MFP Newbie

Options
Hi,

I'm new to MFP so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 25 years old with about 30 pounds to lose. I've tried all kinds of diets and diet websites including Sparkpeople and Fatsecret. Some have worked a little bit but then I just gain the weight back. I'm finally ready to shed the rest of my weight and start living a healthy lifestyle.

I'm planning on moving to the Pacific Northwest at the beginning of September so this is a big motivator for me. From what I know of it they seem very health conscious and active which I love.

Any support and motivation to keep me going that any of you can give me would be much appreciated. I'm so excited to get started!

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I try my best to motivate. :) I am pretty new too so I am looking for some motivation from others as well.

    Thanks for the link. I'll definitely be joining this group. I can't wait to get to the Pacific Northwest. It seems like such a great active place to be.

    Hi there! I'm pretty new myself, but I must say that MFP has been a great help for my newly started diet so hopefully it will help you too. I am also looking for friends cause it'll sure be easier to do this "in a group".
