Hi All,
I am not exactly new to MFP but I am new to the message boards. I am been trying to lose weight for awhile and now it is finally starting to happen. In addition to using MFP, I have been implementing some of the techniques that I found in one of my weight loss books and now I am finally shedding pounds again. So far I am pleased with my weight loss. My actually beginning weight was 254 but that isn't reflected on my page since I wasn't using MFP back then. Now that things are starting to move in the right direction, all I need is some support to keep my motivation high which is why I am here. I look forward to being a means of support to others and also getting some much needed support.

    Hi, I am in the same boat. I started losing weight on my own and then found this site. I really love what I have seen so far. I have lost 38 pounds already and still need to do more. Working on it one day at a time. It took a long time to get this way and I know it will take a while to get it off. But with help from friends and this site I will get there.

    Hi there!
    Great job getting off on the right foot!

    I'm new here as well and I'm getting so much out of the information on this site when it comes to calorie intake and exercise, plateaus, and starvation mode. It explains so many mysteries.

    While I'm in Fredericksburg, I know Lynchburg and love it there.

    We certainly are in the same boat, count on my encouragement.
