Has anyone met friends from MFP?

I am looking for people to help motivate each other, to go for walks together, eventually to hike together, etc. I was curious to see if this is something other people have done and if so, has it been helpful?
Meeting people from online is a scary thing but I don't have any other 300+lb friends who are in the same boat as me, so it's frustrating sometimes doing all of this by myself.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there may be groups that you can join on here or other fitness apps that's specifically for meeting up for workouts0

Almost, but I'm classier than working out in a Walmart bathroom. Not much, but a little bit classier.1

No, but I’ve made some terrific enemies.1

Also worth looking into is if you have a Facebook, sometimes there are groups geared towards that but more regional to your area. Or sites like meetup.com. I’ve seen a ton of fitness groups on there, all varying in what they do (ie. hiking, running, biking, etc).0

Yes and not even in a neutral place like a coffee shop. I’m a dangerous lady.0

Like Macy’s bathroom workouts? Are we still on for Wednesday?
Macy's bathroom workouts are great. People are courteous and don't try working in with you.0 -
No. All my MFP friends are unknown and anonymous to me.0
