in Introduce Yourself
Hi there!

My name is Stephanie and I've been on this site for just over a week. I like it so far because it's giving me a reason to say "no" to foods I'd normally eat because I know I have to log it. I enjoy logging my exercise (when I have a chance to do it) and seeing what I "could" weigh in 5 weeks if I keep up the good work.

I'd love to have some friends here to help support and motivate me, so please feel free to add me :) I asked my circle of friends here in my home town if they'd like to join and ALL of them turned me down and were insulted that I thought they needed to lose weight :( Geez, can't a girl ask for some support? I guess weight is too sensitive a topic even for friends.

I'm looking forward to meeting new people who are in the same boat as I am and also need encouragement and support :)

    Hi! My name is Dee and I just joined myself and have no friends. Add me if you wish! I tried Weight Watchers since December, but didn't notice too much of a change. I decided to go to my fitness plan as they seem to offer more and it's free! So far I love it!
    I'll be posting my results! Good luck to you!

    Hi Stephanie and welcome to mfp!! I couldn't have come this far without all the wonderful support I get from my friends on here. I've been using mfp for awhile now and it's been a slow but learning process. I'm training my body to eat right and exercise for life. I'll send you out a friend request:) I also have no friends that live near me that support me but that just gives me the burn even more to continue lol. Good luck,, you can do this!!:)

    you can add me! you are going to do great! This program really lets you be in control,all food groups are available to you.
    logging your meals really makes you think twice in what you choose to fuel your body with.
    Here's to you!:smile:

    Wow!!! I'm blown away at the HUGE response from all you!! Thank you SO much!! I've never had so many friend requests at one time in my life LOL. In fact, I was trying to add everyone and I got this error message:

    "You cannot make more than 5 friend requests every 10 minutes."

    Hahahaa!!! LOVE it!! :-D
