in Introduce Yourself
I've been on MFP for a long time. I'm looking for those that actually support workouts, bad days, good days, etc. I don't want friend collectors or someone who's going to sit on my list and lurk. Any takers??

    I'll be honest, I don't really need or use the Friends feature of this site. The forums provide plenty of discussion and interaction and I don't need cheerleaders to stay fit or workout. I'm really here for the tools and information and forum exchanges (the forum is excellent for the most part).

    I'm not friends averse and if I meet a like-minded individual, I might add them but like you point out, I don't need to collect a bunch of avatar icons that don't serve any purpose.

    I'd be interested to hear why people seek "friends" here and what they expect these friends to do. Do people just "collect" friends, and what does that do?

    I do my best at being supportive. Some days are better than others. Friend me if u like (i'm at boy scout camp w/ my lil one this weekend) so no comments likely this weekend but after. I too need some supportive friends. It sure makes a difference

    Having MFP friends is like gardening. There is constant weeding, which can be work...

    The end result: I have a nice small group of friends that are quite supportive and we are in tune with each other's habits.

    I comment on workouts all the time but I'm more interested in the crazy people on my friend list that say random vulgar things to me...They are the ones who keep me coming back everyday!

    I have pretty good network here - most people provide motivation, support, encouragement. Like another poster mentioned, the 'friends' take occassional weeding out. Feel free to friend me if you'd like!

    I've been doing MFP now for 2 weeks, and I do agree with you, I hardly get anyone comment or support, I'm so frustrated because I've lost like 2 pounds in 2 weeks and NO one has even commented on what I should do, why this is happening or anything...well I write a status NO one ever leaves anything, but yet I do have some "Friends", so yeah I'm right up there with you, what is the purpose of this site if NO one is going to really care, I can count calories on a piece of paper....Mind you I'm getting about sick and tired of counting calories if I'm NOT going to lose anything......why freakin bother?????????????

    First off I' m not the type to comment on a person completing their diary, I don' t comment on everyday status. I probably won’t say the nicest things. But for the few friends I have -or will have- I will care about their challenges, applaud unusual achievements, and give my input when asked.

    Check my profile and feel free to add me if you think we have things in common and could mutually support each other.
