Don't be shy, add friends!

I've been a long time MFP-er, but I only recently started using the MFP community and I find that it's actually been an important step in the right direction for me. When I engage with other users I find myself motivated and supported. I used to scoff at adding friends randomly, but I found that in doing so it's helping me engage with other folks who have the same goals as I do. I am no longer only lurking. I like adding my input and learning from others as well.
That being said, if you're a long-time lurker on the forums or you've found yourself lacking momentum, please add me! We can all do this together!

i have been a MFP user on and off for a long time, trying to make this a true habit and make this time work. i haven't added people in the past, been very private, maybe adding friends is the motivation i need.

It seemed to me that a lot of people who had the best transformation before/after pics and stories tended to be folks who had a decent amount of friends. I feel a lot different this go around in adding friends and engaging and encouraging. I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in having been more private in the past. For me it was embarrassment, but I think it’s more embarrassing to avoid something because you don’t want to acknowledge the truth. And for me the truth was that I kept telling myself that I have plenty of time to lose weight later on. But it’s been 7 years since I last felt healthy and fit, and that’s entirely too much time to “get to it later.”

I know this is a crazy question, but how do you add friends? I too have always only lurked. I often felt envious of the connection and support others had on here. I really want to be successful and not repeat this yoyo process. Thanks in advance for answering.
