    Actually this is also why I'm not on Facebook. Its so impersonal and ingenuine at times.

    I'm not seeing any like button on MFP at all. :/

    On the iOS app, these can be found on status updates on the Home page / newsfeed. I have a screen grab of a status update here, the "Like" button is on the bottom left

    I don't have things to say about every status update, and frankly I also use the Like buttons as a way to mark my spot on the newsfeed, since I sometimes only catch up after two or three days. Other than that I try to do the oddball "Great Job" and killer burn but not always. Usually if an actual discussion comes up, I'll participate. Or if I have questions about a workout someone has done, I'm not shy about asking. But 100% "way to go" or "killed it" for me is just not enough material for sustainable conversations over multiple months and possibly even years!

    Sometimes it's really hard to think of anything besides "Great job!" lol. I don't like saying trite things and will only say something when I have something worthwhile to say. I do find myself liking things simply to let the person know I'm paying attention without having to type out "Great job!" or "Awesome" on my phone . . . I like getting likes. I don't think of them as lazy, I appreciate the person reading my status and liking it.

    ^^^^ These.

    I really do like seeing that my friends "like" my progress - it is an acknowledgment, and enough for me. If I get a comment, that is great too. I'm glad MFP has the option.

    I love it when I get comments on my status! It helps me stay accountable and motivated. I don't want to let my MFP friends down. I'm ok with the like button on my diary...it's not open anyway. I love to make comments too, and love to support people on their journey. I have only been on here since the summer and didn't get involved right away.....I didn't even realize it was a social platform tbh. Lol

    If you want you can add me! But I can be a bit of a smartass at times....that's your only warning!!
