HAPPY FRIDAY!! My name is Michelle and I have been on MFP for a little more than a month. I am really enjoying it but would like to build my circle with many more positive people. I try to encourage as much as I can. I have a very, very long journey ahead of me but I am ready and full of strength.

I just joined and would like to build a circle as will. I will send you a request.

It is hard when you know that you have work to do. However, when someone points it out tactlessly, that makes you even more insecure. My unfortunate wake up call was from an emergency room bed.

Your success is showing me what can happen when you find a goal and stick to it. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. :flowerforyou:
