Hi everyone,
When I first joined MFP I had no real idea what benefits it had in weight loss. I only joined to gain some support for the Fast Metabolism diet plan. After a couple of weeks I met with a dietitian/nutritionist and she suggested using this site as a tool for weight loss so now I use it daily.
Now, I have figured out how to use this site (for the most part) but I can see that having a personal support community (and not just message boards) would be a great help to stay motivated and accountable.
So, if anyone else wants to become friends and support each other on our weight loss journeys, please add me and lets start motivating each other!!
I want to mention that my actual goal is to lose at least 50 lbs but I track 10 lbs at a time to stay motivated (baby steps... a tip from my dietitian).

Hi everyone, I'm losing weight using this app as well. I'm a wellness coordinator with Juice Plus and decided to add fitness certification to this. I'm studying to become a personal trainer as well. I have 34 pounds to lose by next February 2014, this is when I graduate. I want to help others lose weight like I did so I'm doing some hard work here and also need support.
I'm a great encourager so if you need help staying positive, well, we can help each other!!! Looking forward to losing together....having insulin resistance and hypothyroidism works against me so I'm determined to fight back with good clean food and exercise and watching my caloric intake. Talk soon and have a blessed day.0 -
