Disappointed

You can add me if you like. I have only been here a little over a week and have found some great supportive friends, but I have one in particular that seems to post a lot of stuff about herself and gets lots of support and encouragement but I have never seen a comment on my page from her. I will do a cull in a couple of weeks. Support is mutual, we are all here to help each other, it's give and take, not just take.

You can also add me. I just joined 4 days ago and I only have one friend. I like you need the motivation. So we can help each other. Losing weight is hard to do so we need all the help we can get. :happy:

Just keep going, you find a nice little group eventually.

What happens when our friends lists get to around a hundred for example? No way you can be there for everyone. I think I'll set a lowish limit to how many I have.

feel free to add..I do say aww thats really good ! but timezones could be interesting, don't know where you're at x

Don't be dissapointed, you'll find the right people! Add me if you like, I'm new too. Enjoy your Saturday

Disappointment happens it is a part of life. It is how you react to it that will guarantee your success.

Feel free to add if you like... or anyone for that matter.

Hiya:) Im on every day and would love to help motivate you and expect nothing but the same:) We can all use that lil bit of extra support. Add me add me....ANYONE:)

I dont give out "wtg" or "good job". Like....ever. however, i kick major *kitten* when you lag and i check in if i havent heard from you. im not a handholder, ill drag you or push you though

You can add me if you like. I always look through diaries. I don't ALWAYS comment, but I try to.
I could also use the added support.

I'm always open to new friends

Feel free to add me. I try to motivate friends but also do not comment on every post they make. I usually pick 5-10 friend each day to reply to & then rotate to other friends the following day! Some people do not motivate at all. Sometimes it takes you to reach out first...they will then return the favor! Keep at it & don't give up. Eventually you will find a good group!

So this is my 5th day on MFP and so far I have 19 friends and when I added those 19 ppl I thought they were going to help motivate me and only about 4 do. I mean is it to much to ask for a good job or wtg...I know some have a lot of friends and I probably get lost or some just don't like to post but I take my time to go through and comment on everyone. I guess I just need to delete those who don't help motivate me. I don't want to be he person on mfp with the most friends I just want the ones who are like me and need that help and motivation. Only my 5th day and have to start over just disappointing. Just wanting to vent thanks

I get a lot of friend requests and it's grown. But I'm glad no one expects me to perform. Some days it's all I can do to login and log my calories. Other days I have time to float through and encourage people but no way can I respond to everyone. They encourage me when they can and I do the same when I can. We all do our best. We all get busy sometimes. It's great to have support and I'm all for it, but also at some point you need to be your own motivation, from within yourself, that is where the true power comes from. There will be times when no one is around and you have to do it for yourself.

"tons of people here"... no pun intended.

I find that I have added friends in the past and then got too many so i couldn't keep track of everyone's posts. I found that a bit overwhelming and I found that I could not keep up with posting and I think I got lost on their wall as well as I stopped getting a comments as well. Life gets busy and if you are not on a lot, or just to add your food and then at the beg/end of day, it can be hard to keep track of what happened during the day. If there was a "like" button it would make it a lot easier as at least you could just press a button to let someone know you saw their post, if nothing else.

I think you might want to consider adding friends slowly. Get to know them and give support to each other. If you and the new friend are communicating in a way that works for both of you, then add another. This way you get to know the times they log in or are online and can make sure that you are helping each other.

I only have one friend right now, that I know personally. I find that I could use a few more, but that's all I have time for.

Anyways, that's my two cents.

Everyone likes a pat on the back at times, not all of us have the time during our hectic schedules to wtg, good job every time someone on our friends list stays below calories or does some exercise. I only post on the times someone actually asks for help or posts an NSV that is important to them. I don't expect anyone to GET me to my goals by holding my hand, telling me good job for staying within my calories and exercising everyday. When I post an important milestone for me, my friends are there to congratulate me, likewise if I am down they always let me know today is not the end of the world, there is always tomorrow. I treat them with the same respect. If you are looking for a massive number of daily pats on the back, add more friends.
