in Introduce Yourself
This is my first time signing up in a community like this. I've been using myfitnesspal for more than one week and I like it so much! I lost 1.6kg/3.5lbs so far and I'm happy because I can see progress.

The best thing of all is the community. People give motivation, share tips, ask/answer questions, to one another regardless where they come from, how much they weigh, etc. Lovely! :)

myfitnesspal is definitely my new Facebook. The difference is, in myfitnesspal, I don't know any of my friends personally but the motivation and support they give are way better than what I get from my Facebook friends whom I know personally. Here, we have the same direction.

I just find it wonderful and I want to share my feelings here :happy:

To the healthier us. Cheers~

p/s: Feel free to add me as your friend :wink:

    I love this site mainly because of the way it makes me think before I order when I go somewhere. Being conscious of what I'm putting in my body has made a big difference in helping me get healthy. I also love all the forums and support on here, it's amazingly helpful!

    Welcome and congrats on your weight loss!! Great!!

    I actually ended up deleting my FB account after some time here.... I found MFP friends seem much more invested in what's going on in my life and offer much more support. I love it here!

    WORD, Angelina!

    In addition to finding people who can relate to my fitness goals and body image, I've found more encouragement on this site than in my non-virtual reality life :o)

    Anyone is welcome to add me for some extra support!
