly fell in love with it) and today I came on to the site and have already met some wonderful people. I've spent more than two hours now floating around, I do have to say that most everyone is warm, welcoming and supportive. I really think with a positive network a group can achieve wonders. I'm very hopeful and positive that I'll be able to make the changes that I need to and I want to thank all of you for such a warm welcome.

I have seen some posts where things sound a little critical, but the spirit behind most all the discussions is still in the right place. So, welcome to my fellow noobs and thank you to you tried and true members who are here to make the new folks feel welcome.

Cheers to you on this wonderful Friday and may the weekend snack beast not visit you too much!

Welcome!! You will find some critical things on the forums, but you can just weed through it all..."eat the fish and spit out the bones," as the saying goes. There are a lot of wonderful, supportive people on here. MFP is a great tool for successful weight loss. Congratulations on making the decision to get healthy, too!
