Hesitantly Introducing Myself

As you can see, I'm hesitant about introducing myself here. I'm not the type to open myself up to a large group of people that I don't know. I'm a cynic by nature and wonder how effectively a group of strangers can support one another... but I'm willing to give it a try because I'm desperate, and I'm willing to admit that my current way of thinking isn't working. So, please prove me wrong!

Hi, this is my first time to introduce myself also. I like having some where to get on and keep track of all of my workouts & food I eat. I have been working out for about 8 weeks now and really watching what I eat and staying at my calorie intake goal for about 2 1/2 weeks. I have only been keeping track of my weight loss for about 3 weeks & in that 3 weeks I have now lost 9 pounds. I can totally tell my weight loss in my stomach and I feel so much better and have tons more energy.0

I was sceptical too, even joined a challenge thinking - there is no way they'll even know what I do. Oddly, this has been the most supportive and encouraging place, and its working for me. Good luck - hope you find your mojo here with us0

Oh we aren't bad I was just thinking about face book and how I don't have people on there that I don't know personally and with this site I have 25 some people I don't know that I AM friends with. I like it alot and am confident because we are all doing the same thing here losing weight :happy:0

MFP is the best thing I could have done. I started in January and had lost 30 pounds until I hit a plateau in Aug and have been stuck on the scale since...BUT!!!!! I've lost inches! So make sure you measure yourself and take pictures. Because when the scale stops you need to keep going and so will the inches! Good Luck. Add me if you would like.0

Hey Buddy! Welcome to the site!
You can use MFP as much as you need it. For me, I keep everything private and lurk around the posts to see if I can assist anyone or post something if I need someones assistance.
You'll find that with MFP's recent post feature, replies just POUR IN! So you're never alone mate, unless it suits you and thats fine too!
Welcome again!0 -
Welcome, I have been on MFP for a couple weeks and am just now introducing myself too. My name is Rachel and I am a sugar addict. I have a serious problem with self control. I unfortunately have been over my sugar intake each day that I have been logging. I am slowly improving, but have MAJOR relapses at least 2 times a week.0

Welcome to MFP! I am sure that you will get to love it here. I have met pals on here and I truly consider them my friends. They support me when I'm down, give me feedback when I need it, and tell me when they know I am making bad choices. I wish you the same!
Feel free to add me.0 -
I know how you feel. Friends on the Internet are transient and don't have a vested interest in anyone online. Nonetheless, any support is better than none. And very often, it doesn't take much to give you enough encouragement or challenge or whatever to get going and meet your goals. So give it a go and see what happens. You've nothing to lose but weight. :noway:0
