    I probably would do better with someone to help keep me motivated. I have always been a book worm and now I am a desk jokey. I love my job, but I sit all day. I have never been an athlete and feel self conscious about exercising in front of people.

    i definitely could use some friends and support! my irl friends seem to drop out of mfp at a pretty quick rate and it leaves me less motivated (not that it is their job to keep me going!). also, i feel like every time i post on a discussion thread it dies. please add me and don't let me be the thread killer! :D

    I have been on and off of MFP for years and I've had some friends, but not like this. Recently, I decided to find and add more friends and wow, what a difference MFP is. Before, I would just log in and add my food and exercise, but nothing was really going on in my feed. I looked through my friends list and a lot of them were inactive, so I thought I'd try out adding some new people. My feed is beginning to become active and it is extremely motivating. I find myself wanting to come back to MFP and see what everyone is accomplishing and put in what I'm doing to help motivate others. It is such a rewarding experience. I love having new friends so we can motivate each other. Add me and post a comment so others can add you too. It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, we are here for each other to keep pushing through and moving forward smiley:

    AGREED! It's the main reason I became successful!! The MFP family that I have made is irreplaceable!

    I agree! I was in the same boat. I got some really great friends on here now. :) Feel free to add me!

    I would like an add as well. Never tried MFP with friends that I don't actually know. My actually friends don't chat on here, so it may help. Thanks!

    Haha, yes, this happens to the best of us. Looks like this one is still going. Whew.

    I have added you all. We are all on different journeys, but yet we all have goals. These goals are so much more invigorating when we have people rooting us on. And you know what? I'm getting my workout in today. Maybe even do extra :) I'm working on C25K week 2 day, 1 and get in some calisthenics. What are you doing today?

    BTW Florida peeps, I'm in Orlando here.

    I have started and restarted a few times. I hurt my ankle before and I took a nice, very long, break. But I got great shoes and am feeling great about it. I couldn't run yesterday, due to rain, but I'm getting out there today. It's beautiful out. How do you stop and continue in the same place? My body gets out of it and I have to restart.

    I'm sort of talky on people's 'feeds' and want you to open your diary and don't mind discussing TOM with women, so if you dare add me, go ahead.

    What's TOM? My diary is open, but I'm not perfect. Eh, but who is? I love my dark chocolate and occasional wine.

    This is SO true; MFP works best when you have a group of people to support you and cheer you on! :)

    They let me rant, they let me whine. They support and motivate me when I wanna just quit! They congratulate me when I accomplish something! Virtual friends rock!! :smiley:
