I am new to MFP and nervous about putting myself "out there".,but it's a good nervous. This is an AWESOME site!! I can't believe how easy it is to navigate. I joined another popular site (S---- P
) and was totally confused . Everything "clicked" when i first visited this site...I WANTED to belong, and to be a part of the success that i have seen on so many members blogs!!

hey, welcome. I know how you feel about being nervous I'm the same; although i've been on the site for about 5 months this si the first time i've blogged. But it's a brilliant site. Good luck0 -
No need to be nervous. 99% of the people here are here to help and the other 1% want to make money by helping. In either case, you will do well if you follow the plan, exercise and keep your calories under your goal. Also, set it for no more than a pound a week until you adjust to the lower intake. Many people hurt themselves by setting the initial loss rate too high and get discouraged when it is hard to meet the daily goals. You can always change them later.0

Welcome! I just joined this week myself, and I LOVE IT! Love the fact that I don't really have to do anything as far as keeping track of what I eat and calories I burn. Good luck on your weight loss!!0

I am starting all over myself once again, I think it was going to the doctors yesturday to see that I have gained 11 lbs in 6 months I am just sickened to know that I really havent kept to my diet and hoping that I can get the support here as well as at home. My husband and I both also are diabetics and I have to lose this weigh for myself to help with my diabetes so I am around to see my grandbabies. I need someone to always make sure that I am accountable for my actions and to push me when I need it.0

There is absolutely no reason to be nervous...we have no shame on here...there are things told on this site that facebook will never see...we're all in the same boat, and we all need encouragement to reach our goals...where else can you talk about your panties falling off because they're to big now? Or ask questions about your thighs rubbing together and what to do about it when you walk...some people just don't understand the difference in sports bras for well endowed women...and a lot of the times, people don't get the humor lol we're here for a lifestyle change, and to be beautiful inside and out...welcome to the site that will help you accomplish your goals0

Usually I'm not one to blog..reply, whatever, lol. but I have to agree wtih the many posts that have aready been written. I am enjoying this site! i find myself wanting to keep up with my diary..all the time! I tried doing the same thing on my own in a book, but it just never worked out. Whatever the case, i like the site, its easy to use and there seems to be astrong sense of community here, which is definately helpful. I am really looking forward to tracking my progress and seeing the benefits of my pains...and changes! good luck to all those who are out there and trying to get healthy and lose weight. I wish for you the same fun and success that I hope for myself.
Good luck!0 -
