in Success Stories
This is the NSV I'd like to share: getting involved in the MFP community with my first post on a message board.

I've been on this journey to better health since February 2012, using MFP since May 2013 (why didn't I start sooner?!). Browsing these boards almost daily, I've found great inspiration reading about everyone's successes and struggles. I admire everyone's candidness and the way you all support each other. In a world that so often tries to tear you down, this safe haven where people build you up is such a wonderful thing.

I figured it's time to stop lurking and start participating. :) So Hi! My name is Amy, and I look forward to seeing you on the boards!

    Hi! I am pretty new to this too. I really wish I would have found it a long time ago....the inspiration alone is amazing. I always felt like I did not eat a lot until I started logging it and realized just how many calories I was putting in my mouth scary! Welcome and good luck on your journey.

    Welcome from yes, another lurker. Although I rarely comment or post, MFP'ers have given me more inspiration and support than they will ever know. By just allowing me to read their posts and be given the opportunity to follow them on their journey's I feel connected to people that not only share my struggles but feel my successes. Thank you MFP'ers

    Hi Amy! You're doing great so far! I don't know how you stayed away from the message boards for so long, I got sucked in right away! I stay away from the negative and "singles" stuff and stick with the motivational threads.

    I log everything I eat and try to exercise 30 mins every day. I have an open diary & I'm here for the long haul. Feel free to add me!
