in Getting Started
Hello,

I downloaded MFP nearly a year ago but never used it. The time is NOW. I've logged in for 5 days in a row now, wooo!! Would love to connect with people and share successes and support each other when we need it. I have a long term goal of losing around 70 pounds, but I'm looking at the small hurdles and will celebrate each 10 pounds.

I recently moved to a new area and am starting a new job this week. Big changes!

What's your story? let's connect!

-Meggan

    Oh, I'm 29 and recently moved to Georgia. (that seems to matter on here, so thought I'd add it)

    Hi! Here from Toronto - also have a long term goal of 70 lbs but hoping to celebrate the milestones along the way to keep motivated! I’ve used MFP before and it really works but need to get back on track!
    Sounds like we might make good buddies!

    Hi there. I have been a fitness pal for years and never really tracked like i should. I ended up joining WW and tracking on there with no problem so i decided why not do it on here. So i am back to tracking and logging my food. Looking for accountability friends to keep in touch with. FYI i am in NJ.

    Hi. I would love accountability partners! I am 29 living in NY. I started WW after having my second child but I can't afford it now that I am a single mama. I have a goal of losing 50 lbs. What's the best way to connect?

    Hi there! I've downloaded MFP twice and never really used it. I would love to connect with others to help with keeping me on track (especially at night!) my goal is to drop 25 lbs, but my body loves to stay at 165. I'd like to be lighter as I have developed a love for running and not carrying extra weight would make it a lot more enjoyable! I've been this weight for over 20 years but I haven't lost hope!

    Hi, Meggan. I join mfp for the second time. The first time was in 2010 and I hated the app. IT has greatly improved. I am on the journey to loose at least 57 pounds. That puts me in to a healthy weight for my height. I am from Indiana (not really sure why it matter. WE are all here to do the same thing and become healthier). Good luck feel free to add me. I have been here for just under 2 months! 18 pounds gone!

    I started using MFP 6 months ago, lost a bit of weight, and have fallen off the wagon, big time. I didn't gain it all back, but I've GOT to start again. I have to lose 50-60 pounds, am looking for support, and I'm from NM.

    Southwest AL here. Count me in! :)
    I've used MFP off/on for years. Had a 200 day streak going and fell of the wagon.. trying to get going again. Maybe we could start a group on here so we could all check in and may be a lil easier to keep up with and encourage each other?

    Hey everyone-- I didn't see how many responses there were until now! This is awesome, and looks like we have a great group of motivated people. Let's help hold each other accountable. I sure could have used some of you Saturday night when I convinced myself it was okay to have a big bowl of ice cream! Oops!!

    How are you all doing? I logged my first loss! Hoping I can keep it going. Send up updates!

    I'll go through and add those who are interested, thanks!

    Way to go on logging the lost!! That's always a great feeling! And you did that WITH that big bowl of ice cream you had Saturday night! Goes to show you that one ,what we see as a, mistake, didn't ruin your progress... you just got to keep going! Proud of you! I just finished a bowl of cereal instead of the protein shake I planned on having for breakfast and I'd LOVE to say that it was Kashi or something healthy, but it was Captain Crunch berries

    I'd be happy to connect as well! I've lost 40 pounds so far, with an overall goal of around 80. So just about half way there. I'm a daily logger, and I also "like" regularly and comment semi-regularly. Please feel free to add me and let's support each other! Oh, I'm also from Kansas! Happy logging! :)

    One thing i have learned from WW is that one meal or one day of "bad" (calorie rich) food doesn't mess up your progress. It is what you do after that. So a cheat meal or a cheat day is not the end of the world. Everything can be eaten in moderation. The only time you can't have something is when you have no control of it and it tails spin out of control. And well i am definitely here for support, so feel free to reach out if you can't control it cause i will:

    LOL Love that gif @butterflylily22
    I liked that about WW too! It also looked at the whole week which helped me. I think it's important to treat ourselves along the journey, but I definitely overdid it with the ice cream. I had Halo Top in my freezer and my fiance was eating this awesome Ben & Jerry's and I just couldn't say no!! It's not the end of the world!
