    Feel free to add me if you want. I used to think I could do it alone too but found out it is so much easier with a group of people to support you and give you advice. I am on daily and will help you on your journey.

    Sent you a friend request!!! And anyone else feel free to add me as well! You can never have too many friends on here to motivate and support each other... Once I started adding friends it made such a HUGE difference for me! They motivate and support me way more than I ever thought possible!

    I am totally with you. Sometimes it seems like the majority of people on here don't want support or to offer support, they just want to be condescending and rude because they're farther along than the people who are actively seeking support.

    You can add me and we'll help one another!

    Also know that if you don't log in for a few days (heaven forbid you go on vacation or worse, try something new, people on here will delete you from their friends list without even first sending a message to see if you're ok, need motivation or support. They'll just delete you and that will be that.

    Feel free to add me. I'll not delete you without first asking if you need help. :flowerforyou:

    Feel free to add me. I try to motivate and appreciate the motivation from others. I have been here for 6 weeks and lost about 10 pounds. I have at least 20 pound more to go. I am a working mom with 2 boys and have trouble keeping motivated, but love MFP. Good luck on your journey!

    You go to the find friends tab and follow the tabs to find people that have the same goals as you. It is a great way to help each other out. You can add me as a friend I check in aboout 3 times a day and try to always be positive. Have a Blessed Journey

    I've been on MFP since April of this year and nobody's ever sent me a friend request. And I'm totally OK with that.

    Every single person that's part of my Friends List has at one time posted something on a forum that I found interesting or noteworthy. I then sent them a friend request with a short message, usually something along the lines of how I liked what they had to say and how I'd appreciate their adding me as a friend. Boom...my request is accepted.

    When someone posts a message like "How Do I Make Friends," or "Friends Needed" that usually results in their getting several requests or several on here telling you to send a request their way. That's all good -- the MFP community is pretty awesome that way. But if you want to create a network, you have to work a little at building one.

    Good luck!

    You can add me, too. I just signed up yesterday, and I'm still stumbling around trying to get familiar with everything the site has to offer. It can be overwhelming, but we're all here for the same reason. We can do this!

    Hi Janna,

    I was wondering the same thing. I'm a (older) newbie and would love to add you as one of my friends so we can keep in touch and help each other along the way. soyasee

    Janna, another way to connect with like minded people is to look through the groups. Look for your age group, or exercise goals, for example. It takes awhile, but having those people you connect with on a daily basis makes a huge difference. It'll give you some recognition when you have successes, give you ideas for food, exercise, and strategies and if necessary give you a little push if you want one. Keep logging in. This really does work!

    Anyone who wants to add me can add me as well. I like giving support and motivation and receiving it as well. I try to keep up on my blog and my friends can see my food logs as well. Working your way through the forums is the best way to make friends and even searching groups too. Good luck :)

    I feel the exact same way. I've been alone trying to lose weight (roller-coaster style) - nobody to talk to when I'm in a rut or doing good, or whatever... And, I'd also like to find some friends, find some support, find people who can relate.
