Good morning. This is something very new for me. I am usually a very private do it myself kinda person. Thats probably one of the reasons I am the weight I am now. But I was reading some of the posts on here and the support seems amazing. :happy:
I have had a rough past 6 months and found out yesterday after getting on the scale that I have put on quite a bit of weight during this time. I decided right there it is time to do something about it. So here I am starting my long much needed weight los journey today. I know this is not going to be quick or easy so any support would be greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day. Darci :flowerforyou:

    Same here too. I have been trying on my own for awhile and its lose 3 and gain 5! Decided 3 days ago enough is enough. Time to be serious. I've never asked for friends on here before but from what I am reading that is a key to keeping with it so please add me so we can support each other.

    Happy 1st! As in happy 1st day of MFP! I started this site last year and didn't really keep myself accountable, but I finally got on the right track and you can do it too. I try to make sure I hold myself accountable for EVERYTHING I eat, drink, and how much I exercise!

    The support on this site is wonderful and I found for myself that making it kind of a competition makes it easier for me.

    You can do this!! Get friends and most should support you in your journey!

    Hi Darci ~

    WELCOME!!! Today is my 11th day on my journey or adventure....and I have never felt better physically and mentally. I have a long road ahead of me and am so happy that I have my fittness pals to support along the way. I have had a few tough days too where I wasn't under my goal - but I keep at it and log everything that I eat and know I will do this.
    Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.
    Have a great Monday!!!
