Howdy from a newbie (to this methodology, not MFP)

Hi folks. After getting mauled in the open forums for having the audacity to post about eating more calories to lose weight after previously starving myself on diets ranging from 500-1200 calories a day, several people pointed me in the direction of this group. I just wanted to reach out and say hello, and that I'm glad you are here. Being intimidated and insulted isn't my idea of a productive, helpful manner of support, so it's nice to be around other like-minded individuals. Now, off to your group board to read up and get inspired!

I look forward to getting to know you :smile:

    Good find.

    Did you actually get married while pedalling?

    We got married at the starting line of the MS150, a 100-mile charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis that we do every year. Sweet, huh? :)

    Welcome to the group! I rarely visit the open forums since I found this group. Everyone here is supportive and I have never seen any mauling!
