New to all of this and I really want some support buddies!

My name is Raven and I am 19 years old. I currently weigh 218 lbs. I made a my fitness pal account a long time ago but never really used it much. I don't really have much support from anyone. But I figure I can get the best support from all of you bashful ladies going through the same journey as me. I'd love to make new friends here and have people who can support me and who I can support back. So befriend me and help me make this long lasting change!

    Hi Raven,
    Support doesn't only have to come from bashful ladies. :-)
    You are doing great taking that step and coming back to MyFitnessPal.
    Reaching out for support is a fantastic step also.
    Good deal on taking those steps. I'm sure you will be reaching your goals and getting the support you need. There are a lot of people on there just wanting to be there to support you. Keep true to yourself, and know that every piece of Red Vine licorice is 35 calories you'll have to work off. Every Dorito and chip, every piece of candy, every piece of fat not trimmed from the meat has to find it's way back out of your body, so keep that in mind before you let it pass your lips and you'll be that much closer to your goals.

    Good luck.
  • I there! I am new here, too. Still learning how to use the site :) I am ready for a change! But still need a kick start!! So a few buddies would be great! :)
  • I'm the same, feel free to add me :)

    Hi and welcome!

    Lots of great support here.

    Feel free to add me.
  • Feel free to add me and ask questions if you have any. For me the trick was to enter everything (no sneaking out little extras :wink: ) and add exercise (walking with my fitbit pedometer was my only exercise) to help either gain some snacks or lose weight faster. MFP and Fitbit with near religious adherence to writing down everything is what got me where I am at. No special combinations of no carbs, no sugar, no dessert, etc. Good luck dear! :bigsmile:

    Hi, I presently weigh 212. I'm a gastric bypass surgery roux-en-y patient and got sick and gained. I was doing so good for the longest time weighing at about 153-163. I saw my dietician and she told me about this site. Since I'm new too, lets do this together. Anybody in my shoes? I could use all the help that I can too.
