I got my friends on MFP with me but they never even log in. How can I encourage my friends to get interested??

    It is hard to make someone want to change their life. Just keep trying. In the meantime, try adding some of the people on here as friends, and find a support group on the message boards. Add me as a friend if you would like! Good luck!

    Really, you can't. They have to want to do it. However, you can certainly friend me and I'll be supportive :)

    You can't force them... they have to want to do it. You should try making new online friends here! I've only been on the site for a little over a month and the support from my MFP virtual friends has been amazing!!

    I will echo the others..."you can lead a (fat) horse to water..." ha ha. Feel free to friend me. God knows I need the support as well.

    Peace.

    YOU CAN ADD ME IF YOU LIKE. I HAVE FOUND THAT SOMETIMES FRIENDS HERE ARE BETTER THAN YOUR REAL LIFE FRIENDS AT TIMES LIKE THIS BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GOING THRU THE SAME THINGS. DO TO THE FACT THAT WE WILL PROB NEVER MEET ANYONE IN PERSON FROM HERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHAT IS ON OUR MINDS WITH OUT BEING JUDGED FOR IT.

    Unfortunately no matter how much we want you ... you cant make someone do anything. They are adults, and will make their own decisions... in their own time. You can be a great role model and an inspiration and maybe they will come around... and maybe they wont. But you have to decide to do this for you ...

    Now about the friends... suprisingly enough, complete strangers who post on your profile and on your comments are very, very motivating... and after a while, they arent strangers anymore... they are true friends...

    So find someone people who have interests that you do, maybe successful people, maybe people in your same boat. Maybe you want to find people who are struggling because you want to be a role model..

    Good luck!:)
