"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -- Michael Jordan

Good morning folks. I'm just really starting in on this MFP thing after countless nights of falling asleep to a mental refrain of "Tomorrow. Yeah, you'll start tomorrow." No more talk -- now, we're for real!

Anyway, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself, and also let anyone know I'm totally down for some mutual support in the form of friend requests, check-ins, etc. From my lurking around here over the past couple hours, it seems like the people who really embrace this as a team effort have a great chance of succeeding. So go team!

    Hey there new kid, I'm new too! I just started on MFP on Thursday. Feel free to add me! I do believe this journey is a bit less scary and intimidating with supportive friends to encourage you along the way.

    Feel free to add me.... It is a team effort, it makes this journey that much easier. To see people trying to reach some of the same goals you are trying to obtain.

    Hey New Kid!

    Thanks for that MJ quote.

    I'm new kid, too! Just started today as well. I'm also looking for a support system and decided to try out MFP. My "get back to me" journey started this time last year and I lost 26 pounds on my own. I let myself down and gained 11 back. Now I"m on a mission to lose that 11 plus 11 more and this time with help and support.

    Add me!

    Hello all.
    I'm also new to the MFP, giving it a try starting today. I saw this message board and thought I would jump in. Would anyone mind if I also jump in on this group of friends to get in some virtual motiviation and support to begin this journey and getting off my rump, which ain't getting any smaller by doing nothing. LOL.
