in Motivation and Support
I started MFP 6 weeks ago and I have been giving it my all logging everyday and supporting others when I can. Problem is all the people I've added on here seem to not be as determined as I am.

So now my list is full of non-loggers and on again off again people.


I'm looking for dedicated people who i can support and will support me.

if that sounds like you please add me

Thank you

    How do you define "dedicated'? Does falling off the wagon but logging it count? Fighting the good fight, even if I lose occasionally? If so, I'd love to add you. I could use the support of someone dedicated, and someone who will nudge me when I need it, and call me on it if I miss a day without a decent reason.

    Anyone can add me too.

    I tend to get on in the mornings and in the evenings after of work.

    I could always use more support and motivation.

    My friends list is a wide variety of people, from those pursuing bodybuilding like me to those who are still struggling with understanding macro ratios :) ALL good people. ALL I can learn something from. I think of myself as pretty dedicated. I don't log my food anymore and I don't count calories anymore. That part of this site completely killed my motivation to lose weight, just way too tedious for such slow payoff. But that's me. I follow my trainer's nutrition plan now and I love having stability in my diet and a routine that I can count on on a daily basis without feeling deprived (or counting calories! although, I still weigh everything). Would love to be MFP friends!

    Hey Bry-

    I am 3 weeks in, so my ticker is still unimpressive. But it is getting a little more impressive each week. I friend rec'd you if you want. I am not quitting, and not failing to log.

    You want a pacer? I am here. To that end, enable your ticker to be visible on your posts. That's a motivating thing, too!

    And how do you enable your ticker?

    I delete people daily from my list.. If I get that "so and so has not logged in for 3 days message" I delete that person. In my defense.. rarely did I add you in the first place. LOL Oh.. and I'm not really a fan of constant whiners. :)

    Honestly I just delete the people that don't log in after a few days (unless I like them). I sometimes try to stay away from new people because they tend to disappear after a while.

    Maybe you added the wrong kinds of people? Do you need motivation with fitness? Weight loss? Both?
    Once you find the folks who have similar goals, the motivation will be second nature.

    Thanks everyone!

    And how do you enable your ticker?

    Tools > Weight Loss Tickers > Create Ticker. It's fairly self explanatory from thereon in :)

    Keep in mind the first six weeks are often some of the best--you're motivated, getting great results, and on a "high." Don't shoot yourself in the foot by filing your list with people who will drop you if you have an off period. :flowerforyou: Hope you don't have that though--sincerely!

    I log on every day and track my food and exercise honestly. I'd love to add you and anyone else who wants/needs people who are dedicated.
