New to Group
Hi! I joined MFP and started becoming healthier on 02/13/12. I lost about 100 pounds in 2012. Simply eating less and moving more. But, that pretty much stopped working in 2013.

News Feed Comments
I've only been doing this a couple months and I've never participated in a social networking site before. So far, I've learned from these forums that sending friend requests without a comment is a no-no. But, what is an appropriate level of support for MFP friends through news feed comments?
