Hello!
I've been using MFP for almost two years, and have had success over the last year. So far everything I've done has been by myself - but I recently discovered the community part of MFP. I like reading posts and making comments, but I'm not sure I'm ready for friends!
That sounds a bit strange (I love being social), but my weight loss has been for me and me alone; I'm concerned about adding friends because I don't want to be competitive with anyone but myself, and I don't want make comparisons between myself and anyone else.
All that being said, I have a question for you! Have you made friends using MFP? What has your experience been like with it? Do you find it helpful? I would appreciate reading about any kind of feedback you have!
Thanks for reading!!
