Looking for IRL weightloss friends.

I have almost no RL (real life) friends where I live, so I was wondering if there's any girls, my age, 18, who live in Bath, UK that want to be a RL motivational weightloss friend?

(Ha, just realised how desperate I sound, but I haven't had a solid group of friends for 2 years & I need some girlfriends to hang out with!)

    You can do a member search -- go to "Find Members" and put in your area to find members who live near you.

    Also, there are UK groups on MFP:

    I did that, but it didn't work, it just came up with people who lived all over the place :|
    & thanks, I'll try the groups.

    It's too bad we're on opposite sides of the world. I have a few good girl friends, but none that I'd actually have real conversations about my weight loss with.

    Yeah, I think we'd be great RL friends :]
    I have one girl friend here, but she's due to give birth tomorrow & I haven't seen her in a few months as she's been so busy & then she'll have the baby to look after.
    I just feel so lonely, like I live with my boyfriend & can talk to him about anything, but having a girl friend to talk to, chill out with & shop with is something I miss. All my old friends from where I used to live are out enjoying themselves whilst I haven't been to a party or anything in two whole years.

    I totally see where you're coming from. I am on the hunt for a girl friend that will be more like a sister. Don't get me wrong, my girls are awesome, but we've known each other since elementary school - things and interests have changed and we've drifted slightly. But I feel I don't go anywhere where I'd be making new friends. Lol, I'm laughing at myself because I feel I sound so pathetic.

    That's exactly what I want! I go to college, but there's only 4 other girls in my class & they're not my type of people.
    Haha yeah, I sound so desperate :laugh: probably because I am really! Lmao.

    I just go from work, to home and that's about it. I really need some extracurricular things to do. I don't even know WHERE I'd meet people and how I'd be like, "Hey, wanna be my friend?" LMAO. Man, elementary school was so much easier when I needed to make friends.

    Same, my life is so boring omg. People probably wouldn't want to be my friend 'cos they'd think I was some crazy nut if I went up to them & asked them that Lmao :laugh: Yeah I wish making friends was as easy as it used to be.

    Yep, before we were worried about being perceived as a crazy nut.
