Hello, My name is Chandra. I'm new here. I have only been here a week. I'm glad I've found this site. I've been coming on here everyday to log my meals and putting some exercise in here. I feel I need some accountability, support, and advice so I don't make mistakes often.

    Hi Chandra. I'm brand new here too. I'm 44 years old and trying to lose 20-25 pounds. What are you trying to lose?

    I'm Sarah and I have been here for a couple months now. I'm not trying to lose a certain number of pounds, so you won't see me posting about my weight. I use this just to keep track of what I am eating. Good luck to everyone! :happy:

    Hi Chandra! I'm new as well. I've been logging on for almost a week. I love this website! It was a very rude awakening to see how much I was actually eating....mainly out of boredom! Hopefully we can lose weight together!

    Hi. I have been here about 4 days. It's been great so far! I am a compulsive binge eater, and today I got through my usual midday binge with the help of my friends here! I don't think I could have resisted without the suport from those who know exactly how it is. Welcome aboard!

    Hello ALL, my name is Michelle and this is my second week on MFP. My neighbor got me started and I am needing to lose a total of 45 lbs!!!! Starting out small so I am not overwhelmed and trying to get off my first 10. It is sooo slow going right now. I have a lot going on right now so finding the time or energy to EXERCISE is what is really challenging.

    Hi,
    Love your profile name! I am not really new but I haven't been here for ages. I am less than 20 pounds from my goal and stalled so I figured I better get back in the habit of tracking. Feel free to add me!
