hi all, I've been on mfp for a while but haven't got to grips with using it properly and fell off the wagon and I had never visited the message boards.....

So what to say, well I have a load of weight to lose and have tried every fad out there and then some but this time I'm doing it properly, eating less calories and trying to exercise more.....this has to become a way of life for the long term, not just a short term fix.......

Right off for a good look round - looking forward to getting to know you better :)

    Well welcome to the site! Like you said before, most fads don't work and just make the person frustrated. There is one thing that has never failed when done properly and thats diet and exercise. It is a long term goal but we are here to help.

    Don't be afraid to add friends including myself to help you along this journey!

    Welcome and good luck with sticking with the program. I am happy to say that I to have tried everything but without much success, I love mfp and it seem to work and althought I wish the weight would come off faster at least it is comming off. My big problem is working out , I need me some major motivation which seems to elude me :)

    Welcom back and good luck! Feel free to add me as a friend. It took me 2 tries at MFP to be successful. The first time I didn't add any friends and went at it by myself but I quickly gave up. This time around I have friends who help keep me motivated and also give me ideas and tips on how to be more successful!
    Feel free to add me! !:)

    Hi there - you can add me as a friend if you want - I have 2 daughters that started uni last September (at the same time) so I know how you will be feeling later this year.
    I am sure you will do great on here with all the support and advice.
    Best of luck.
