Hello, I have hit a rough spot, spinning my wheels lately, after doing so well for a few months now. I don't want to undo all the positive steps I have taken over the past few months, so I logged into MFP with a mission today: to find a group that is actually active (quite hard to find, actually!) I scrolled through the threads here and really love how supportive everyone is. So here I am!

I wasted most of 2012 with making excuses, but in October 2012, I decided "ENOUGH". I started working out and logging my food here. I have been moving along slowly but surely, but stumbled last week. I don't want to let it spiral out of control. I have worked too hard for that!

Glad to be here, and I hope I can give and get motivation and support :wink:

    So glad you found the group. I can honestly say I haven't seen any negativity or unsupportive people here. So far its been great. We all have ups and downs and you will find it is met with support, encouragement and lots of pats on the back when we do well. Welcome.

    Welcome. As the others said I have not seen any negativity either. This is a great group with a reasonable goal. Nothing outrageous like others I have seen. Also, a group for a year! Nothing better than keeping me on track for a whole year instead of just a one month challenge.

    I just joined a few days ago because I needed more motivation and accountability each day, and so far I love it. Feel free to add me as a friend also if you want to share diaries!
