    Hi,

    I know that we dont know each other, however I find it sad that you feel like you are not getting the support you want through this app.
    I tend to only add my friends to this, so I dont actually have a lot of people on MFP... however if you like, more than happy to add you to my contacts and I will do my best to offer support and vice versa?

    Thanks,
    Nikki

    Ok so i joined MFP to get support and support others in their weight loss/fitness goals. My problem? I hardly ever get any support! I post my workouts, what im eating, when im having a good/bad day...all that jaz. Only one or two people will post back to me ever. I mean i dont want a bunch of people who could care less to be posting back "good job" every time. But a little support would be nice. Down my whole page my posts are the only ones that go without comment. Every other friend is getting their support why not me? :frown:

    I honestly feel like i could post i sat on my a** all week and ate nothing but McDonalds and no one would even notice. Very unmotivating. Sorry for complaining, I just wanted to see if anyone else was haiving this issue.

    You need to get some new friends!

    Hey there you have to be active with others and write to them so that they recognise you and want to comment on your stuff. Also posting in the boards helps and adding others.
    ALL THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^

    Yep!!

Im sorry. now that my list is smaller ill add ya again. its been a roller coaster here since i posted!

    o.O same here...

    I was admittedly NOT active for a day or so after adding, as I was taking care of my sis and didn't get a chance to log everything, so I suppose that might account for the chop. Alas.

    Best of luck regardless thickandthin xo

    p.s. not 60, diary open, etc... lol

    I think some people tend to concentrate on their own dieting problems. They expect others to support and sympathise but don't give back in return.

    We are all here for the same reason - we want to lose weight.

    Therefore, we need to be supportive of each other - whether our own efforts are going well or we are struggling to keep going.
