Hi, I'd like to introduce myself! My name is Jolyne, I joined MFP about a month ago when I stepped on the scale one day and wanted to die! I can't beleive I let myself live this unhealthy and let my body turn into this big nasty blob! Well, now everything has changed!

I'm not looking to do a quick fix diet or to cut anything out of my diet(well other then junk food, obviously!). This is about a lifestyle change for the rest of my life. It may take me a little longer to get to my ultimate goal but it's all about being active, eating clean and healthy!

Here is what I need from you! I need dedicated friends to add me. I'm always there to give you props for a good job but I also need support along the way or else I might just not make it! Take a look at my profile and if you feel you can be that supportive friend then pls, add me. If you need a friend who'll support you with every topic or question, add me!

Thanks for your time everyone and good luck with all your goals!

    MFP has great support, feel free to add me, always looking for motivation myself. I personally seem to find it here more with strangers than here outside the internet.

    I'd be more than happy to add you! Support is so important in order to be successful on this journey! MFP has been so great for me because if I ever have a question or need some encouragement, I can jump on the message boards or send a quick note, and someone's always there to give me a boost!

    Long Journey...Don't make it sound negative, make it an adventure. It takes time, but along the way you gain so much you wont even notice the time thats passed. It is all about life style change, and mental awareness. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish if you truly set your heart and mind to it!!

    Again.. Thank you all soo much! When I first signed up, I found this girl who had completed what I want to complete. I had added her as a friend and eagerly messaged her to get some tips because I wanted to be in her shoes, I wanted to be that success story. She never wrote me back and like a day later deleted me! I have to be honest, I was about to quit this site when that happend. I was like... what kind of people are on here! I'm just trying to do what you did and try and get some support along the way! What a SNOB!!!!

    Since then I had gotten a few great friends along the way and their support made the world of a difference! Now I have a large group of supporters and a large group of hard working friends that I can watch work hard and succeed with my encouragement to help along the way!
