"Rules"

Hi all, To make this work, I'd like to encourage/enforce a few things:
1) Add each other as friends with Open-diary setting. Here's why:
- My MFP mobile on my phone only shows newsfeed, and I can't access the wonderful forum that MFP website provides. But the newsfeed does show friend's status of so-and-so completed diary, so-and-so hit the gym, so-and-so completed a streak of 20 days. Those are super encouraging, so make those available please! PS: Settings> Diary Settings> Diary Sharing
2) NSV status posts
- This is the point of this group in the first place- a cozy support community! 'I can lift XX weight;, 'my bro told me im his inspiration!' etc are all welcomed
3) Whining status posts
- Again, this is the point of this group - getting someone to kick another someone in the butt when in need. We all have those " but my bed is so warm...", "it looks cloudy today", " 5 more minutes" mornings Or "im really tired today", "i already stood around a lot", "I could just rest a bit and do it tomorrow" afternoon/evenings. Say it loud on the MFP so someone can give you a virtual cheer :P
4) Motivational link/image status post
- Have I stressed "community" enough??
Love those quotes. Try to limit this to at most 1-2 per week, but who knows. Maybe someone across the globe just happen to need that quote to get out of bed.
In the spirit of reddit,
TL;DR: BE ACTIVE to make this a real support community!

Agree! I get sad when I can't see people's food diaries. I like to get ideas for new meals and combos plus, that guilt factor haha 0

I started adding people as friends... somewhere around page 3, I kind of lost steam. There are so many members!0

Yeah! I think I started from adding people in the forum, then adding people who seem to have already added others in the group. This group really grew faster & larger than I thought!0

I'll start adding people tomorrow, I'm up past my bedtime already!!
