Am not new to dieting, but am new to MFP. I am very bad at motivating myself and keeping myself accountable. I am hoping that by joining this website, your posts will keep me going. Am excited to be here!

    Welcome to MFP....i think you will find this site a wonderful tool for your new life journey. Most people on here dont say
    we are dieting....you are not dieting, you are making a new life choice!!! diet implies there is an end! this has to be a life
    commitment!
    Please feel free to add me as a friend and I will try very hard to support. I could not have done what I have done without
    my MFP peeps! they have truly become friends!!

    Take care and good luck!!!

    I think many of us have problems with staying motivated. MFP helps just by logging what you eat and your exercise BUT of course getting support of "friends" helps even more. I tried to get some of my friends and family (who were making life changes as well) to join MFP but they would not :( but I will do this!

    Hi Mary! I feel the same way and need all of the support and accountability partners I can get. I am looking at this as a lifestyle change and am on the road to being a healthier person. I know I feel better and have more energy when I eat healthy. Feel free to add me as a friend. The more friends and accountability partners I have the better my chances of succeeding!
