in Introduce Yourself
I'm new to MFP, but not to trying to lose weight. That has been a life long battle. I've spent the last year on CK, but found myself using the blogs socially and not for weight loss/health improvement.

While I love new friends, I really need people to push me into a fresh start and to hold me accountable.

Are you one of those people?

I'd really appreciate your encouragement, guidance, and stories.

Be my friend?

    Welcome I am also a CK defector :laugh: as you can tell by the name. In fact the only thing I use CK for now is my friends.

    I log all of my food here. The food diary is awesome.

    CK is another weight loss site that many of us have been on for years, but alas they started charging for membership.

    Alot of us have looked at other free sites, but they were busy with ads, emails, etc.

    I found MFP about 2-3 weeks ago and have been in love with it since. The food diary is out of this world which I didn't think would be possible compared to CK's but MFP's is so much better.

    I love the people at the other site, but with the economy the way it is, I would rather spend the $75 on something else.... like new "skinny" clothes!

    Me too! Free is good.

    and I think the food diary here is awesome....
    (and I like how we can quote people in the forums too and these tickers are pretty cool as well)

    Yea, I know.... I lost lots of weight at the "other site" - but this one seems to have a very similar plan and I believe anyone who follows it will have success.

    I love the food diary as well! We don't have to add foods that others have already added. It is so much more comprehensive than the other site and quicker!
