in Motivation and Support
I don't have a huge friend list, and it's all female (excluding my brother). However, I have met some of the strongest, kind-hearted women on MFP. I may not have "met" them in real life, but these ladies are near and dear to my heart. I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this in... But all of you motivate & support me everyday. I'm a military wife, I have no friends nearby. But I would gladly have some of you in a foxhole with me. Thank you.

    That's great that you have met such great ladies on here that are there to support your efforts everyday. I have encountered the the same thing (only I have some guys on my list too) When I started on MFP last year I only knew about the app from a girl at work and that's all I used. I added a few girls and a guy from work for support and did really well for several months until everyone else gradually stopped tracking. It was discouraging. Then this year an old friend of mine liked MFP on Facebook and when I liked it I ended up checking out the website on my computer and found the community and all the great people. I'm enjoying it so much more this time around!!

    I just think to myself "Look at all these beautiful women!" (and guys too!) I just love the encouragement & the lifting up of our own gender. I get so discouraged by the competitiveness I see between women. Let's all appreciate (celebrate!) each other's differences and beauty, right?

    Awww you are such a sweet heart. I would definitely have you in a fox whole with me because you kick major as and don't play around. You stay motivating and inspiring and I truly appreciate that. Much love and respect

    Awe. Too cute. I'm pretty new here and need to drop 40 pounds. You and your girls look fit.....I will get there soon. Do you guys eat back your calories?

    It always amazes me how close I feel to "complete strangers" on this site. I share things here I never would anywhere else and get nothing but positive support. I only have a couple guy friends too, so my list is all about the girls. Strong, supportive and happy with others success. The real world is full of jealousy and "stink eye" rather than the "wow great job" I get here. I too am grateful, and so happy my friend list grows every day. I love the give and take, talking someone off the chocolate ledge, being talked off the ledge, and whoot whoo-ing when the pounds come off. It's a positive place. I'm lucky :)

    Me, personally... Yes, most of the time. The best advice I can give you is to strength train! Weight lifting makes pretty, well- fed female bodies!

    Beautiful read :) I agree with you. Though I only exchange words with 2 friends from MFP so far - the support has been helpful on here. I wish to find more friends too as it truly is inspiring and a lovely thing not to feel alone in this.
