    Welcome aboard the MFP train. What a ride it is and can be. It's an awesome sight. As others have said a big part of making it successful are friends that are encouraging, logging and water. Feel free to add me.

    Hi Yvonne, welcome to MFP. You can lose weight if you commit to it and track everything you do, make this a new lifestyle and don't beat yourself up when you slip a little. Just jump back on the horse and keep riding! We're all doing this together and we will succeed.

    Good luck!

    Welcome! I just joined this morning, so I know how you feel...but guess what? I'm through my first day and I didn't go over on the calories! I even got all the water in. If I can do it, you can do it.

    You can friend me if you want...in fact anyone who wants to can.

    Hello there..
    I'm mortified that I went away so quickly.... I am a walking disaster but now I have had enough, I am very down about my weight and its my own fault.. I need to make a change, as I am not a nice person at the moment.
    So here I am, ready to start loosing, thanks. x

    Welcome!

    I am new here too & the people are great. I just started a week ago with a simple stationary bike. I was down in the dumps too but once I commited to a schedule of 30-60 min. a day it is amazing what 1 little week has done. I have a ton more energy, my spirits are up & I look forward to coming home from work & getting on the bike. Get started anyway you can & don't give up!

    I'm new today too, saw a Facebook friend post about MFP and decided it was worth a try. Comfort food is my problem, hopefully adding everything I eat each day on here will make me focus a bit more, Good luck with the weigh loss!! :happy:
