Hi, my name is Sophia and I just joined this website and app. I am overweight and want to get fit and be healthy. My parents are both overweight and couch potatoes and I don't want to end up like them. I hope I can find friends to help me.

    Welcome to MFP!

    As long as you keep an open, honest diary of your food and exercise -- this site will change your life! It's not a diet, it's not starving yourself or denying yourself the foods you like - it's about learning how to eat and exercise properly to sustain weight loss and energy.

    Gather a nice group of support friends to help keep you motivated and remember: we all stumble along the road - just pick yourself up and keep on moving forward!

    You can do this!

    Anyone can add me, I love supporting others and can always use more strong support friends.
