New to MFP, but not new to obesity

Loving the message boards, success stories, pics, and posts from folks just like me. It's good to know I'm not the only "person of size" out there... because sometimes it feels like I'm the only fattie in a world of skinny-minis! :smile:

I recently blogged about starting to eat better. If you're interested, you can read it at:

I'm looking forward to being able to post some interim success stories of my own. Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy the success of the rest of you!

    you can add me if you would like.

    Thanks for the nice welcome. Sorry to be an annoying newbie, but what does adding someone as a friend do, exactly? :blushing:

    We can offer support and encouragement... congratulations on your successes. If your food and exercise diary is set to friends only, we can see it, we can comment on your posts and post on your wall, etc. And the reverse, you can see/comment on ours as well.

    (forehead smack) Oh! I just saw that I have a wall! That makes so much more sense now...

    lots of love from the newbie...
