The Awesomeness

edited September 30 in Introduce Yourself
I have been here for a week, and already I know why this site is so popular, and why its members are often so successful. It's mostly about the people, and then it's about the site itself.

The people here are incredible. A lot of you are well-versed in nutrition and are probably capable of writing self-help books for people who need to get healthy. Your tips are mostly healthy and reasonable. Sure, I've seen false information here, but it's limited and tends to get blasted quickly so people know not to follow it. This is like a huge family of people united with similar dreams, walking the same path together toward success. The people are the motivators, and the motivation is the key to success.

The site deserves its credit as well. One who logs honestly will be shown clearly where she stands nutritionally. This, for me, has been a huge help already. The creators of the site have given us an awesome tool that actually works, and it's free. Thank you MFP.

Anyway, I see I am writing this in introductions which I didn't mean to do so I'll introduce myself again. lol I am Candace and I've been here for week and totally love it. My first week was rather successful with a loss of 11 pounds (mostly water). I've met a lot of truly amazing people and I am very much looking forward to meeting more as time flows on--and given that I have like 200 pounds to lose I will be here for quite some time. :)

Thanks to MFP and the friends I've made so far for making this such a great experience already. :D

<3 Candace
