in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I've been a member for 5 days, and although I have participated on the community walls, I don't really have any friends.
How does it work? Sending ppl msgs and asking for an add? Anyone that reads this and wants to be friends is welcome to add me, heh, it's weird i feel a bit shy, it's like when ur in kindergarten and ask someone to play. lol :)

    It's amazing how nice ppl are here :D my mom is Finnish and I live in Finland right now, ppl here are usually a lot more withdrawn, they don't really randomly support or talk about problems. This is so refreshing!! Thanks guys!

    One suggestion I would make...

    If you're sending a friend request to someone you don't already know, add a message to the request that tells them why you would like to be friends. Common interests? Similar weight loss goals? Whatever. I have people waiting for me to accept their friend requests, but I haven't yet because I don't know who they are or why they want to connect. I probably will accept, but I think it's rude to not introduce yourself to a stranger before telling them you want to be friends.

    I need friends too! :o) I just posted my "status" saying so. Funny...then I ran across this post. I just started this, this weekend and haven't really gotten the hang of it yet but I'm sitting down now to do that so I can start my week off right.
