edited January 10 in Motivation and Support
Hi I've been a member since July and have had several "friends" however they have not commented regularly even though I would regularly comment and encourage them so today I decided to be brutal and delete these people. So here I am now asking for friends who are prepared to encourage me. If you are willing to encourage me please add me. I will in return comment and encourage you.

    I'm on daily and comment on posts. The mutual encouragement really helps in the battle. Add me if you like.

    I just joined this sight yesterday and would love the support also so please add me. When I lost my job 3 years ago, gained 40 lbs. A friend joined this site and lost 65 lbs so I know it helps.

    I'm looking for the same thing. When these people you have on here aren't doing anything (motivating, supporting, trying themselves to lose weight) there isn't a point really... So i understand. Its not like Facebook, where you have ppl you know on there but don't talk to all the time. I've only been on here for 3 days but I only found one so far and I really enjoy having her as support and am looking for more like her! Feel free to add me :)

    Feel free to add me too. I'm relatively new on here, although not new to eating well and exercising, but the more support, the better I think. So far I only have one friend on this site, but I think we're really clicking. I check in everyday. It really keeps me on track.

    I know what you mean. I did have about 200 friends and about a quarter of them would comment (at least a few times a week). I deleted some friends that I have never heard from or that put messages on their profile page that say something like "If you don't comment on my posts, then I will delete you" but then they never comment themselves.

    I don't expect to see everyone comment everyday as you would have to be on here non stop to keep up with everybody, but once a week or so is not too much to ask.

    I log on every day and comment everyday. I am sure I miss people from time to time due to how many friends I have, but hopefully if I missed them one day, I commented the next day.

    Feel free to add me:) You will see from my profile page, that I have pages and pages of comments to all of my friends. The motivation that I get from them is awesome and I can only hope that I am doing the same for them!
