in Introduce Yourself
I have been trying to get friends and family to join this site with me so I can have some support and no one is really interested. Or they sign up and never post works-outs or food logs. I would love to have some friends on here who actively log in so I can be motivated by their commitment. I have tried MFP before, but find that I am not successful when I am only accountable to myself, if I know others are involved I tend to do a better job at making it a priority. Thanks to everyone who is wiling to share healthy life journey with me.

    Very early on, when I was first losing weight, I discovered that having public support was one of the most essential parts to my success. I posted and blogged on facebook weekly posted progress pics on a monthly basis. At first it was a little frightening (pictures of me online in my undies was slightly uncomfortable) but ultimately, it made the challenge that much more real and the motivation I received from my friends was even more powerful and useful. (Many of my friends told me that they didn't even realize I was as overweight as I was, because I was very good at covering up and hiding my weight)

    So support is absolutely fundamental - please feel free to add me! I love supporting people in a healthier lifestyle :)

    I went through the same thing. This is my second go with MFP and it is so much better with friends to motivate you. Feel free to add me for support.

    Hi I've recently come back to MFP to try again. I registered before but didn't actually achieve anything with it at all. This time I'm determined to use the app on my phone and keep up with the site too.
    I would really appreciate some support and am happy to give it too!
