I'm new on here. A family member and friend turned me onto MFP and I downloaded the app so I'm really excited to begin this new journey. I have had a difficult 7-1/2 years since my husband died and have let everything and I mean everything go but it's time for a change and to move forward. I have had some health issues pop up recently and need to get those under control. Need a lot of motivation but this time I'm taking it in small steps. Not looking for the end result today because it didn't take me one day to get this way.

    Welcome to MFP! I'm so sorry for your loss. You'll find a lot of motivating helpful people on this site. I love it here! I think I use this more than Facebook now lol. Sending you a friend request :smile:

    Sorry to hear that things have been tough, but good for you for making the decision to make some positive changes for yourself! :flowerforyou: I'm a big fan of 'small steps,' primarily because I know I will not continue to make healthier decisions if I view this as a quick diet vs. a lifestyle change.

    Best of luck...feel free to add me if you like.

    Thank you for the warm welcome. I have only been on here since yesterday and find that I have become addicted so fast. I'm learning my way around and trying to get it all figured out.

    I'm sorry for your loss. I'm new to this site as well, I've only been here for a week or so, and it's amazing. The people are so nice and supportive and the tools they offer are just awesome. I'm from upstate New York as well, so it's nice seeing another local on here! Good luck with your weight loss journey, I'm sure you'll do amazingly well. :)
