New to MFP, looking for a sense of community, I guess?

in Introduce Yourself
So i started using Samsung Health app about 3 months ago and found alot of great features. Then several of those features were removed from the app. This App was recommended highly for its interface, and sense of community. I am a 34 y/o that 3 months ago weighed in at 277. 1 week ago I was hovering at 252, after an injury and a bout of depression I am sure I am somewhere around 258. Really looking for that community and to be able to inspire, and be inspired.

    welcome!

    i'm sorry to hear about your injury and depression. i can really relate as i put on weight after injury due to depression. hope your injury will improve!

    i suggest you visit the other forums and take part in some of the threads. this introduce yourself forum isn't as involving for most people as getting started and general health.

    Sorry to hear about your setbacks. Just jump in and participate in threads to find friends. There are many here with probably a beer similar story. Good luck

    Please forgive her for this. If I recall correctly she is Canadian, and obviously beer is always very near the surface during their thoughts!



    Being serious now, I agree with the above comments. Participate in the forums, fill out your profile some, and find like people you can relate to. There are plenty of people here that have had their own share of setbacks, including both injuries and depression. Finding the right community to help you power through any struggles can be a game changer for many.

    Haha how did that autocorrect happen. We do enjoy our beer up here maybe it is always in our thoughts

    I agree with filling out your profile makes you more accessible when we can read a bit about you.

    It’s so disconcerting and upsetting isn’t it when something you used and found useful disappears… I have had time away from this app, but back again to find that a lot of my original friends seem to have disappeared or maybe migrated to other places… I am doing the same as you, peeking into a bunch of forums to see who I can find that I can connect with. Big hugs to you for everything that you have been dealing with, and well done for carrying on… Honestly I think that means you are doing great in very difficult circumstances!

    I looked and what do you mean by update profile? I'm not sure what I would add. Maybe im missing something. Also thank you for all the encouraging replys.

    There should be a part that's entitles "about me" and a part for why you're doing this. It might not be available on the app but you can see it all on he web based one
