in Introduce Yourself
Ok.. here goes nothing (well... something.. namely those unsightly pounds I hope). Just joined today - had lost 25 pounds on WW in 2011 but a few crept back on - was finding that I was getting stuck with the new WW Plus. Had a fleeting (and I mean fleeettingg) experience with the Dr. Bernstein diet (yikes)... and remembered that I had heard about MFP from others and they had success.
I'm currently trying to lose about 58 or so pounds... was recently in a play and got the photos back and ... what a motivator they are. I don't want to look like this any more. I don't want to feel crappy any more. I want to feel health and happy for me again.
Good luck to you all on your lifestyle changes...

Diving in!
N.

    Hello to my fellow Canucks!

    I have only been logging in earnest for 2 weeks, but I have seen progress in my attitude and numbers! I'm taking my journey slow and steady.

    I have found that having a team of cheerleaders has helped me immensely. I also get a lot of satisfaction from encouraging my fellow MFP buddies!

    Please feel free to add me, but if you do so, I would appreciate a message!

    Good luck!

    Hello fellow Canadians;

    an Albertan here, I have been faithfully logging in for just over a week, which for me is a bonus because I usualy quit logging into whatever method I am using after the first 2 days or so. Feel free to add me if any one likes. Good luck all.

    Greetings from Saskatchewan (hard to spell, easy to draw - never get tired of that joke). I've been on MFP for over a year now having dropped 63 lbs (28.6 kg) and have been maintqaining since 18 Oct 12. You have done the most important thing in joining MFP. Now just stick with the program, log your food & exercise and it WILL work. Take care.

    HI! Vancouver, BC checking in! Feel free to friend me (any of you) I try to log every day and I try to get some sort of physical activity in every day. I'm not sure exactly what my goal weight is, but last year at this time I was 20lbs closer. So on March 1 I decided to forget the past and start fresh.
    Best of luck to you all!

    I completely agree about MFP!!! The best part is that it is free and we are not alone!! Feel free to add me and when you are up to it join some of the challenges on the community page!! They are a great motivation.

    Welcome fellow Canadian. Good luck.
    I'm not sure how this friend thing works and I've never posted anything before but I think it's time for me as I'm in a bit of a slump right now. Cindy

    What a lot of motivated people out there... thanks so much for all this support.. and it's cool to be able to say I've lived in BC (born in Vancouver, lived in Coquitlam), Alberta (went to HS in Edmonton), Quebec (Jr HS in Hudson), spent every summer from 0-18 in Nova Scotia with my other side of the family and now.. here in Ontario since 1979.

    I feel success coming on ! And a very different feeling from the other "plans" and "potions"... your stories and successes are truly inspirational!

    Thanks! :flowerforyou:
