Hello everyone !
My name is Cortney and I am kind of new to this myfitnesspal thing. I finally decided that it was time for a change so I am following a 1,200 calorie a day diet. I have been following it pretty well but as a person who steps on the scale every morning (bad I know) I am easily discouraged. I would love some motivation from other people going through the same thing and I would love to add some friends on here. Have a healthy day !

Hi Cortney! My name is Erin and I'm also new to MFP (just joined last month). I'm also really bad about stepping on the scale every morning

Hi Courtney,
I could use an online pal. I am new to this and looking to lose 50+ pounds. I always get started on something new then lose motivation. Let's help each other! Nicole0
