    Some people have 100-300 friends. There is no way they could be too supportive. Try to add friends with small FL. :flowerforyou:

    See I was gonna FR you...I can't now. I am definitely NOT supportive.
    (well unless you count a daily laugh that keeps you going a little longer)
    (or when you're down I tell you you have meaning)
    Other than that no I don't hold your hand and cheer over your exercise and diet.
    But you will check back on MFP, so to me that is motivation.
    Arrogance no just a fact.

    I'm kinda confused. Was that directed to me? I personally don't care how many friends MY friends have on their list. I was just giving OP a suggestion for HER situation. :flowerforyou:

    :love: :love: :flowerforyou: :love: :love: :heart: :love: :love: :flowerforyou: :love: :love:
    I understood what you meant to her.
    Just explaining how I am on here.
    She needs the pat on the back daily. That is just not me.
    PS
    Seen you on here a bit..like your sense of humor:drinker:

    Oh good. I understand now. :) Sometimes I feel like I'm not supportive enough but I do try. I figure if I'm not, they'll just delete me. :drinker:

    I'm newish, and I friended a few people. The posts that come across are things like, "so and so has logged in for x days in a row", or "so and so was under their calorie goal". When I posted that I was excited to be under 300 for the first time in years, no one responded. I felt gypped, and wondered why I had signed up to be friends with them. The logs are so cluttered with the nonsense, I can't see when someone actually writes a post.

    I turned off a lot of my notifications for this reason; it seemed a little unfair to clutter people's pages and get mad when no one commented. So, all people see is weight loss and log in notifications in addition to whatever I post myself. I've gotten more comments on the stuff that matters now. :)

    That said- OP: if you're not getting the support from the people you're supporting, do a cull and get different people. :)
