in Health and Weight Loss
I just found this site and think it's great way to watch food intake and get support with groups but it seems like most of them have been going for a while. Anyone new out there that wants to start from Week One? I know it's close to the holidays but if I don't keep watch I'll have gained ten pounds by Jan. 1st.

    Hello there and welcome :flowerforyou:
    I felt the same when I first joined...that most of the groups have been going for a while.
    I'd love to join you in your quest!

    Hello. I joined the site back in September but I really just became faithful about a week ago. Now I live by MFP. It makes it very easy for me to make the right decisions!

    So where are we gonna start the group at? will it be here on this post.
    By the way, I'm Andrea,Just had a baby last year, and decided finally to start exercising and eating right around Aug. I have been using MFP since then, but at times need that push and motivation, to help me along the way. I look forward to getting know you all.

    I'm not sure how to create a group. Is this it, and we come to this site? I found it today by typing my name, Patricia184 because I didn't even know where to go find it.
    Sorry I'm so new and computer illiterate.

    Yesterday was a good day for me because of this plan and knowing I had to write down what I ate, and it's sooo easy.

    "Focused people" is the right phrase because dedication seems to come in cycles and right now I'm ready! ready! to start my new life and this plan will work. I've been doing a Weight Challenge for the past year so that I'd have to weigh in weekly but I gained back ten of the 20 pounds I lost when I stopped going. Frustrating that it came back on sooo easily and of sooo hard!

    To find posts that you have created/commented on just go to 'COMMUNITY' at the top of your page and then click on 'MY TOPICS'. From there you'll be able to pick out which one you want :) Hope I was of some help!

    I'd love to be part of a group. I joined recently and always find I have an easier time sticking to a plan if there's other people to talk about it with.
