I have, but it's been years! At least back in my wild partying days :) HYE yelled someone's name in public then realized it wasn't who you thought it was?

he looks gnarly so sure! EDIT: we hit enter at the same time, but I'd also accept yours ^ :)

I hear you loud and clear! I'm not trying to complicate anything, I just realize that I, personally, needed to do more than just change my diet...I need to start being active and eating better food and all sorts of things to make a positive impact. That much being said, i'm glad you've been able to lose weight and work…

Welcome back! Now that we're buddies on here, I'm going to keep you on track!

mrsamedeka- I feel you, this time it really IS for real for real! Thanks so much for the well wishes, and I'll be sending positive vibes and encouragement your way too, let's stick to it! Nate

I'm not in the UK but I'd be glad to help you stay motivated and on track! My name is Nate, it's nice to meet you (and good luck!)

Graceisjinxed- Thanks so much for the additional info, I think when I get a chance to sit down tonight and read everything I'm going to feel way more informed about how this all works. Pleasure to meet you, and I'll see you around! Nate

I've recently joined and started posting in here for that exact same reason! I'll keep you motivated if you help me stay on track too :) Pleasure to meet you! Nate

This is super informative! I think i'm probably going to spend some time really digging into this information and all of the subpages listed here so I can better understand all of the components. Thanks so much for the link, and pleasure to meet you! Nate

I feel like I've accidentally triggered some hot button on these boards, and that wasn't my intention! I did, however, end up WAY under my calories goal on MFP the past few days and it displayed a warning about "starvation mode" so that's where the reference came from! That much being said, if I'm offending sensibilities,…

GrannyB- Thanks so much for the info about the protein/carbs situation. I've heard a lot about how it's not just calories themselves but also the quality of the food you eat and the ratio of where the calories come from (fat/protein/carbs). All of that sounded so complicated until I found this MFP to do it for me. I…

Hey there! Welcome to MFP! I joined a few weeks ago after a series of half-effort diet and exercise binges over the past few years. I'm also looking to meet some friends on here to help me stay on track and keep me honest. If you ever need encouragement or support, let me know, I'll cheer for you! Nate

Amber- Sounds like we've followed similar paths and maybe we're just what each other needs to stay on track! If you're anything like me, feeling like you're part of a community can really help you stick to your goals. That's why a lot of people seem to like group workouts and exercise classes for the bond you make with the…

KseRz- Thanks so much for the encouraging and informative response! I'm excited to be here and I've really decided to go all in this time. My better half and I have both committed time in our evenings for regular workouts, we're eating MUCH healthier foods and having an easier time with it now that we're BOTH doing it, and…
