All my friends are gone!

I took a month off to go on vacation with my husband and then to do some massive remodeling in my home. I get back and no friends! I just got dropped with no messages of concern or anything. So I guess I'm looking for a friend or two. I have lost 25 pounds since October. I would like to lose another 25 to 30 pounds but I am in no huge hurry. The weight I lose I want gone for good so I am watching my calories BUT I do allow myself treats on a regular basis. You will see the occasional slice of pizza and cheesecake on my logs and I've also been known to enjoy a good burger with a couple of cold beers. So if you can deal with my food logs not being entirely squeaky clean and my absence every now I then I could use you as a friend, thanks!

    Welcome back from vacay, fellow beer drinker. My diary usually includes whiskey, delicious IPAs (okay FINE an occasional Bud Light too) and my all time favorite: ice cream. I'm trying to cut down on my current sodium intake but I HAVE been staying within my calorie goals -- sometimes with room to spare! Who needs squeaky clean.

    I'm all for more friends! :drinker: :drinker:

    *Edit: My grammar are done bad ;)

    Hi, my name is Debbie. I am so sorry all of your friends are gone, but I bet they are out of town are something
    and haven't dropped you. I too have downed 25# as off today and am so excited, but unlike you I have alot more
    to lose, so I'm going to need people here longer than you will. LOL

    I will be good for days then all of a sudden I will think, "I've got to have a burger and fries" or a piece of chocolate
    cake. I eat them and don't think twice, because I know it's a one-time thing and it won't kill my plan forever. So, enjoy
    that beer. I just wish I liked it, however I do like a glass of wine or a margarita from time-to-time.

    Have a good day.

    I'm always looking for someone new and awesome.

    I've lost a bit over 40lbs over the past 2 years, but now I'm wanting to take it seriously to lose another 50, at least to start with.

    I'm trying to come to the site and journal every day, but I know I'll forget some days. I'm the absentminded professor type.

  • I would love to be friends! I think it really important to have a treat every once in a while as long as it is not undermining your goals. Add me if you would like!

    Congratulations on the 40# and that you have kept it off. That's encouraging to me. Where did you get that picture that is your
    photo...can't think of what it's called....you aren't the only absent-minded professor here, lol. Add me as a friend if you want, it's always good to have more friends and I'll add you.

    FR me if you like... I don't send FR to girls because 1) girls have cooties :wink: and 2) it feels creepy to me send them FRs (real reason).

    Imperial Pale Ales - just a delicious, hoppy type of beer. Not to promote alcoholism but.. what am I saying... try one.

    And of course! Added you :flowerforyou:

    I usually wait until they don't log in for 3 months or so before deleting friends. It is too bad they didn't wait very long especially in the summer. Sent friend request.

    i delete for lack of activity as well. i dont think its anyone trying to be mean, some people just prefer to keep an active group of friends. personally, i feel like i have facebook for those who just want to be friends, and mfp for those who are like minded, and have similar goals as me. its nothing personal, dont let it get to you! im sure you will add a whole new group of friends and continue where you left off! good luck to you!
