New to MFP!

Hi everyone! I joined a few weeks ago and was using this site to record my daily food diary; little did I know that there was a whole community attached to it! I'm excited to have the opportunity to have support while I try to lose weight and it's been inspiring reading everyone's success stories and progress.

I'm Kate, I'm 22 and I just graduated from college on Saturday! I'm starting graduate school in the fall and I'm trying to get healthy and start caring about my appearance in honor of this new start. I've tried to lose weight so many times to no avail, but I feel like I have a fighting chance with all of the features on this site. I'm going to try my hardest to use it regularly! I've had food journals, tried diaries, worked out regularly, probably ongoing since I was about 12. Hopefully having all of those things in one place will encourage me to use them and stick with them.

I'm looking for friends and blogs to read so if you're interested, add me!

    Welcome!! Congrats on your degree!! I will receive mine in July. Unlike you, I dropped out on my first try and went to work for a few years before going back to finish it. Better late than never, though! Glad to see you here, it's an amazing community.
