Hello

I never know what to say to introduce myself. My name is Heather. I'm 31. I'm significantly overweight & want to change my life. So here I am! I've started a blog that I am going to publicize to my friends and family so I can hold myself accountable and (hopefully) receive encouragement and support. I saw a mfp tracker on my cousin's blog and came to check it out. So here I am!

I love online communities. They are just as valuable to me as my real life friendships & family. So I'm also looking for some genuine people to become friends with here.

Thanks!

    Welcome! I myself just started this week, and love the extra support a site like this can give up. My name is Kelly and I'm 29. I began my diet last Saturday and started working out on Monday and have already seen some encouraging results. I love your idea about the blog, and hope that you can post a link. Best of luck.
  • Thanks Kelly!

    I've posted the url on my profile. It's not quite "ready" yet. My cousin is designing a header and background for me.

    Congrats on the encouraging results. Should we be MFP friends?

    welcome aboard and gooood luck in your weight loss journey ... KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO IT ... take baby steps, one day at a time, set mini goals and when you reach your mini goals reward yourself but not with food .... and drink plenty of water ........again good luck
  • Thanks everyone!

    ittybittybadonka... (can't read your whole name): that is a clever and funny quote you have at the bottom there. I might steal it as the tag line for my blog. is that OK?
