friends that are actually friends?

hoping this doesn't sound petty lol. i've found that most of the people i've added from the general "add me if you need friends" threads don't really comment or like my updates or send any messages, even though i do all of the former actions for them. i get that people have busy lives + stuff but i'd like to add people who'll actually encourage me and vice versa and even just talk about random stuff in our lives or whatever.

    I find it's best to read threads you're interested in, and friend people who you seem to have things in common with. The "add me!!" threads are basically just friend collectors looking for numbers.
  • I log every day, and interact with my friends. I have a great bunch of people that i have met on here, and we have helped eachother along our journeys, but have also become really good friends in the process. If you want someone who fits this description, you can add me!

    Hang out here long enough and you will find friends. Like what @Alatariel75 says, some are just friend collectors.

    I had no idea you could actually talk to other people through here! How are you all doing? Lost my first 2 pounds since I started using my fitness pal regularly (been on and off for a year now). Trying to stick to the routine and keep at it until 40 more pounds are gone! How do you guys keep yourselves motivated?

    I haven't been doing so well (mostly neglecting my cal limit lately), but I'll totally cheer you on :)

    I log everyday and try to interact with my friends to encourage them, congratulate them and even see how they're doing in life. I don't expect them to return the favour but still
