in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I'm semi new to MFP. Tried it for awhile and gave up. I'm finally starting to feel motivated again and I really need help and support. I'm 22 years old and have always felt insecure about my body so I really want to do something about it. I know it takes hard work so I'm going to need all the help I can get :) and I'd be happy to support anyone else who needs it! Feel free to add me :)

    Hey, I'm somewhat new to this too.. And can't seem to keep on track! I am also 22, and have literally NEVER felt comfortable with how I look! (since like 4th grade!) I could really use some motivation as well!!

    hey newbs!!! :wink: I'm starting to get back on track my self. I used MFP last year while getting in shape for a mud run. I managed to loose 40lbs but then I stopped using this app and gained most of it back this last year. The key is keep logging even if you have to guess at things sometimes. I find that I start to think about what I want to eat and then how I will log it. Sometimes the thought of adding up that fast food meal just makes me sick and I try to make better choices. Raw foods and natural items seem to be easier to log for me. Anyway please feel free to add me as a friend. I haven't made any contacts here yet but I'm ready to start. Good luck and Kudos on getting healthy.

    Welcome! I agree that just looking at the success story thread is inspiring! You will find so much information, support and even things you didn't know you were looking for here. You will succeed - if you were destined to fail you wouldn't be reaching out for support. Congratulations!

    I'm new to this group also. Have had an on again/off again relationship with living healthier, losing weight for over 10 years now. Feel like I'm in a good place now. I've lost a little over 20 pounds since Christmas with another 10-20 (?) to go. My main reason for doing this is to be healthier and more energetic, and to not allow my body shape/weight to hold me back.

    I'm approaching 40, married & mother of 3. I work full time, and part time, and I'm a grad student. Not in class right now but will be taking a full time load starting back in August. Time is precious and in limited supply. I'm using a Fitbit and also like MapMyWalk. I make sure to get in at least 10k steps a day, sometimes more. I started logging my food at MyFitnessPal about 2 months ago. Really like the ease of the site & app. The 2 resources (Fitbit, MFP) help me to keep the two primary areas - activity level and nutrition - in check. Still need to work on strength training.

    I just started back again a few weeks ago myself using MFP. Tried it awhile back but didn't keep up. I've done great losing weight as long asI've worked out along with it. But I had to have 2 surgeries last month (ruptured appendix & complications from it) & cannot workout yet. So keeping track of every calorie this past month has definitely helped keep my weight stable!

    Lemme know if you need some extra motivation! I'll kick your butt! Feel free to add me ^^
