Dating on MFP??

Breckgirl

I was wondering if MFP offered a dating posting catagorie would anyone here sign up? After all, they say it's easier to lose weight when you have someone to lose with! How about it? Any takers?

Wow, at first thought I think that would be a phenomenal idea! Someone who knows what you are going through and you two can support each other without sabotaging the other. I would be curious if anyone would have any hesitations? I would be in!

There are 6 of us girls in this office that all signed up with MFP at the same time, we are doing a mini 'The Biggest Loser', and it REALLY works having friends that encourage you along the way. I have had a bad couple of weeks and if it was not for the girls here encouraging me I would have done the same old thing and let the weight I have lost since Christmas drift back on, but you know all it takes is a few encouraging words, and I am right back on track, lost the 2lbs I had gained back and a half a pound more. Thanks ladies, and good luck to everyone in the same boat!

I am single... Just throwin' it out there to all the ladies in the bay area :P

I am sure it would be possible!
But I think the males are far, far outnumbered by females on here (maybe I am wrong?)

Lol since I don't seem to be having much luck in general when it comes to the guys!!! Ugh! :-P Single and lookin here! :-) I agree though I think there are far more women on this site than men....

And that's a problem because...???

So I feel like I've got better odds cause I'm a single male (29 if anyone's interested), but then I feel like I've got worse odds cause I'm in Australia.

I'm strictly talking about numbers here... no disrespect to any Aussie girls (or girls living in Aus)!!!

Probably have to change the basic format of dating. Maybe we could skip the going out to dinner and make it a more healthy endeavor?

No way you are single cmon

True, so true...but if one guy and one gal found each other , wouldn't that make it worth it? I'm a hopeless romantic.

I've been out of the dating seen so long I don't even know how it works anymore. lol. Don't know if online is the answer.....

Maybe that means we have quality not quantity! LOL

I think it is a great idea. I agree there are many more women on here but you never know...

T_R_A_V

Haha...most guys wont complain about being outnumbered I promise...I know that I wont...

Kityngirl

I think the hardest part would be finding someone that was anywhere near where you lived...

toots99

I think it's a good idea!

Any guys near Dallas/Fort Worth, hit me up! :drinker:

I think I read somewhere that the Biggest Loser was the reality show with the most 'hook ups' that have lasted. Makes sense - they aren't dating the people for just their looks - they're falling in love with the inside while working on the outside. I think its a great idea.

ETA - I need to start remembering things...I say "I think I read somewhere" far too often. :noway:

nolachick

hmmm this is interesting....

and you're right, you would not be dating ppl based on their looks, and you will be going thru the same things with a change of lifestyle and all.

I wonder... when you're working so hard to improve yourself is that really the right time to attempt focusing time and energy on a relationship as well?

ericac

Well let me just throw my 2 cents worth in here.....Yes it does work....I'm in the best relationship in my life and we met on here!........totally by accident....:smooched:

I'm sure there's women willing to move to Aussieland! LOL

NOW CUT THAT OUT!!!! OMG! LOL

If you build it they will come.....and those who come may not be the ones we want here. Just a thought to ponder! Maybe just a singles thread would work best. There are people out there that like big people and this would be the perfect place to find us! I have done online dating and there are some serious sickos! This is a safe haven for us to support our weight loss, I don't think this would be a good mix. But I think a thread for singles would be good and you never know what connections could be made.

I was thinking of more like a catagory like, they have fitness, recipes, support...singles!
