Hi All!

I have been on MFP for a few weeks now and I love it. I am working hard, and although I am losing slowly, I am losing. I've really been moved by the support and love everyone on this site shows. It is awesome that we all have a common goal we are working towards.

I have decided that I'm no longer going on Facebook. I used to go on way too much and i am turning my focus to MFP. I have a few awesome friends on MFP and I really would like more. Please feel free to add me if you are also on this positive journey and looking for support.

I appreciate each and everyone of you. :)

    Hello and welcome!
    I am sure that you are a tad frustrated with losing at a slow rate, but remember that the slower the weightloss the more sustainable it will be. So, CONGRATS :)

    I applaud you for the FB sabbatical :) I am on it all the time, but I also have a large support network there.
    However, if you want support here, i am happy to to connect.

    Good luck and nice to meet you!

    Slow and steady wins the race, right? You are doing fantastic, keep it up!

    LOL, I was surprised this morning when I went to MFP before Facebook! It's just as addicting but maybe a little better for us, right?

    Love MFP, but can't seem to get rid of FB, I'm addicted!

    However, MFP is a GREAT source of motivation and support for my weight loss/healthier lifestyle journey. I'm sure my FB friends would laugh if I asked them anything about calorie counting or exercising! I love this place and am glad to have the support system!

    I have also strayed away from FB lately... much more REAL support on myfitnesspal ;-) i agree that this site might be just as addictive as FB lol.
    I too am looking for friends for support if anyone wants to add me. Every additional friend is extra motivation to succeed in this weight loss journey.

    Thank you for adding me. I agree with the need for support. It can do wonders to know you aren't struggling alone.
