in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I've been on mfp for a few weeks. I previously had been using two different sites, one to track calories and one to track exercise. I also used the bodybugg system for awhile but got tired of paying so much for the program. My cousin, who has done very well in her weight loss and maintenence mentioned mfp to me so I thought I would give it a try. The one thing that I have found missing in the other sites I have used is interaction with other people for encouragement and help... so here I am. I would love it if anyone who would be willing to help me with my goal would friend me. Of course I offer friendship, encouragment and help in return. Thanks in advance everyone!

    Hi! You can add me! I'm the same, I sometimes need help with encouragement and just staying on track. I work in an office 8hrs of the day, and believe it or not, I'm exhausted by the time I get home, and get dinner on the table for my son and I. I usually do yoga a few times a week, I love it. It's SO relaxing!! I need to start waking up earlier in the AM and doing my AM yoga too! I used to do WW, and that helped a lot, but it got too expensive, so I found this site, and started counting calories. I thought about looking into Sensa to help curb my cravings, bc that's my problem, I can eat and eat, and never stop :(
    Good luck on your weight loss!!

    You can add me - I'd be happy to help any way I can.

    I don't have a dramatic amount of weight to lose, but it has been stubborn and it has been a long, tough road!

    Anyone can feel free to add me...but only if you will help encourage me. I've had other people friend me and then I don't hear another word from them! I always try to encourage my friends. We all need someone telling us we've done a good job. Or, sometimes we need to hear that we're straying away and need that helping hand to bring us back into the program. Thanks!

    Thanks all! I think I got friend requests out. I'd love to have all the supportive friends I can get. I try very hard to get on mfp everyday (except for last week when I got married and was off on my honeymoon). I also try to be supportive back with all my friends! Good luck to everyone on their journeys.

    Thanks! I started this journey in July of last year and lost almost all of it in the first 5 months. It's really been a struggle to stay motivated to exercise, life always seems to get in the way (especially when I am dealing with an ornery almost 3 year old all day)

    Welcome, I am new to this site, and have already lost 85lbs and am 10 lbs away from what I considered my ultimate goal weight. I too was/am a bodybugg user but find this site more helpful and encouraging. I am hoping that mfp will help me past this plateau and get me to the goal - I think that recording everying will be what helps me most.

    Stay focused and sure feel free to add me!
