in Introduce Yourself
I don't know anyone who uses MFP and would like to have a little "community" support! Challenging stuff like weight loss and fitness is easier when you have people to help hold you accountable and motivate you.

About me: I'm a 22 year old horse person and college student who has put on about 35 pounds in recent years. I'm finally making healthy lifestyle changes! Tell me about yourselves (=

    You can add me too, i've been on here for awhile, but finally decided to setup my profile yesterday. So far so good, wanted to cheat to day, but thinking about this site kept me on track.

    Welcome to the community. You have come to the right place. There are lots of nice, supportive folks on here. Feel free to add me.

    There are also groups on here, including some for horse lovers. Here is the first one that I came across:

    Good luck with your lifestyle change.

    I'm 52 but definitely eager to encourage others in hopes of receiving the same. I injured my knee this summer and am trying to get back on track. Would love to have you add me as a friend and I'll reciprocate. I know I'm a little older than you but not necessarily wiser.

    Hello & Welcome to MFP!

    I think one of the best things about this community is it's willingness to lend support.

    It's great that you have the foresight to making a lifestyle change so young.

    Best of luck!
