Hello

I joined MFP yesterday after a recommendation on my blog to join the site that helps track food intake. It has been eye opening. I am fairly new at it and not sure how this work. It would be good to be able to talk to people who are also in the process of losing weight or want to maintain it.

I am way too ashamed to tell people I know from work or friends because of the fear of failing again and being judged. I realise it will be a tough road ahead.

    Welcome to the Thunder Dome aka MPF :) Good luck on your journey!! :drinker:
  • I too am new on here. I'm tired of being overweight and nothing fitting me. I refuse to buy the next size, i shopped around the holidays and bought clothes with room to grow. Guess what, I've grown into them sigh. Let's do this together!!

    Thanks everyone. I have not yet figured out how to add people. I thought if I clicked on your name I should be able to but that hasn't work. I will add you once I have figured this out.

    Welcome! I recently joined too and am loving it. Lots of support here. Feel free to add me as well! Just click on someone's profile image and there should be a green button on their profile that says "add as a friend"
