Hey everyone,

So I recently began using MFP again but this is not my first time on this site. A little over two years ago I began my weight loss journey. I was on this site for about 6 or 7 months and met some really great/kind people! However, I got a little too caught up in the site and lost my way so I decided it was best to leave. However, I am back trying to see if I can get it right this time with my health and fitness. But there are definitely some MFP users that I was friends with that I miss. Whether they deactivated or switched screen names, I thought you guys could tell me some of the people that you miss from this site?

I'll be posting some names as well (if I can remember them, after all it has been two years haha).

P.S. My former username was genuinelyfrans so on the off-chance someone out there remembers me, feel free to send me a message :)

    Oh, we haven't had this thread in about a year! Since it always ends up depressing people, I'll go ahead and start off with a cat gif. You can thank me later.

    It depresses people? I didn't know that. I just thought it would be a good place to talk about them or (for some) find these people if they couldn't find them before. i guess I'll have to get the ball rolling with a few of my own: I miss fieldsy4life since he was a really funny dude, always made me laugh when I first came onto this site! He was someone who I shared a lot with and I sort of looked up to at the time.There was also a girl I forgot her name but I remember she was from Georgia and I think referred to herself as "Barbie" and her screen name was like barbs something; she was sweet and helped to motivate me to continue working out and feel more confident!

    Oh Wow, so many ol MFP friends I miss too. I was on here a year or so ago and deactivated. Came back on yesterday to find I can't remember a username to save my life to see if they are still around.

    I know what you mean, part of the reason I started this: fieldsy I can still find on FB, but the other one the girl I can't find, I never got the chance to thank her. So we can talk about old friends here and hopefully (maybe) they may find us again :)

    I feel that if I name specific names, it could start some useless Internet feud. But, I'd like to say that, in general, I'm not fond of MFP "friends" who get p***ed off about their lack of success and wipe out their profile or delete you, as if it's your fault they can't make this thing work for them. Good riddance, I guess. I'm sick of offering encouraging or motivating sentiments only for them to be ignored because the person is unable and unwilling to stop listening to the voice in their head saying they can't do something. If you believe that you can't, then you won't.

    Well not everyone leaves for the same reason. I know of some who left because of family problems or were starting new endeavors. I left this site because I felt I came to rely on it too much for the wrong reasons. Also, not everyone here will ignore or be rude to you. But I do hope the friends you have now are supportive and kind since I've experienced some of what you are talking about!

    Um, I am sorry but I do not recognize the username or the photo so I can't say I do? Were we friends here before?

    Hey, I see you're finding your way! Can I direct you to something like how fabulous my cat is? Or, perhaps I'll go find some more Tom Hardy pics. Everybody got time for that.
