in Introduce Yourself
I've noticed that, like many social websites, there are a lot of people on here who are negative or totally quiet and don't really offer support. I feel like I'm a pretty good "friend" on here when it comes to commenting on people's statuses when they get exercise in, have a good day, need encouragement, etc., but not everyone on here is like that. I have weeded out quite a few friends lately due to this, and have held on to all the good ones, but my friends list is quite diminished and I like feeling the support from my fellow MPF-ers. If you are motivated and like offering support to others, as well as looking for friends who will do the same, feel free to add me! I am not worried about how little or much people have to lose, I am in this for the long haul, even after I meet my goal weight.

    Please feel free to add me. I am not new new to MFP, but starting over. I had problems in the past with being supportive to my MFP's, but getting no support back. We all need encouragement. good luck on your weight loss journey.

    I enjoyed reading your post. I have been using MFP on my phone for a long time and only in the last few weeks started using it on my computer. I'm just starting to find EVERYTHING that it has to offer! I think this support system of people who are ALL doing the same thing is pretty awesome!

    Don't worry there are a lot of positive people out there, with losing weight and changing your lifestyle you will get a lot of positive reactions, you may even inspire someone else. This community is great!

    Me too.... i'm dieting but training for a half marathon..... I feel overweight (I want to lose a stone) but of course the system keeps telling me to up my calories..... i just can't fit that many calories in the day! Happy to be added as a friend to anyone on here who wants some support xx

    I understand how you feel. All those little pats on the back and high fives help us stay motivated.

    I know exactly what you mean! Support makes a HUGE difference - even if it comes from relatively unknown people. LOL Just knowing that someone cares that you got on the treadmill or lost a pound can make you feel great and motivated! I am always looking for encouraging people that are commited and supportive... anyone that fits that criteria please feel free to add me!
