in Introduce Yourself
I can be shy and afraid to get out there, I dont have very much confidence and I need and want a change. I dont have very many friends to go to for support, so I would like to meet encouraging new poeple with a positive outlook. I am good at lifting up other poeple so I could offer you the same support in return.

    Amber_Christen,
    I am fairly new here myself. I've been using MFP for 5 weeks, and have made some friends that are very supportive to me in my quest to shed pounds. You may certainly call on me as a friend if you'd like. I would also say welcome, and I hope your goals are achieved!

    Hello all of you! I have been around here for about 2 years now, but really started getting serious about weightloss. MFP really is a great place to build a network, and I would be more than happy to support all of you. :) Please feel free to add me or anyone for that matter. :)

    I'll add you! I'm coming up on my 2 years of consecutive days of logging in. I love this site, and between my husband and I we have lost 166 pounds (give or take). We went from eating out about 4 times/week and being the couch potato, to eating healthy, counting everything we put in our mouths, and became runners.

    Welcome! I've only been here 2 short months and my life is transforming. If you can build yourself a supportive network here, it really makes a huge difference. This community is filled with positive, helpful people. All of my lost weight has happened in the past 60 days. Please feel free to add me up! I love to support my friends. Here for you if you're here for me.

    It's amazing to me how many people ( and I"m one of them) are really shy and hold back. I'm the same way and understand. Add me if you like.

    Hi Amber, I'm new to this too...I'm starting my second week and I'm amazed at how much I ate without even thinking about it...no wonder the weight keeps piling on! Now that I track every bite, it makes me stop and think am I hungry, or eating out of habit? I also love that calories are added by doing cardio, now when I want to eat something that’s loaded with calories…I think, that’s 45 minutes on the treadmill - do I really want that? Good Luck & Be Strong!!

    I'm also looking for supportive friends... :bigsmile:

    If you want more friends, add some people! I usually add people that I see on the forums that have interesting/funny/insightful things to say.... then I look at their food diary/profile. I am trying to build a list of friends that are trying to work on healthy attitudes towards food and exercise. If I see someone lost a lot of weight, yet their diary has a doughnut for breakfast, fishsticks for lunch, and a rice cake for dinner (random example) I don't add them. You should open your diary, read other people's diaries, and then request to be friends with people you feel a common bond with. I've met a few really cool people on here and I'm taking it slowly...not just adding anyone who will accept a friend request. That's my take on it. Good luck girl!

    I need supportive friends. I have a few, but I hardly ever get replies on my fitness,etc. I have found that I REALLY need that extra motivation, so please friend me! I always respond to others. :c)

    I just joined yesterday, I really like posing the food and exercise. I have lost 167 lb on my own and in the past 5 years have gained 50lb. It was impossible to keep off for me anyway. I am going to catch it before I gain it all back, I am determined. It is all about your mind set and determination. I need all the support I can get too!!! I am going to get it off. :0
