Have been dieting for a while. It would be nice
to have friends. Is my age against me?

    why should your age be against you?

    My goodness, you are a mere youngster

    Just a few pointers i'll give you out

    -Put up a picture on your profile. Doesn't have to be yours, but anything besides the default pic. The default pic turns most people off and makes them think you're not taking this seriously, which obviously is far from truth given your success

    - Put some stuff into your profile in the about me section etc

    - Don't be afraid to send out Friend Requests. Check out the introduce yourself section and see if there are people who, like you, need friends and you guys should be friends

    Good luck and congrats on your weight loss so far!

    It would probably help tremendously if you filled out your profile. I want to know something about someone before we become friends. What are your interests,goals, likes,dis-likes etc. Tell us something about yourself. I don't approach total strangers and ask them to become friends. I develop friends because we have mutual interests.

    Open up a bit and I am sure you will start to see more people on here opening up to you.

    Its certainly not your age. I am the same age as you. It seems to me that there are plenty of lovely people on MFP who are happy
    to be freinds with anyone who needs them. you may add me if you like. :happy:
