    I introduced a real life friend to MFP.

    I plan on meeting another one within the next 4-6 weeks, so excited.

    within the next few years I would love to travel around the states and meet my closest MFP pals have a bite, a drink, and a workout together with each of them

    2 of them as a matter of fact. The first one I live and love with. The second is someone we convinced to join us on our adventure.

    Yes, I had some friends on here I already knew before however I met one person, I didn't know before it went well. I got to help her through her time of losing her son to cancer he was 12 years old. It was hard but I wouldn't have missed that time. We are still friends.

    the person who recommended MFP to me... pretty sure after being on a course with him for 10 months that would count
    Other friends of mine that also use MFP
    And bizarrely some random at a seminar who (when I commented about having to find mini-cupcakes in MFP) told me she used it too!

    What has surprised me is how many people I know who have been using it for yonks!

    Not yet but a group of us are meeting up at the end of the month! 2 of the girls (who were already friends before MFP) are coming over from Holland and we're all spending a weekend together. Shopping, cocktails and general fun times are planned!! Cant wait! xx

    Not someone I only met on here. I've spoken to many people outside of here, but never met.

    Yes I met one person. He lives 3 hours from me and we met halfway, had supper together and drinks with the locals. It wad a great time. We'be tried meeting up for a since for a cycling ride, but the weather never worked out for us. I hope to meet more this next Saturday considering I'm trying to organize a fall hike with members of the Minnesota group I belong to..

    There's a certain someone I'm desperate to meet, but it's never that simple, we WILL meet one day and we both know it will be perfect. :heart: (MLWP) :heart:

    Yes! :bigsmile: 3 lovely ladies up in Manchester and one lovely lady in Cambridge. Would love to make it a regular occurrence but it's pinning folks down to a date and then a time and place.

    I would like to find someone that lives near me to help hold me accountable about going to the gym.

    Yep! It's nice stepping out from behind the computer to meet in person, especially at a fitness event. You know you both worked hard to get there so it takes the support element to a new level. Pretty awesome.

    I have met two who live in my state but Im coming to America (from Australia) in February for the sole purpose of meeting my friends. I am hoping to catch up with about 12 or so!! Cant wait.

    <
    is on the list!!!

    So excited to meet another MFPer :)

    I've met one other on purpose, but I did see a few MFP people out in public, just wasn't able to make it through the crowds to say hi or they were way ahead of me on the track.

    I have met two MFP connections...

    One was not by choice as the connection found out where I worked, showed up at my ICU nurse's station looking right at me and asked if I was working...:noway: .very odd....so I responded to that situation and have since disconnected and life moves on...until 2 weeks ago I got a PM from him about Garlic and how he would love to follow me around....Say waaaaaaaaa? He be blocked now and I am in hopes he stays away from my ICU or I may have to Karatee Kick him....Just sayin'

    Anyhow...I just met another MFP connection this past Friday for Happy Hour and we had a blast! So much laughs and good times...

    We have a group planning a Vegas Trip in May which will make for great times....I would love to continue to meet my connections as some I have developed strong friendships with...:bigsmile:
