I need you all

the subject sounds strange, now that I'm re-reading it... oh well!

I am by no means new to MFP. I have been on here for well over a year, however I have been MIA nearly that entire year. :noway:

Tonight I realized that I have been doing myself a HUGE disservice by staying off of the message boards. I think I was just too timid to REALLY reach out to anyone, but it suddenly hit me that we are all in the same boat and we all need each other's support.

now, off to become part of the community ! ^_^

    I am right there with you!! after about a year on here it took me until a few weeks ago to get involved in the boards and adding friends. There is a lot of great support, fantastic ideas, and good motivation on here. Feel free to add me if you are looking for friends to cheer each other on and motivate to keep it up :)

    Just be aware of the shallow waters and the self righteous sharks in the forums

  • Welcome back! I am a shy, very private person and fairly new to MFP, but I have really enjoyed reading the posts and getting inspiration from others...many times, the posts have given me the nudge I need to make healthier choices that day. I really love this site and hope you will, too! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:
