in Introduce Yourself
I have been using the site for one month, but have been avoiding the Message Boards. Generally not my thing, but I am going to reach out and engage. I am having fun this time. It is easy this time. For so many reasons, I really am thankful this year. Relationships that were strained (or worse) are on track, weight loss is coming steadily, consistently, my hobbies are providing me so much pleasure and joy... life is good. It has been a long time since I could say that, and it feels good.

    Yay for you!! I don't normally use forums. I basically enjoy no face to face contact... ha ha. This site is fun though and everyone is so sweet that I have actually been participating. Also losing that weight just makes everything better. Glad u r here.

    Welcome to the forum! I signed up to MFP awhile ago, but didn't start using it until about 4 wks ago. I enjoy logging on and reading the forums. I love to see the great success that so many accomplish. This time it is different for me as well. I am happy to hear that your life is on track how you would like it to be. Keep up the good work! I have found friends on here that are really positive and motivated which helps.

    Welcome to the forums. I find that if I get off track emersing myself in the forum helps me get back on track. I think if we surround ourselves by people with the same goals and going through the same thing it helps.

    Enjoy, join challenges and post your successes :flowerforyou:
