in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone. I have finally succumbed to joining this site. I have several family members and acquaintances who have sung the praises of MFP (however, they will never EVER get me to join FB....EVER! ^_^).

I've tried that 50million site, but I didn't like it. I like MFP better. I think it's because there are so many active members who seem genuinely concerned and supportive of other members no matter what they are going through or how many times they have to start over before they hit their stride. It's going to be a struggle to change my habits, and I need that kind of support system.

I look forward to losing some weight with you all.

Off to finally edit my profile. ^_^

    Welcome! I'm sure you'll really enjoy MFP--it's a great tool for diet/exercise tracking, and the forums are great... lots of interesting information and good support! (No FB... are you *suuuuure*??? :wink:)

    Glad you decided to give mfp a try. I have been a member less than two weeks and I am truly enjoying it. I have lost five pound and I will weigh in Friday. The people on this site are great cheerleaders and always have great comments. I would love to have you as a friend, feel free to add me if you like.

    I'm new to the site too...and the thing I noticed right off the bat was how supportive a place it is. Everyone really wants everyone else to succeed and we celebrate and praise each other's successes. Good luck with your journey :-)

    Welcome! You are going to love whst this site has to offer.

    I turned a friend onto it and she lost 25 pounds since June and she doesnt post or even log her weight. She just quietly uses the journal and calorie counter.

    So you can be as involved as you want or not, it's all goood!

    I too am new to this site and so far am loving it. It has helped me to be accountable to myself for my eating and exercising habits. With it there on the screen, there is no denying to myself what I did or didn't do! It has really helped so far. I saw a friend's post on another site and her incredible weight loss so I had to follow her over here! Anyway, all this to say, I enjoy it here and now you will too. Good luck on your goals.
