Hi ya!

I'm not new to MFP, but I do need some new mfp friends. I recently noticed that even though I had over 30 "friends" on here, not one of them bothered to comment on anything I posted in over 2 months. So I've cleaned out that list and would now like to make some new friends who will actually be supportive.

Here's the thing, I am super busy, I recently opened my own business and its very very long hours, 6 days a week. So I don't get to log in every day. I do aim for a few times a week though, and when I do I make it a point to comment and be supportive on posts of my friends. I also always answer personal emails. I'm looking for friends who appreciate busy lives and have busy lives too but would like support.

if you would like a friend who appreciates that you can't necessarily log on every day, but are still working on goals, and try to choose healthy option instead of crazy fad diets or starving yourself then please add me as a friend.

Thank you.

    I too am very busy..a trick I use is to pre log what I think I am going to eat for the next day. Also, I have the MFP app on my phone. That way I can log on from anywhere. Sometimes I log while I am eating. Good Luck

    With my work its usually one on one sessions with clients, so i can't log in even on a phone. They are paying for my undivided attention.

    Its not the logging and the exercise that's a problem, but when i drop some pounds or inches, or have another goal met, and post it, it would be nice if at some point someone acknowledged it. And likewise i would do it for them too and hopefully put a smile on their face.

    I work a full time job and live on a working farm. I try to prelog every morning and get exercise in during lunch/after work when I'm not too busy with something else.

    Everyone needs encouragement, it makes me feel good when the mobile app lets me know someone commented on my status. Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for more support and to be of support!

    I'm a college student who only has time to workout in the morning. I have to get up at 6AM in order to get a good one hour workout. It's not always easy to get up, but it has become a habit for me. I am here to support you and answer any questions you have :)

    Fellow busy folks, feel free to add me. I'm extremely busy...working 50+ hours/week and attending law school in the evenings. I did great last year, but fell off track for a few months (it's crazy what just 3 months off track can do!). Before it all comes back, I'm refocused to get back on track and finish what I've started.

    I am with you; I found that I was the most successful when I had people encouraging me along the way. I am trying to get back into logging every single day and if you add, I'll be sure to offer not only words of encouragement, but I'll have an open food diary and exercise log in case you're looking for new ideas!

    Hello,

    I stay very busy as well and honestly have not made an attempt to make friends yet never say never. I take care of my grandson and my husband is in Afghanistan with the Army. I am on a healthier way of life for myself and he will be surprised to see a smaller wife when he gets home.

    Funny, I just left a comment on another post about dieting with a busy life. Feel free to add me. I log and comment daily, despite being busy. (Yay, for mobile apps making it easier!) I try to answer personal messages as soon as I can.
