    Probably not ready to fully commit yet.

    this website has a lot of glitches. i think that in part puts people off. and on the forums everyone is sensitive and gets upset way to easy.

    my theory is that MFP attracts a lot of people who are not very familiar with online communities.

    People get excited, join up, and quickly lose interest. I imagine people are like that with most things.

    I tried once but I just can't quit MFP. Sad.

    Many reasons, they lose interest, lose hope, have a bad experience on the forum, don't get the answer they were wanting, move on to the next "diet" thing...

    MFP tends to be a fickle beast, people (as said before) are quick to join and even quicker to leave. Just keep a tight group of friends on here that support each other and thats all you can ask.


    Side note... has anyone noticed that 95% of people from Australia are beautiful? Men, women, young and old... is it something in the water? If I moved to Australia, would I instantly become good looking?

    you need better friends. sounds like yours didn't come with any support, so you didn't benefit from it.

    I can be your friend with benefits..... wait..... thats not right right? hahahah.

    Unsure, but I'm 95 days in and counting. I find it addicting so I don't get it. Then again the community board helps keep it entertaining also.

    Depends. There are A LOT of underage and pro-anorexia/bulimia people on here that get reported and deleted by the mods. If they're not that, then the things the other posters have mentioned are all very true.
