I've been doing WW for a while but I thought I'd give MFP a try as well. So far, I'm loving it! It's kind of freeing to be able to know the calories in foods, instead of just the WW points.

I'm feeling kind of lonely on MFP, since I've only got a few friends. I'd love some friends to encourage me to stay with this, even once I go back to school at the end of August.

About me: College junior from California but go to school in Boston. I've gotten really into running in the past few months. I'm super slow but I'm proud that I can run 4 miles without stopping! I love to cook and bake and like that I can 'unload' my baked goods at the office, so I don't eat too many of them. :D

    I just graduated in May from college. I love cooking and trying new things out. And Baking is so much fun :) I hope you like mfp. I have become totally hands down addicted to it in the last week. If you are looking for friends I'd love to help support each other in our goals :)

    I just started yesterday and could use some mfp friends! I like running too, but it's really hard to motivate myself... Kudos to you for going 4 miles!!! so far i can only run about 1.5 without stopping... with walking breaks I can go about 2.5.

    I feel like I gain the most weight while i'm at school because I eat when there's nothing else to do -__-. what's everyone's major? Mine's Psychology!!

    I'm also going to be a junior! Definitely gained 10 pounds at college, but trying so hard to lose it. Doesn't help that during the summer I work full time and at school I am busy all day :(. But I've learned eating and exercising are equally important as grades
