hello, I am new to this site, and I have to say it is very cool. I have been doing Weight Watchers but am migrating to this site. I struggle with motivation and encouragement. I am hoping to find some online buddies to help with this as well as possibly finding some workout buddies for weekend activities.

    Hello!
    I joined MFP last week and I'm already finding it really useful. Being able to keep track of you calories is really good help.
    What are your goals?
    Good luck!

    i've been on here a while, it's really easy to use and the database for food is incredibly easy to use. I'm a busy mom of two boys if i can fit it in anyone can.

    Oh gosh, you are all so wonderful! Thank you so much! I am feeling better already! I am just about to my goal weight and then want to maintain. I would like to get more active and have fun. I am thinking of buying a bike so I can take advantage of some of the trails in Milton FL and where ever else I can find. I am trying to get up early to get my treadmill workout in or I will never get it done.

    My husband will be deploying again shortly, and I am getting nervous with the whole re-adjustment to being alone. Although it should be a great opportunity with plenty of time to get into a good workout routine and start running to pass the time.

    Only day 2 and the support is tremendous! And wow, the food tracking is really an eye opener! I have being doing WW for a year and never realized they patterns of eating, I tend to eat a lot of carbs...moreso than I need in 1 day.

    On WW I lost a total of 17 lbs in 1 year. I was not exercising as much as I should have been but do try to get a couple hours of exercise per week. The new WW program I am finding difficult with the new pointsplus program. I am 4 lbs from my goal weight at this time. Then, it is just a matter of working hard to stay at goal.

    Hi there new to the website as of last week. Looking to really tone. Lost 30 lbs in the past 2 years mostly through eating "clean" food and exercise. Tracking the intake of calories and output of exercise really helps. :smile: Would love to help motivate you since I am an almost certified trainer-
