We are already friends, but I have some advice on finding good friends on MFP.

Go to the forums and read through the topics. Look for people who:

1.) Make sensible comments about losing weight in a sustainable way without fad diets, or depriving yourself.
2.) See if their diary is open
3.) See if they have lost a lot of weight (40+ pounds)
4.) Go to their profile and read about them.
5.) If you want to friend them, send a NOTE with your request. Tell them about yourself and why you want to be friends.

I have reached out and requested almost all my friends. My newsfeed is filled with people reaching milestones of logging in each day, people losing weight, people exercising, people closing out their diaries and under their goal. I go to their diaries and see how they do it. They make sensible choices and don't deprive themselves.

When I go to my Friends list, next to almost everyone's name it says "Last Login: Today" I find this very motivating.

When I see someone has logged in for a while, I delete them. (The only people I haven't deleted are people I know in real life, so it seems rude to do it.)

We are both friends with "stackhead". Find more friends like her. She is doing it right.
