introvert trying to make friends

in Motivation and Support
I'm the quiet awkward person who has no friends in real life. We've moved a lot and now that were settled in a new state im too shy to make new friends. I'm a busy mom of 3. And my low self esteem doesn't help. I have a minimum of 100 pounds to lose and would love some support and motivation. But I need something more than just a "like" on a post. I've attempted a few times to get to know people better on here but I'm not sure if its me or if everyone in here is just so focused on their goals that they aren't wanting to chat and get to know people along the way.

anyways. Now that I sound needy and pathetic (which wasn't my intent) I'm looking for FRIENDS to support and get motivation from.
I'm keeping my goals small right now so I don't begin feeling over whelmed. I'm trying to just focus on 10 pounds at a time.(getting below 280 was my first goal. Now I'm focusing on getting under 270, etc etc)

I'm just eating healthier and eating less. I'd love to work out but with 3 kids, living with family, and all my kids activities I feel like I don't have time or even know what to do. So I'm up for suggestions on that too!

add me if you want!

    Feel free to add me. I am a mom of 2 with one on the way and I am a bit of an introvert in my personal life. I prefer a quiet night at home to a big get together any day. You don't sound needy and pathetic to me :> Finding time for exercise is hard. Do your kids have activities in the morning on weekend? Maybe you can take them to the park and get some walking or bike riding in.

    Hi Introvert!
    I'm at home with a "Terrible Two" and an introverted 15yr old myself. Are you on facebook? If so look me up Kate Pickeral pic holding daughter in Va. Doing this mainly on my phone and don't always see messages on there.

    Feel free to add me. I have two boys and their social lives are better than mine! I tend to cycle everywhere, either with us all on our own bikes or with the boys in my cargo trike. At the moment, I'm doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, which is short enough to be fitted in before the boys get up!
    You can do this - raising children is far harder than losing weight ;)

    I might be to much of a bright light, as I have experience on loan from a very powerful source..

    Im willing to invest in friendship.. no problem.. i mean active friendship.. all the fast acting tips advice.. short codes, back doors, trap doors, side doors and no shortage of food energy..you need.. in one solid to the bone package..

    If you are needing to looe 100.. I know only 50 pound sis what is needed.. the rest will be water weight and the ability to teach your body how to release lipolytic enzymes..This is the only hormone agent in the body that can communicate with body fat, interprets food energy needs of the body and that can command unwanted body fat to stand down.

    I can super teach this.. as I know with three kids.. you have only 6 seconds of processing time to put anything of use for your body to work..

    Well..I only need three seconds..to convey deploy and compel. Yes I am that GOOD!

    Friend me.. send me your direct email.. I can get you to fat loss light speed in 5 questions or interactions or less..

    I'm an introvert and mom of 3 (trying to be 4 but I may be getting too old for that) and a geek. I will do my best to support and motivate you, but I tend to go in spurts. Friend me if you want, and good luck on your journey. It sounds like you're off to a good start.

    No Scam....
    or the start of one..

    Your entire frame of reference is based on fear, doubt and disbelief ...from the get go..The formula to calculate your protein number ( Pn#) is free..
    its called the thermal effect of food..I revamped it to meet the common end user.. its an exceptional master piece of physio-science

    the Formula for the Food frequency is 2 b4 12 and 2 after 2pm..

    the metabolic formula for the Replenishment Index (Rpndx) is lengthy but is based on your own food energy plan..

    on MFP its called a food diary....


    The scam really is that the masses, like sheep, have been lead to believe in just one stream of thought.

    Yet fitness by far, is still in the dark ages. The arrogance is if they didint create the help that people need or if medical science didnt script the facts that.. there way is the only way..

    The scam is there is another way and always has been.. .. and if you have been watching anything in tech..

    we are discovering and uncovering new ways to achieve and to become and improve upon and view things differently ..

    Apps have revolutionized how we use our time..People with excuses about fitness have always used no time as an excuse..

    Now there is an app that will save you time..so you can be fit..

    human nature being what it is still finds an excuse..

    Im semi retired because I developed a system that made me 27 times as effective as any personal trainer.alive. with out dvds with out media attention, with out a book, and with out call centers.

    My system works better today than it did back them..because the platform back them was not sophisticated enough yet to teach people on the sidelines.. the introverts, the nay sayers, the people who try to reach out but because all the world is a scam..what they yet have not seen or can convince themsleves is real try effortless to not understand,

    This keeps them from enjoying the life force wedge deep within the bowels of a pressure cooker known as uncontained discipline..

    I accept the blame for being, able to exert pit test and retest my physical equivalent of will power over free will..

    as I have already witnessed the weakness , the thin fragile framework fitness rests upon..

    and based on the food diarys I took my valuable time and curiosity to review..

    You have indeed been scammed..
    but it was not by any thing Im doing..

    My name is Dances with Wow..

    Life force is in all things.. pure and natural
    Im in MATRIX. and of The Matrix
    I can with ease move as fast as they do... and create my own set of master keys
    I took the red pill..
    But can you?

    I, too, have over 100 pounds to lose and would love to become 'friends' and help motivate each other. I've not used myfitnesspal as a social network before, which might be one reason my weight loss attempts and logging fail miserably. Please feel free to add me, and let's start this journey!

    I really can't stand people like this that prey on others that are working and dreaming for something better. I can assure you that 50 of the 100 pounds is NOT water....c'mon. The only real way to do this once and for all is to change the way we eat, and why. Good food...fresh and healthy, not pre-made or pre-packaged. We have to focus on our portion size and use food for what it is intended (to nourish) not for emotional support.....something many of us do. There is no "secret" other than change your life from within for the good of your body, mind and soul. Crackpot! Ignore him.

    You can add me, 3 kids range from 18- 3. When my kids are participating in their activities is when I will go for a run. Originally started walking. I will also make exercise games with my youngest. We do Yoga poses together, ( as best as we both can ;) ), and then chase after each other. All activities add up, as long as we are moving. Also don't forget mommy needs her time too. If you can manage to be up before the kids to get in a 30 min exercise tape or after their in bed is a win!

    Nice to see so many folks coming out this.

    Introvert here pushing myself to not be one, the problem is as an adult I don't know how to make friends. My son who is 4 says he just goes up to other kids, then starts playing and they become friends. If only it was this easy in adulthood.

    I'm in the maybe 2 or 3 friends total boat, and I don't have any I hang out with regularly. I turned to this site for people I would invest my time in and they would invest their time in me. It hasn't panned out. I don't know if the dedication of others or some sort of personality flaw since I have a hard time creating those kind of reciprocal relationships in my daily life.

    Kudos to you for trying and anyone who wishes, please feel free to add me. I keep coming here as what I think of as my best chance for success, but in between some of the harsh comments, and the "do you think the above person is sexy..." or "what would you do to the above..." threads I have tended at times to want to give up on here.

    Moments and finding threads like this one certainly do help and thanks for that.

    Hello! I'm pretty introverted as well, and I have also had difficulty making new friends after moving to a new place. Like you, I have at least 100 lbs to lose. If you still need some more friends, feel free to add me :)
