    Hi there, when I very first started using MFP I faithfully logged every bite. I asked family and friends to join. It was rocky at times, mostly anxiety that I was eating too much or too little. Once I stopped judging my entries and myself I began to notice that some foods I'd thought were lower in calories were actually terribly high, once I didn't even believe it could be accurate, sadly it was.

    Next thing you know I had lost weight. At my lowest I lost about 20 pounds. It was amazing.

    Support became a problem. Family and friends weren't committed to MFP, which is fine. Still, over time and without support I found myself logging less often, in less detail, and then not at all.

    My journey is my responsibility. I've decided to search some of the options here which is how I found your post.

    Hopefully this will be the beginning of the support I need, both giving and receiving. To that end, how can I help you with the support and motivation you need?
