in Introduce Yourself
I'm new to MyFitnessPal, I guess I hit "rock bottom" a little over a week ago when I went to the doctor and saw the scale hit 200. Scary.
I decided to try the Nutrisystem diet, but my family and friends don't understand. I'd love to find a group of people that are going through the same thing I am.

    Hi Danik!

    How is nutrasystem going for you so far? I used it a few years ago and had trouble staying on it, but I hear the food has gotten much better. Welcome!

    welcome. You will find nothing but support here and an easy to use system. I have dropped 20 pounds and still losing. I was over 200 and really having self esteem issues. But now I am starting to see a difference and getting to wear smaller sizes. It feels so good. I would like to send you a friend request, but do not feel obligated. Good luck to you, you have come to the right place.

    Good luck with that. Make sure that you take the time to learn how to change your diet and exercise while you are on it because I have heard quite a few people complain that they lose a lot while on Nutrisystem but when they go off they gain it all back and then some. Still, I wish you the best of luck with your long term goals.

    Welcome. You can do it. If I can drop 20 pounds you can too! I started at 190... now 170.... I am 5.4. Got 40 to go.

    .... Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in my life have I done anything like MFP.

    I get to eat my own food, get really good advice, support, and encouragement from MFP friends and drop weight.

    You can do it... send friend request if you want.

    Claire
