    There's sooo many things I use my friends for... Most of the time they like it too.

    Mfp friends are the main reason I am losing weight successfully! Being accountable to others is major motivation plus having a great group of friends who interact and have chit chat makes it fun :)

    MFP was hella boring before i made friends. also, my diary is open and i know they're looking, and i work better and stay honest with an audience. :)

    It makes it fun! You can motivate people and help them reach their goal and they return the favor and give you additional support.

    I have very few friends on here, just work friends and we talk smack. That's about it.

    Because people are awesome thats why.

    Why do anything alone when you don't have to?

    That's how I felt at first too, why do I need to add friends, a bunch of people I don't really know? But then I had a few people add me, i accepted, and added some friends myself - and it's been awesome! One of my favorite things about MFP has been the motivation and support given and received through my friends list, seeing progress, swapping exercise tips, food ideas, help with struggles, encouragement, and just general fun!

    I suppose it depends on how you define friend, and what a friend in general means for you. Friends to me are people I laugh with, cry with, joke with, cheer on (and be cheered), support unconditionally, and lay claim to a little piece of who I am. For others, they may only want friends who talk about fitness stuff only, and have no real personal connection with...and that's fine, if that's all you want here. I just don't personally see it that way. To me, those are only acquaintances.

    btw, to all my friends...if I haven't told you lately...You are Magnificent, and you make my world a better place :heart:


    I LOVE YOU MY DEAR SWEET FRIEND!!! XOXOXO :heart:

    I like reading peoples food diary's.
    I call this a nosey streak! Plus it's good to chat with like minded people and provide/receive motivation..
    I prefer quality over quantity.
    Not worried about eye candy, I have that at home :)

    My friends are my play things. I use them and then keep them locked in my basement.

    Why do you add friends on facebook? Its nice to have others comment when you lose another # or had a great workout... or if you're feeling discouraged and post a status, it's nice having people there to encourage you. Weight loss is hard - its easier when you realize you're not alone.
