Hello everyone! I'm setting out to lose about 70 pounds, and since I've relocated to the middle of nowhere, Louisiana, I don't have anyone to help me get off of my butt and and assist in holding myself accountable. I'm hoping myfitness works.

I recently discovered I have borderline high cholesterol and this terrifies me. I'm almost 40 and I need to get back to healthy.

I've read some good success stories here, I've heard the people are friendly and I'm hoping to find some like-minded pals and that we can all help each other.

    Hello,

    I joined a few weeks ago as well. I have to admit I am not the best at keeping up with what I eat. I have a very busy schedule and forget to add my foods. I just started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred as well. I am on day 2.. and looking forward to the results. Hope you reach your goal!! :)

    Hello! I'm new too and looking for a support network (as all of my real life friends are skinny malinkeys who don't understand the allure of chocolate!)

    Good luck with your weight loss. I'm sure you'll love MFP (I've been using the app just for calorie counting until now and am addicted!)

    Hi there. Welcome and feel free to add me.

    I'd reccomend making your diary available for friends as I use this
    as a little extra motivation to keep on the straight and narrow.

    I forced myself to go to the gym today as didn't want ot go any longer
    without an exercise note on my wall.

    Good luck with your journey.

    Welcome to myfitness pal. This will really help you to lose weight. It makes it easy to record your food intake and your exercise. I've joined on February and have already lost 10 pounds. I know I can lose more if I exercise more but it's hard for me to make the time.

    Hi, welcome to the site! I think you'll find it's pretty amazing. I've tried other sites before and have quit using them after a matter of days, but I've been on MFP EVERY DAY since I joined in February and am loving it more and more! I'll add you as a friend for sure. :)

    I'm also looking for new friends and to grow my network on MFP - so anyone else can feel free to add me as well!
