    Stay away from the message boards. Use them like a pond, to search for the good fish. Some of the fish lurking around get a kick out of arguing, scrutinizing, "teaching", and some are just downright hurtful. I clean up my friends list often, and over the past 3 years, I've built a group of people that I can depend on to support me. And I try to do the same for them! Good luck!

    Welcome, and yes MFP is AWESOME!! You will be amazed at how supportive people are and truly want to help you achieve your goals! The best advice I can give you is do what works for you. Find something that makes you feel better, that fits into your schedule or you can mold your schedule around, and do something you enjoy. As far as diet, don't go extreme. This is a lifestyle change, not an overnight fix. There are things out there that can get you started and really give you that boost where you drop the weight quickly, but eventually it will level off and you get stuck. I know this from personal experience : (

    I am learning that it is easier to open up to people on here than it is in my other life. Everyone here is in the same boat! We fall down and get back up. Here the people just want to support you and to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones! You are alone only if you choose to be alone!
