Hello all. My name is Jennie. I was here under another name previously and had to erase my account due to poor choices I made when adding MFP "friends." I'd really like some positive supportive friends who don't jump on people for not eating less than the recommeded calories. I just want people to cheer me on when I do well and people to cheer on in return. I am restarting my diet and my President's Challenge tomorrow and I can use some love and support as I do so.

    Hi Jennie! I would be more than happy to help you through your weight loss journey. As for eating less calories than the prescribed, sometimes it's a great way to kick start the journey. My only caution is try not to let the calories consume you. They are vital to weight loss - 90%. But daily exercise is essential too. Looking forward to encouraging you through this process.

    I have been a member of Fitness Pal for awhile now, but haven't been very dedicated. I need some support to maintain my motivation as well. My 50th birthday is coming up and I want to be thinner by then. I would appreciate having your support.

    Hi Jennie! I'm sorry you had a bad experience first time around with this site. It's a shame people try to down others when we are all here for the same reason. Hope this time around is completely different for you! Good luck :flowerforyou:
