Hi everyone!

My name is Gina and I'm in the midst of my second week on MFP. Reading the forums and blogs, I've been very impressed with the amount of support given through positive feedback. Like many others here, this isn't my first attempt to become more healthy by learning better eating habits and exercising more. Unlike my past attempts, though, I decided not to go it alone since it seemed like that really wasn't working for me. So, here I am!

I'm hoping to make a few friends who know the value of positive reinforcement and encouraging feedback. Though I have family and friends "on the outside" that are providing support, I think I might do a lot better if I can share with others who are going through the same things and understand what I'm talking about. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I've already made a couple of new friends and would love to help encourage a few more! Thanks, and I wish everyone patience, perserverence, prayers, and a little good luck on your journies!

    You are very smart to look for support in those who are going through the same trials as you. I also have "outside support" but it's just not the same. It's alway better to have a freind go at with you or to make friends in people who are actually doing this also. I think it's important to be able to share trials and acheivements with others who can understand and appreciate them. I'm Ashli by the way :) I'm also looking for a few friends on here I can discuss things with.

    I understand what you mean about 'outside support' and it really isn't the same. Thats really what brought me here too, and what prompted me to start posting things and interact with everyone else.

    Hi!
    The great part about this site is that you don't have to do it alone. Support helps tremendously and people going through what you are. I sent you a friend request. :)
