I guess the title says it all.. Ready to focus on my weight loss goals and nothing else. I feel like I am wandering around the internet, with no real home to settle at. The last 3 months I was so dedicated to a particular group, and had to walk away recently. I miss the support, and feel lost. I have been slipping the last week because of no true accountability..
Ready to get back on track, and get this freak'n weight off!!!

    Don't know about you, but this place is great in comparison to places like spark people-people would practically attach you there!

    I've been on Fit Day (hated it), Spark People (which was OK, but not as supportive), Facebook (where even private groups for fitness turn catty), and then MFP.

    MFP is the best, IMHO, for support and friendship. There's always going to be drama, no matter what website you are on, but when you get into the groove of things here it is easy to reach your goals because everyone wants everyone else to succeed (for the most part, even MFP has trolls...)

    I wish you the best in reaching your goals!

    Welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou:

    This website is great, i've tried loads of different weight loss websites and forums and never eally settled into any of them or with the weight loss tools, but MFP is so easy to use and all the people here are mega supportive, i honestly don't think i'd still be battling along this journey if it wasnt for MFP and these guys on here!

    Good luck with your journey and i hope you find MFP as supportive and helpful as the rest of us :happy:

    Well then Honey, Welcome Home:wink: , looks like you've found a new one that's a better fit.!:drinker: We'll have our little quirks like any place on the Net but we're a good bunch, a terrific site with awesome tools and fantastic support, out of all the rest, we're absolutely the BEST!:smooched:

    So sorry you ran in to drama elsewhere but great to have you aboard MFP now!:flowerforyou:

    I've never joined up and used other sites other than really enjoying all the articles on Spark from time to time, I've found what I need here. :heart:

    This place is amazing for support, but its also easy to avoid if you dont want to chat to anyone. I never find that personally though, but this is different to an actual forum. I LOVE it here!

    I think you'll really enjoy it here. There's occasionally a little drama, but it's very short-lived as those posts get zapped by our mods. ;)
