in Getting Started
:D Ok, I'm being dramatic, but honestly, I've sent lots of friend requests (to people asking for friends!) with nice notes and rarely get responses. I don't get it. So here I am begging for friends. I'm Monika, I'm a 52-year-old cancer survivor from the Seattle area who needs to lose some weight but I've been focusing on eating healthily and being active. I'd love to have friends of all ages. I'm cheerful and supportive and while I don't have a lot of public posts, I've been on MFP for a long time off and on. Currently, I've been logging daily for a couple months.

If this is what online dating is like, thank goodness for my boyfriend of 13 years.

Ok, I'm finished being pathetic. Bring on the friends. :):blush:

    I don't know how to add friends on here (or it may be blocked on my office computer). But any of you are welcome to send me a request and I will add you! I rarely get on this site, but use the app almost daily.

    I was just about to post something very similar(ok, mine sounded WAY more desperate). I just came back to MFP yesterday for the I don't know how many hundredth time and have still not figured out how to send a friend request. I really could use some friends to go through this journey with. I'm 47, going on 20, and also a very nice person, great listener, so....anyone, anyone???

    You're so pretty. :) I sent a friend request. To do so yourself, click on a person's name. Then click on their name AGAIN on the next screen, then "Add Friend". I wish they made it a little more obvious.

    Oh wow, thank you, for the compliment and the friend request AND teaching me what to do so I don't have to wait to ask my daughter and then watch her roll her eyes at me! I'm Lis(Liz), trying to lose another 66 pounds, and hopefully keep it off for good this time. I've lived in Maine for 2 years, but came back to CA for at the end of April when my dad was diagnosed with cancer.

    I don't know why people haven't accepted your friend requests even with a note, but I do know some people on MFP say they will check a person's profile before they will accept them to see if seem to have anything in common. Yours appears to be blank and that is perfectly fine, but if you fill it out you might have more luck adding friends in the future. Or maybe you will get plenty of friends from this post!

    I really thought I'd filled out my profile. Thanks for letting me know. I did pretty well with the begging but I'll still let people know more about me!

    just so you don't feel bad, not everyone on here feels the need to have friends on mfp (or in life for that matter--me). I have let a few friends on my list and then deleted a couple. The reason for this (for me anyway) is I don't need a cheering squad and I'm not good at the "way to go, great job, sorry your having a tough day" kind of thing. I also don't like to see 100 post by one person in 5 minutes....lol. I have my cheering squad at home and nearby in the form of family, I know a lot of people here don't have that and that's a shame. I am sure you will get lots of friends and good luck on your weight loss journey.
