in Introduce Yourself
Greetings from Amherst, Massachusetts! I'm a newbie in this online fitness tool thingy, just signed up yesterday. I've lost count how many times I've been on a diet and failed. I was also a bulimic. I've overcome bulimia but I'm still 19 lbs overweight. My goal is to lose this 19 lbs and get back in shape no matter how long it would take. I realize that weightloss is a tough journey and I would really appreciate companies so that we can support one another. Let's do it together!

    Welcome!!! I've been here since February and not only have I lost 20lbs (and counting) but I have completely changed my life. The friends I have met on here have made all the difference. It's so good to have a place that is supportive, encouraging and inspiring to go to everyday. MFP definitely works! I will send you a friend request and if any one else posts, feel free to add me. :)

    Glad to see new members!! I am more into maintaining my weight and actually gaining more pounds of muscle! I stay on here more to track what I eat. I too, am always looking for new friends to help encourage and be encouraged by, so anybody can feel free to add me as their friend!

    Welcome Newbie!

    We were all newbies once! Hope you find this site as encouraging and motivating as I do.

    Feel free to add me as a friend! Burlington, Massachusetts here, mostly maintaining, but I've got 3-5 lbs that could get lost permanently.

    Have a great day!!

    April
