in Introduce Yourself
Been on MFP for a while - new to the community.

Seems like a lot of nice people on this forum, but I'm looking for some meanies, realists, hard-core, type-A personalities who are serious about getting this done - together. Help me on my WL journey. Call me out about my diet when I screw-up, kick my *kitten* when I miss a workout. Motivate me and... make me laugh :-)

I've found a few of you out there, but I'm sure I missed many more. Send me a Friend request - It goes without saying that I will appreciate and reciprocate.

    You sure?

    Tried that approach.

    How about positive energy and a great attitude?

    I'm not always a meanie, but if I know you can handle the crticism I will dish it out for you! I am on regularly and log both my food and exercise usually quite vigilantly. I like to support and be supported, add me if you like...or should I say...if you dare!

    I have totally been there, I need the same thing, I need someone to motivate me because my support is 0 over here from anybody, I can be mean too! haha

    I wouldn't call myself a meanie...but ask any of my MFP friends, and if they come to me and say "look at my diary or what should I be doing..." And I'm going to be honest, with a helpful approach! :). I know how hard it is, and oddly enough I'm naturally type A, but I can empathize as well. So if you need the swift kick in the butt or anyone on here...feel free to add me!

    You can do it! Trust me! I am here for all of you!

    Hi~ I'm new to the site.....I'm in it more for HEALTH than to lose weight. I'm 5'7" and 145 pounds. I'm also almost 48 years old and you know how "interesting" women look who are too thin. I think 'older' women tend to lose fat on the upper half and subcutaneously instead of in the lower half where I would LIKE to lose it! Any suggestions, friend?? :) And do you agree?

    I'm not sure how mean I can be to a complete stranger who hasn't pissed me off-but I can do my best.

    I'm def a meanie... and I'll kick your *kitten* if you need it... but ONLY in the nicest way possible! And being that I can be a serious slacker at times... I could use someone to do the same for me! I'm going to add you now!

    I'm prettty sure that if you wanted us to truly be 'mean' you'd make your food diary viewable.

    OK - Food/Exercise diaries should be viewable now. Thanks for asking.

    Dave4d - Ah, a fellow Utahn. Nice. We should be friends :-) I'll open my diary to public (it was set to friends). Who'd thunk that people would be so interested in my boring diet. Cool

    Why be mean?

    Mean is probably the wrong word. More like honest, critical and real.
    Don't sugar coat it. Don't make excuses. Don't be a marshmallow - that's how we all got to be soft and gooey.

    I look at it like this. On the Biggest Loser. I like Bob. He'd be great to go hang with or go out for a beer. He's a great guy and trainer. For my trainer - I'd take Jillian - You have to earn her respect. She'll call you out. She will challenge you. Push you to be your best.

    That's what I need - maybe you do too.

    -SM
