I feel the same way! I really appreciate Melissa's welcome! Sometimes on message boards I tend to just lurk because everybody else always seems to already know each other. But there are always lots of new folks joining here every day ... so I have just decided to jump on in. I know I need all the support I can get ... and I'm old & have been around the block a few times ... so maybe I've picked up a trick or two along the way that I can share. Anyway ... welcome and don't be shy ... from a fellow newbie!0 -

Hi Gazelle--
Welcome and just so you know, you can add your ticker to your signature so you don't have to include it in posts all the time, which it looks like you're doing right now. Just follow the instructions below.
Q. How do I add a ticker to my forum signature?
A. Here's a quick explanation of how to add a weight loss ticker to your forum signature:
1. First, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on "Tickers" in the light blue bar below the tabs to reach the section of the site where you can create your ticker.
2. Follow the steps to create your ticker. They should (hopefully) be self-explanatory.
3. When your ticker has been completed, you'll be shown two boxes with code in them to display your ticker. Click on the box on the left (BBCode) - this is the code you need to use on the MyFitnessPal message boards. Highlight all of the code in that box (most browsers will do this automatically once you click on the box). If the code is not all highlighted, you can right-click on the box and choose "Select All"
4. Once you have highlighted all of the code, right click on the code and choose "Copy."
5. Now click on the "My Home" tab, then click "Settings" in the light blue bar below the tabs, and finally, click on the "Change forum signature" link.
6. Right-click in the box where you can type your forum signature and choose "Paste."
7. Finally, click "Save Changes."
Once you've saved your new forum signature, every post you've ever made should now display your ticker at the bottom of it. You don't need to create a new post to test your ticker - just look at any previous post, and the ticker will be displayed there if you've followed the steps properly.0 -

I'm quite new but I just have decided to jump in anyway and pretend to know everyone...:laugh: :laugh: They don't seem to minded yet:drinker: I don't think I've been here a month yet.....:flowerforyou: But I think that is the real key.....find a thread, see if something you have a comment on, start welcoming new folks even if you yourself joined 30 minutes ago....
It always feels good to everyone new or a long time member to be noticed and spoken too. It won't take you long at all to feel you're a part of things...but I truly do think we get out of life what we put into it......
Even this site applies to that :flowerforyou: Welcome Welcome :drinker:0 -

melissa73,
Hey fellow Purple Teammate!! :flowerforyou:
I think that was really thoughtful of you to post this mesage to make everyone feel welcome:drinker: ....it is hard for some to jump right in and say hullo...and this site isn't much fun if you merely lurk:noway: .... sharing and receiving knowledge makes it a complete pkg. :drinker:0 -

Yeah I feel like there is so many new people joining every day and then there are ones that don't even post at all.
I have learned and found out many things here that I wouldn't have before on my own.
The support that we give each other is amazing too.
As far as who I am in my pic. is the girl with the pig tails up front.
I like to be goofy sometimes too.:laugh:
Go purple.0 -

I'd love to think we all could really support one another in the good times and the rough times as well....it's the rough times some tend not to chat and I know it's easy to pull back...but amazinly that's when we get the support in luvin armloads and can get right back to work on what we all came here for.
SO HERE'S TO THE NEW PURPLE POWER ....:drinker: :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
