in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm Natalie. I've been on here less than a week and have been doing good so far, but I'm looking for people to talk to and share encouragement. Not sure how all this works, but I'll hopefully figure out the website soon. I've been using the iPhone app mostly. So yeah, if anyone wants to chat or add me as a friend, feel free! :)

    Welcome! Yes, it helps to have a good support system. The encouragement from other posters is priceless when you get discouraged or have setbacks. Good luck!

    Welcome to all the newcomers. I joined MFP almost a year ago to help support a friend. She's lost 65 lbs since joining !
    Not too long after joining I had a bout of kidney stones, so I use MFP to monitor my sodium intake and try to eat a bit more healthy.
    I think you'll find plenty of friendly suportive people on here. There's lots of motivating stories to keep you inspired as you work towards your fitness/weight loss goals. Good luck to all and feel free to add me if you'd like.

    Hello everyone, I'm Sharon.

    I joined a couple of weeks ago and I am in need of a few friends on this journey, as well.
    I thought I was doing pretty good with my food but realized that I've gotten way off track. In the last year or so, I've dropped from around 187 to 165. I think I got too happy with my little success and I started back with the pizza here and there.

    I've signed up for a 5K, August 25. This is my first time running and... well, I am liking it but getting a bit impatient with myself. I have a program that I follow and I use runkeeper, which is great... I just want to do more than my body can do right now. I used to be athletic in my younger days, I'm 48 now, and thus, I think I can still do things that I did way back then.

    So thank you guys, in advance. My plan is to walk at least 2 miles every single day and to do my 5K training twice a week, as well as strength training 3 times a week.

    I simply get lazy sometimes.

    Thanks again.

    Greetings!

    While I'm not exactly new to MFP, I've been gone for a while. Ok, for more than a little while. I am currently at the heaviest I've ever been in my life, and so I re-downloaded MFP to my android because I'd lost my password. So I'm begining again, and I refuse to let a slip-up in my diet cause me to fail completely in my weight loss goal. And furthermore, I'm not putting a time restraint on myself this time. I need some friends to help me out, and encourage me. I get totally lazy, I get discouraged, just like everyone else. The difference is, that this time, I'm looking at this in a whole new way. I am NOT on a diet; I'm on a lifestyle change. :)
