Seeking active MFP friends

in Introduce Yourself
I've been using MFP since January and have lost 45 pounds so far. I'm 37, 5'10. I log in every day (on a 200 day streak) and have become addicted to using the tool, and especially the "you would weight xx in 5 weeks..." feedback when I complete my entry each night. I run 3x a week, aim for strength training or yoga between runs, and enjoy trying new exercises I can do from home. I am not a clean eater, but I also don't eat much processed or fast food. I do like chocolate, and beer -- there is room for both in my diet!

I've noticed lately that many of my friends haven't logged in for weeks or months, and sometimes my own updates are the only ones I see in my news feed. I would love to connect with others who use the site every day, and who are rather active -- some level of exercise every day or two. It's motivating and inspiring for me to be connected to others who have made this part of their lifestyle, and I'm in a place where some days it's hard to keep going because "so close" and "good enough" start fighting with each other. I need a little push to keep it going, and want to see a news feed full of happy, active losers!

I know you're out there. :)

    Hey!
    Feel free to add me!
    I work out 6-7 days a week, and log my food intake usually 7 days a week but sometimes I slip. I also have a chocolate addiction and there is ALWAYS room for that in my diet :P

    I'm super active, even on the days I go missing half way through (of which there aren't many) I'll still log in etc. Feel free to add me anyone, but leave a wee message on the friend request thingy if you do :)

    Hey, everyone !! I am trying to use this app more in my life and I'm sure I'd be more motivated to use it if I had actually active members as friends. So please add me. It's sad only seeing my own status updates. I would also like to know what others are doing to reach their goals.

    Sooo .. ADD ME :)

    I'm 5'4" .. trying to stick with my mostly clean eating after falling off the wagon for a bit. I try to work out at least 3 times a week. Usually consists of me trying to outrun my dog for a few miles and biking. I really want to get into yoga but I have no $$ at the moment to pay for classes. I'm just fascinated with the poses I see people get in. It reminds me of acrobats.

    btw, I also do enjoy chocolate and beer. In moderation of course. ;)

    You can add me. I joined 55 days ago, log daily and I don't plan to stop anytime soon since I still have 60+ lbs to lose. I walk or ride a stationary bike 5-7 days a week and have begun lifting weights, (but not heavy... YET.)

    Hi Stace! I'm new here, but very active. I use the striiv app to calculate calories burned walking (which I do a lot of) and my accomplishments don't seem to show on my MFP newsfeed, meaning I'm doing more exercise than my posts would suggest!

    Everyone is free to add me--the more support the better!

    Hey there! I've been obsessed with logging too and checking my reports! I've lost 63 since March joined here a couple of weeks ago! I am working out everyday now, no days off for me, not if I really want it and ohhhh I do! Happy to lend support!

    I need some friends too, I go to the gym a few times a week but could do with some encouragement to do some circuits at home in between time. Feel free to add me, I've logged in daily for a month and am 6 lbs down! Chocolate is a necessity, any diet without it is not a sustainable one for me.

    I am a MFP junkie! You can add me. I am currently in phase 3 of P90X. I work out 6 days a week, and eat quite well. I too make sure to have room for chocolate and beer (and wine).

    Anyone else can add me too! :)

    Feel free to add me as well. i just rolled over 745 days logging (i think) and have found that it is a habit for me. I am also very active as I am trianing for a half marathon in a few months. i have been hanging out in the 1lb from my goal range for a while but not letting that slow me down.
