Hi everyone! I'm finally following my daughter's advice and being social on here. Tried going it alone a couple times, just using it to track etc, but when the stress hits, I've fallen off. I 'm generally a glass-half-full kind of person, and despite my track record on mfp am actually a rather friendly person. Hoping to give and get support & motivation on this weightloss journey.

Hi! Welcome to the group!! I have found that becoming active on some of the boards, signing up for some of the challenges and just acquiring friends on MFP has helped with my motivation and accountability. Hopefully it works for you too!
Good luck in your journey! We can do this!!

Hi. This is a great place with lots of support.0

I've also just tried to use MFP for tracking only and doing this alone, and it hasn't worked for long term changes. I'm trying to be more social and gain a support circle to hopefully make this the time that the changes stick.0

Welcome to the group, there are a lot of motivated and supportive people on here. Friends really do help to push us to be better I think.0

Hey there! I tried to do it all on my own last time too. I ended up frustrated and quit it for a year. Now I'm back and more involved, and it really has made a big difference. Add me if you like!0

Hi there. I too have decided it's time to become more active in the forums / community, so that I have some accountability. I've generally done it alone over the past few years and have fallen off the wagon when it's become a bit too much. I think ongoing support will make a difference. You can add me too0

Me too, I'm new to MFP. I really would like to become healthier overall and know people have been successful with this. Hoping to meet some new friends to go on this journey with Add me as a friend!0

Hi there! :flowerforyou:
I did the same thing! I joined MFP quite awhile ago and just "hovered", never participated. And never had any success! I decided 2014 was going to be very different!! No more trying to lose 2+ lbs a week (too aggressive), slow and steady for me! I started adding friends and really enjoy the interaction. I joined some groups (like this one) and a elimination challenge which I'm still in after 8 weeks (yay me)!
I don't always log food everyday but I do log in everyday to stay connected. I'm on day 93! That has really helped me to get back on track when I start to slide (like this past weekend :grumble: )!

I just turned 40 last week so am new to this group and this is my first post. I was doing really well while I was engaged in a weight loss challenge at work but now I've gained 3 lbs back and need to get back into gear.0

Hi all! I'm 43 and am just a little over 200 pounds. I'm 5'4" so I need to lose weight. I have quit smoking in the past using a forum such as this so maybe this support is what I need. I'm looking for ideas on how to make better food choices. I tend to go out to eat A LOT. Overall, I need a food makeover so that I can be healthier and fit better in my clothes. In addition, I have recently begun snoring! Ugh. I am not sure how MFP works though. Do I add people or just post to this group every once in a while?

Hi! I'm totally with you-- I thought I could do this by myself, and I didn't need any help. Well, obviously if I'm 40 and I still can't lose the weight I need a bit of help, right! So this time, i'm confident I'll be able to lose the weight and keep it off! We can do it together!0
