How many friends do you have?

I was just wondering how many friends you guys have on MFP before you feel like you have a strong support 'community'. I have 25 and although most of them are great it often feels a bit quiet, especially recently. Has anybody else noticed that? Maybe it's just me I did appear to lose a couple over the new year, maybe I'm just a bit too quiet myself! Just thought I'd throw the question out there, really. Perhaps I should just make more of an effort to comment on people's statuses. Although I do kind of feel like the 'good job's are always that sincere, especially when I've had a really poor day in terms of healthy eating and it's like my diary hasn't even been looked at! Anyway I'm ranting. Sorry. :)

Incidentally, if anybody wants to be my friend I'm looking to expand my support network :)

    I have only one on MFP and it's my husband, and it's the biggest support I need. If one is eating good and the other is eating horribly, it's wayyyy to much temptation for the other when looking in the fridge and cabinets. Doing this together has made it so much easier.

    I have no friends on this site. I just started posting rather than just using the app on my iPod c:

    I don't think it really matters 'how many' *friends* you have. I have around 15, and get a few 'way to go' or 'good job' here and there. I imagine if they have lots of friends, my comments get buried, and they don't see them, so they can't comment.

    Or maybe I have the wrong friends. Anywho, it's hard to connect with people on a personal basis, so it's difficult to be supportive.

    Quality outweighs quantity. Ask any corner worker

    I threw up in my mouth a little over one of the above comments.
    Not quoting it or it would be "mean"

    If it was mine, please let me explain that my comment was meant to be funny!
