in Motivation and Support
I am looking for some new friends in MFP. I only have a handful now and after several months on here I'm noticing I'd like more support. That is one of the reasons I originally joined this site. I am a big social networking junkie and am used to communicating a lot online. If you use MFP also for support and making friends, send me a message. We can do this together!

    If you sent me a message in your FR, I didn't realize I couldn't reply directly and once you accept, it disappears. Sorry if I didn't catch it!

    Hi, there are some lovely people on here and some not so lovely ones. as with all social networking, I personally find it to be more of a popularity contest than any kind of genuine support or friendship medium.
    I think if you want real friends you need to develop them in the real world... you might find a couple on here but don't hold out for a truck load. As far as weight loss is concerned you need to be your own best friend, your own motivator and your own greatest support... nobody else can you give you that... you're expecting too much... it's like expecting someone else to complete you or make you happy

    You wanna lose weight? do it

    What? I have been pretty successful, thanks. I am simply looking for people that actually comment on posts on here when I occasionally post about a tough day. I mean that is the point of the community.
