So...January on MFP...that's some shizz amiright?

Listen, I can't list everyone because I am still quite new and learning names, but hopefully you'll know who you are as you read this.

I lurked, and searched, and heard what you had to say.

Within weeks I was armed with enough information to do this the right way because I deserve to. I know my TDEE-20%, my BMR, my BF%, at least a good start point for my macros and I know exactly what I want my body to be capable of, and why. When I have reached my goal I will be tremendous but because of what you have taught me I feel wonderful RIGHT NOW. I'm enjoying this, every day. I feel satisfied, powerful, peaceful...happy.

I am not trying to ingratiate myself. I just want to say with all sincerity, I heard you, and THANK YOU. You've saved me I don't even know how many months of suffering, self-doubt, and failure. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And now, to counter any possible overstep in intensity, I give you hockeyduckface, because hockeyduckface.

    Best thread ever.

    You're going to be so successful with this attitude and knowledge! :smile:

    The only bit of advice I'd add is that it's really consistency and patience that get you there. Take it day by day and meal by meal if you need to. Eventually, you'll be shocked at how far you've come :)

    OK, this post is confusing. I thought forum posts were supposed to be mean, rude and obnoxious??? What's with the upbeat, positive attitude??? ;-)
