in Introduce Yourself
I would really like to add some friends to my list that actually comment and like posts. If your committed to this and your a person that actually comments and tries to be encouraging then feel free to add me.

I am revamping my friend list. I don't want to feel like no one ever is there to help motivate or encourage me. I don't always need it but it is nice to feel like I am helping others and that others are watching out for me.

    I absolutely agree with you whole heartedly, I weill be clearing my friends list in new year as I am thinking people may be too busy. I don't really like the LIKE button either as it tells you nothing except someone read your post well maybe anyway. Feel free to add me I am on everyday and have an open diary as you can see by my wall I am very supportive to me mfp friends

    Sure add me if you would like. I have just come back after a long time away and I prefer quality friends of a huge number of people who I don't know or who don't really interact. Also I have a huge amount of weight to lose and then some fitness goals to achieve after that so I will be around for quite some time.

    I'm wondering, do you give people something to comment on? My personal approach is this: i don't comment on exercise or if people log their food. I only comment on diary comments that people actually write. Doesn't matter whether its positive or negative but its only those comments that i respond to. I couldn't care less what exercise someone logs in their diary. And its quite a lot of effort to check out my friends diaries so i only look at them if there seems to be a reason for it.

    so yeah, do you write posts or just expect people to look at your diary every day and/or respond to your exercise log? I'm thinking that perhaps other people could be like this too.

    On the other hand, i know that some people don't have time to read through posts on their home page so they rush in to mfp log their food and then rush off to bed or whatever else they have to do.

    I don't use this site as Facebook if that is what you mean but I do say things from time to time. I don't, as you put it, expect anything from anyone. We are all different and we all have lives. I am just trying to add more support on here to help me with accountability. I was feeling like I could log that I ate an entire cake, 3 candy bars, a gallon of ice cream and 4 slices of Cheesecake and all anyone would say is.......good job, or nice day. If anyone said anything at all. If that helps to explain my reasoning for this thread. Have a good day and thank you for your response.

    I just opened my account and would love for you to add me, I need to surround myself with people who will encourage me instead of telling me that I'm wasting my time :(

    awesomejdad - I log in daily, and comment on my friends' statuses, although this time of year I tend to be much more brief (although I do have verbose days LOL). Feel free to add me, if you'd like. I also don't use the site as a Facebook type of thing - well, not a lot! I will admit to posting the fitness-y stuff here on my newsfeed that I know my FB friends don't appreciate but I do try to contain myself ;)

    I know what you mean! Support is important. Even a like is a little cheerleading. Good luck! You can add me too!

    That sounds like a damn good day to me. We probably wouldn't be good friends. :p
