Do friends help?

I do well to take time to update my blog and track my food and exercise, but I think having someone to gently push you couldn't hurt. I can't decide if I need a coach or a cheerleader ... maybe I just need a friend. It looks like most people are here are pretty young. Good for you for taking care of your health while you're young. However, if there is anyone that older looking for a friend ... I'm a young acting 62 year old. Just look at my pic, I'm jumping rope!!!!

Friends help me a lot. It's nice to get encouragement and support, and give it too. It helps to see people going through the same struggles and how they overcome them. i have friends in 3 countries. The differences in life styles, cultures, beliefs and knowledge. can be enlightening. We all learn from each other. It becomes a matter of wanting to do well for the 'team'. We laugh, we whine. We cal each other out when necessary. And give high fives for successes. I have found quite a few people. men and women. in our age bracket. And a lot of them feel like long time friends. We talk about so much more than just MFP stuff. We share our lives. And we're all pretty much here for the same reasons. I would say YES friends help! friend me if you like!

I did MFP w/o friends, now this time with friends. I think it is a big help. I enjoy writing on my friends posts, as much as I enjoy reading what they have written. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

I think friends help especially positive ones who have a similar goal (mine is to be healthy); I have a few on here and we motivate each other. Feel free to add me.

Friends are great support on here!! Hopefully I'll have more sooner or later. The more the better to motivate.
