    Welcome and congratulations on coming here and deciding to make some positive changes in your life. MFP makes weight loss simple. One thing I would recommend to new comers is asking others to be your friend. That way they can see your status updates and offer encouragement. I will be your friend if you'd like to send me an add.

    Welcome to MFP. I have only been on here a few weeks, well I guess almost a full month now. And I can say that thanks to MFP, this is not a diet, but a lifestyle change. I look at what I am doing in a whole different manner. If you screw up one day, then just move on and remember that tomorrow is a new day. Add lots of friends on here. They offer encouragement, support and accountability. Post a picture of yourself, and make your diary public so you can have good feedback on what you can improve on. Feel free to add me, I will support you!

    MFP is the best site! Believe me, I've tried many, many diets but this site makes it so easy to meet fellow dieters and have your fitness questions answered in the privacy of your home. It is an international site, so you can check in any time. Day or night! There are usually people posting questions and offering support and guidance, no matter when you check in. Best part -- it's all free! Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like. Good luck on your journey! Barbara
