in Motivation and Support
Has anyone made friends/connected with people from the site/friend's list? As in, communicate or keep in contact with fellow members with the same/similar stats, age and goals via any messenger service with support, accountability and motivation? Just wondering.

    Oh that's cool. I just started using kik and wondered if anyone from mfp used it to keep in closer contact with members/make friends. I've seen a lot of members with 100+ people on their friends list and wondered about the level of interaction, support, etc.

    I recommend taking time to find the friends you are close with from here.

    I have a few Facebook friends from Weight Watchers online that I've never met in person. After a year+ of talking to them on WW, I didn't want to lose them when I switched to MFP :brokenheart:

    I've met about 20 people from MFP including one that became my SO and a couple that have become IRL best friends.

    I also have some that I've never met in person that I talk/text/Skype with regularly.

    Have plans to meet more this summer.

    Oh.

    From the title of the thread I thought you were asking if people had friends that weren't from MFP.

    That would just be weird...

    Why is that weird?

    I have a few people from MFP that I am very close to and talk to daily or near daily.
    Some that I am friendly with and talk to weekly on MFP.

    Like...real world friends? Breathing people who try to talk to you in person?

    :noway:

    I'm getting the shivers just thinking about it.


    Seriously, the only way to protect yourself is to stay locked in a basement with no lights on... or get a safe room and never come out.

    I'd never talk to somebody I met on MFP outside of MFP. That would just be weird.
