Much better topics than on MFP

[sandiburn 23]

Hello All,

I just wanted to say thank you for being here. I was banded on 8-4-11 and have struggled this yr. But I am back on track and truley ready to loose the weight I promised myself I would. When I first got started, I used MFP consistantly. I still use the cal counter, but the discussion forum stinks. It feels like a HS page sometimes. Anyway. I am glad that I am here with REAL discussions that help REAL people. Thank you again for being here for me!!!!

Sandiburn - I use the MFP application on my phone, and love it for tracking my calories, Protein intake, etc. One day I went on the site & checked out the forums. Like you, I couldn't relate to much of it. Of the millions of people in those forums, not all have a serious weight issue. Some struggle with only 10,15, 20 pounds. In the WLS forums, you don't find any of those people, and who participates here are those who share the lifelong struggle with obesity.

I found this forum last week, and now check in every day. LOVE the support, and it's so helpful to read of others struggles AND success. Welcome aboard!
