in Introduce Yourself
I've been on here a few months, and I have some wonderful, supportive friends here. However, I have found that a lot of people here worry about hurting one's feelings, or crossing the line.

I could really use a couple of friends that will be supportive, but also call me out on days that I make terrible choices. I know I'm an adult and I make those choices, but I like people that are honest. It's great to hear encouragement, but it doesn't hurt to have someone that will give a little nudge when they see that you've lost your way. I need someone to help hold me accountable.

I'm not even close to perfect, but "great job" doesn't cut it when I've stayed under my calories, but half of them were Girl Scout Cookies.......does that make sense to anyone?

** I do think all of my current friends are fantastic, though, and I greatly appreciate all of the support you give me!! :smile:

    I'm 27, from the UK, have the macros 35% protein, 35% carbs and 30% fat. If you think we have similar goals and id be a good match friend me!

    I hate when people do that! They're saying great job and I'm just thinking, did you even look? Because I know that that was not a great job. On the other hand, whilst I am brutally honest and would tell someone, I tend not to because I think it's a bit hypocritical of me to be criticising someone else's diary when I know mine is hit and miss. So I can do that if you want, but I just know if it was me and it was someone who was less than perfect criticising me I would call them on it and the whole effort would be wasted. So if you don't mind a hypocrite calling you out on bad food choices then sure, add me :-). Lol.

    I agree. A kick of honesty shouldn't hurt anyone. We are all in the same battle on here. I'll add you :)

    You can add me if you would like... I will give you positive feedback when you have earned it, but will kick your (virtual) *kitten* when you need it.. I don't have room for hurt feelings on this journey...

    So nice to see that there are still a few adults around here that are not afraid of some "unpolished" and direct words.... So, add me if you want.

    HI Jenn ...I could definitely use the same thing. I'm actually new on here. Just started my 2nd week. I didn't realize we could have a community blog! I think this is great. It'd be great to get to know some other people who are being health conscious and hopefully swap some healthy recipes and exercises.

    As for being honest, I would love for someone to tell me I made a horrible choice for eating chips on a day I didn't work out! I would definitely do the same for others. Is there a way to have a "friends" list on here? I'm not really sure how all this works yet.

    Anyways, I hope this opens up the door to meeting great, supportive people!

    I totally agre! I see some of my friends eating all sorts of crap and I try to comment on that while other people are saying good job for being under calories....Hello? they just ate Mcdonalds for breakfast and lunch how is that a good job? Same thing goes for under eating. Add me if you'd like and anyone else that wants the same.

    It also occurs to me that perhaps you should be seeking both brutally honest and vaguely competent at safe and effective weight loss.
