in Motivation and Support
I am saddened by the whole, "motivate yourself, don't add me as a friend because it's on you" attitude around here. The friends I have are AWESOME! I love the few MFPs I do have. I'm afraid to add ppl so if you're friendly and need a little extra motivation or someone to share your accomplishments with, that's me. Feel free to add me.

:)

    Yeah. You'll find ****s everywhere you look. But there aren't always people like that.

    What, people are like that on here?

    Anyone who acts like that needs to pull the stick out of their *kitten*.

    I agree with you...unsupportive and mean people like that should keep to themselves. Supportive people rock!

    It is on you, you make the choices for yourself. Why do you need a cheerleader?

    I know how you feel some days!!! It's ok!! feel free to add me. I actually like to communicate with people via MFp though and vice versa, ;-) not just add people for the sake of adding people, you know!? Good luck!!

    inspiration is different from motivation. motivation comes from within.

    I don't... You missed the point of the thread. I enjoy FRIENDLY people! I don't need a cheerleader as I am not a FOOTBALL TEAM!

    I agaree there some just plain mean people on MFP, they are not here to support but to brag. on the other hand. I have awesome and supportive friends and I love them. feel free to add me. I love to help motivate and inspire others and I love people who do the same for me. whether it is encouraging me to do that last set of push ups I don't want to do or helping me not freak out over a scale that won't budge after I have worked so hard. .

    I have not run into the MEAN people here yet. I have a small group of friends here who cheer me on and who I cheer on daily. I HAD to initially make the final decision to lose this weight, no one could do that for me. Maybe that is what they meant by "It's On You" although I could be wrong. At any rate, you can add me as your friend and I will support you 100%!

    No one needs a cheerleader, but it's good to have a support system and a little sympathy.

    I'm sorry you're getting these replies from people. Dieting is not a trivial thing, and the support I've had has really made the difference. Be indifferent to these selfish people and keep looking for the supportive people.

    Thanks to everyone that wasn't a a**hole! :) I enjoy talking and swapping stories with ppl here. Not looking for a "cheerleader" (smart as*) but I'm just a people person. They're definitely more nice ppl here than not... :)

    Thank you for proving the OP's point....Some ppl are just mean and unsupportive for no reason...maybe it makes them feel better about themselves, who knows?

    You are free to add me, I will be there for you!

    People are getting meaner. I saw someone use the word "hangry". I think that explains everything! Don't let the "meaners" (meaner than the rest of us) get you down!

    Don't really understand people being like that on here. This is a site to not only log your food and exercise but a HUGE role is to find amazing supportive friends. So that comment is just stupid.

    People are just plain oversensitive.....I mean really......Nobody on here is going to motivate you if you can't motivate yourself. My friends keep me coming back but because I enjoy the banter/conversations with them and some are inspirational. End Rant.

    Please add me. I am also in need of friends. Passing negative around is not what I'm here for. Finding supportive friends can mean all the difference for a lot of us. :flowerforyou:

    I'm not mean at all, just seriuos about doing it for yourself. It is all on the person trying to lose weight. I'm a very suppotive person and a good friend.

    Don't even get me started on the ridiculously rude people on this site!
    There are some good people here... don't get me wrong! But... its sad to say, you come to a fitness site, expecting support, and almost have to fight for it like its your last meal. lol... no joke!
