Seeking members to keep me in check!

in Introduce Yourself
When I first started using MFP about 18 months ago I had a set of members/friends who commented on every little update I made, and I found it extremely motivating. Having members to keep me in check resulted in me reaching my target weight very quickly and I was able to maintain it for quite some time.
Eventually the "motivators" dropped off and then my usage of this valuable tool did as well.. couple that with recent knee surgery and the time frame leading up to and after the surgery, not having the ability to be active, caused a lot of stress and boredom eating.

Now I'm on the mend and May 1st marks my official re-starting date! I would thoroughly appreciate some motivators to help me by commenting on my progress and activities, and I tend to do the same in return!

Thanks MFP, I know I can do it again.

    You can add me. I'm new here today, used to use Fitday but want to try something different. Not sure I want to pay for WW so thought I'd try this. Good luck!

    I'm addicted to MFP so needless to say I'm always on here. Literally all through out the day no matter where I am or what I'm doing. I try to motivate my friends as much as I motivate myself so add me if you'd like. :) Good luck on your journey you can do it!

    Feel free to add me (that goes for anyone else on this thread, too)!!!! I had a life event in January and stopped doing things on MFP, but I'm newly back (and using today as my official re-boot day, too!) and am looking for the same thing - friends who are positive supporters and are online and comment often. :flowerforyou:

    I'm like you - looking for a few friends to help keep me motivated (:

    I used calorie count before, but am new to using MFP. I am trying to pick up in my activity, too. Every winter it drops off quite a bit. Now that the summer is fast approaching, I need to get out n move!

    Anywho, I'd like a few people to add me too!
