Hi everyone,
I am new to MFP, but isn't the only site diet site I've used. I used My Fat Secret, and was a great site, but this site's food database is much larger, and the layout is better and more simple.
A little about me, I'm 26 and a few years ago I lost 40lbs using a doctor regulated diet program. I followed the rules strictly, and I was successful losing the weight. From then on, I used the diet sites to help me maintain my weight. Up until a few months ago I was still satisfied about my weight, but I have gained a few pounds due to medication changes. The medication weight gain has been so very hard to lose. I started using the site strictly again to monitor my calorie intake.
I see MFP has a much better community than the other, and thought I would give it a try, I am hoping, and looking for friends/support to help each other on this frustrating journey! I am the only one dieting in my home and people I am close to, so its not the easiest getting support when they are eating pizza and wings in front of me! I feel here, people will understand and know what I am going through.
I am open to anyone and everyone who would like to be friends and share support! I am from Birmingham, AL if any of you all are close, that would be cool. Have a nice day everyone!

Hey there! I just joined the site yesterday and I've already found so many supportive friends, and exercised two days in a row for the first time since I can remember. I hope you'll find the support and tools you need here, and I'd love to be your friend 0

I also have problems with weight gain from medication. Overall, I have gained like 40lbs since I started taking my medication. But I'm realizing that it is possible to lose weight. It's really helpful to track your calories on this site. I love it!
Feel free to add me as a friend. I try to keep up with my friends and give them support.
p.s. Welcome 0 -

Myself in a nutshell, my name is Lily. I am 22 years old and trying to tone my stomach. I have a 2 year old son. I just started Insanity a week ago. Today was day 9 and it has been better for me as days go by. I sometimes get unmotivated because I workout alone at home so I have to motivate myself, which is hard! So I am hoping to meet some friends here and find some motivation. I am basically trying to tone my "baby fat". I am fine with everything else. If any other moms out there are trying Insanity feel free to add me. We can motivate eachother! 0
