Hello everyone,

Just joined, not really sure what I'm meant to do - is this like facebook?

Am I meant to have friends on here? Haha!

    Haha! How am I supposed to make friends on here?
  • Introducing yourself here is a good start! That's how I did it. I've only been here a little more than a month and now have over 60 friends.

    It is a lot like FB. You can update your "status", you have a newsfeed, and you can send messages to your friends. You also have a profile and you have the ability to blog... so more like myspace/FB combo in a fitness world? And if you're brave enough, you can visit the many forums here and post away. You might learn something or you might just end up being confused. LOL BUT take everything like a grain of salt. If you do post in the forums, you are likely to get a ton of advice and half of it will contradict. Do your own research. Have tough skin, and you'll be fine. ;) OR you can just hang out with your friends in your own little area... I think there are groups you can join, too. I'm in Single Peeps group, but I don't think they know it yet. :)

    Anyway, MFP is a GREAT place. I am now addicted and spend way more time here than I do FB currently. You can meet lots of great people to help keep you motivated and encouraged. And you can spread your sunshine around, too.

    I will send you a friend request... in case you haven't seen what that looks like. I'm generally an encourager. But if you want to friend request someone, you click on their name, go to their profile, and click add friend.
