MFP member meet up
So, I was watching a commercial with Jennifer Hudson talking about weight watchers and the thought occurred to me. Why doesn't MFP have group meetings? I think it's a great idea. Finding people in your area and meet up at like a park or coffee house once a week or something, go over each others progress. Having an online friend is one thing, you can look at a picture and read the text, but a face to face conversation with people struggling to re-take their lives would be a lot more motivating to me. MFP doesn't have to sponsor it and you don't have to buy anything. No big events, just want to meet at the park for an hour or two, go over progress and stories, and see ya next week and bring spouses and kids if you like since that's usually the biggest support group and reason to get healthy.
I personally love the idea. I live in the Loma Linda/ San Berardino CA area if anyone around me is interested.

There are some nude beaches across the border not too far from here. I nominate them for a meet up location.0

Oh hush, Penny Lane. I certainly didn't mean you. Can't be so sure about that Dirty character though.0 -

I snowboard. I don't go as much as I'd like, maybe 5 or 6 times a season.0 -
I only meet the ones I like.0

Ah, cool cool. I suppose you're alright then. Haven't met a snowboarder I haven't liked.0 -

I considered that! But it looked like a lift in the background.0 -
no one ever really reads posts do they? just the title and comment away.0

Yeah, I find the Topic Titles to be lacking a substantial explination for nature of the thread. You need to work on that ; )0 -

Well I read it. But I've never been a huge fan of meetings. I actually dreaded them while on WW. Furthermore, I'm no where near you in terms of location.0 -

I don't think my wife would like me meeting up with the ladies over coffee, and I don't want to meet up with any dudes.
Plus, I like the anonymity of online forums.

Speaking of MFP member meetup... I love your hair.
I appreciate that! Thank you.0 -
Sorry for voicing my opinion. Obviously this thread only acknowledges one side of the discussion.
Good luck with your meet ups.0 -
Oh no...I have replied to too many TMI questions in the forums for me to meet these people face to face. LOL
Seriously, it's an interesting idea, but I believe we are all a little too scattered.0 -
I have seen people on here that actually do meet up with others... it's just you meeting people that actually are in your area... I was gonna meet up with someone one time but never got around to it0

This would be the largest gathering of positive motivating people in history.

I have met some wonderful people through this site. Even flew to England. I don't, however, want to meet many from the public forums. I would rather set my rendezvous up with people I have grown to care about. We come from all over the world after all.0

I've met up with lots of people from MFP. Ya just have to find your little group and set it up. It's really pretty easy to do!0

I'd like to meet up with people in my area. all my friends are 500 miles away from me in my home town and haven't really made any friends here. Tried at the gym, but everyone's in their own world and I don't want to distract them.0

You can search for friends through here that are close to you by location...and go from there.0
