in Introduce Yourself
I've logged on for 80 days and I've been reading the forums but I've never dared write a post...too English and embarassed I think! MFP has been great for me, I've lost 25 lbs since November and now I think I want to go further, how do you make friends? I'm 44 and I eat 1800 ish a day. I run 3-4 times a week, I go to the gym once a week and try and do yoga once as well. I'm really pleased with my weight loss and how much fitter I've got (I know it's really obvious but I never realised that the lighter you go the faster you can run) but I've still got a really big bum and I want to get rid of it!

    Usually people upload naked pictures of themselves onto the forums and wait for the requests.

    Hey there. Congrats on your success thus far. :)

    Making friends is as easy as asking for them and you just did that. It was nice to see you write a bit about yourself so we 'know' where you're at in your journey. Definitely feel free to add me.

    I'm a 35 yr old stay at home mom/wife. I have lost 24lbs and 30 inches since December. I am nearly 1/2 way to my goal which I'm thinking will be around 125 but what I'm really pushing for is 15-20% body fat as my MAIN goal.

    I run 4x a week, resistance train 3x, yoga 2x and sometimes throw a spin class in there. When we get above freezing consistently here in balmy MN I'll start road biking as well. I am NOT a natural athelete but I love the way moving my body makes me feel - full of energy and mentally and emotionally clear.

    Hope to see you on my feed. :)

    Please feel free to add me. I do Zumba at the gym,4 times a week also from home, I also do walking CD's. I have lost 109lbs and have 65-70more to go. I encourge my friends because of 1) all the encourgement i got when I first started amd 2)it just comes second nature to me.
    Would to be your friend, Terri

    The best method actually doesn't require posting. The best way is too lurk around the forums and learn from other folks. See who the more knowledgeable folks are. See who show PEER-REVIEWED (not cosmopolitan or other magazine backed) reseach to back their claims. Try to add them. While these folks might not be the most interactive as far as commenting to your statuses goes, they will help you if you whisper them with questions and will regularly post good info that you can learn from. That is how you build a good, solid foundation imho
