in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,
I'm Sherry from Michigan and would love to have a few new friends/accountability partners to encourage, support and uplift each other while accomplishing our weight loss goals. I Just bought my Fitbit yesterday and today's my first day. Any tips? I welcome the support.

    Hi Sherry, I'm Susan in Kansas! Welcome to MFP. I absolutely love this site. Being able to track everything that I eat is so beneficial. I was recently diagnosed as diabetic and need to watch my carbs as well as calories. I have thought about buying a fitbit, but haven't yet. I'll be anxious to hear how you like it. If you'd like to be friends, please add me.

    Hi Susan!
    Thanks for the reply.I also was diagnosed last week as being borderline or pre-diabetic. I bought the Fitbit so I can move more since studies say people with sedentary jobs get heart disease and diabetes even if they eat right. I sit at a desk all day.
    But I absolutely love MFP! It's so easy to use and I know I can learn tips from experienced users so I can get the most of it. I'll add you; looking forward to getting fit with you!

    Hi everyone! I'm looking for for fitness and weight loss friends to help encourage me and hopefully vice versa! Started dukan diet a month ago - Lost 14 pounds but couldn't handle protein allll the time so I made some changes but nothing drastic. Hoping to lose 80 more pounds. Long road ahead but looking forward to reaching my monthly goals. :)

    Hi. My name is Debbie and I am from the suburbs of Philadelphia. I am currently on the treadmill. This is the first day of a new start. I have a wedding to attend on the beach in the Keys in April. I weigh 179 and I have six weeks to lose as much as I can in a healthy way. I am 5'3" and just turned 59 on February 24. I would like to lose 12 pounds by April 17. I wish everyone the best in their journey to health. I know what I need to do. How about you?

    Hi my name is Debbie also. I am from a small suburb of Chicago called Libertyville. I started this weight loss journey a couple of years ago and lost 20 lbs. I have slowly put back on because I thought I could stay motivated on my own. This is not the case and I would love to join you all for support and encouragement. Good luck to everyone.

    I was borderline diabetic too! I am 10 lbs down and had a blood test the other day and my blood sugar is now normal!! Cutting out all the soda and much of the sugar I used to eat helped immensely!!! I'm eating a healthier diet now which is also helping!!! Best wishes to you! You can add me and I will try to help keep you accountable and try to motivate! Great support here in the MFP community if you pay attention to the community posts and choose your friends accordingly - there are a lot of positive people!
