"If you like pina coladas...."

Sometimes I'll add a new friend on MFP and then realize we have very little in common. I love making new friends from all walks of life in general, but I find that I get the most motivation here on MFP from having friends with similar challenges and diets as me. My ideal friend would be:

-age 25-50
-with 20-70 lbs to lose
-someone who shares their food diary! :)
-a fellow pescatarian (or vegetarian) who isn't doing IF or keto (more power to you if you are; it's just not what I'm doing)
-someone who has a small number of friends and interacts with them every day or two
-loves the outdoors: hikes, camps, gets outside

Please add me if we are like-minded!

Again, I hope this doesn't come off as exclusionary; there are just so many people here and I'd love to find some that are a good fit! Who would be your ideal MFP friend?

    One who’s main reason is to be a support system for why we joined this app, to lose or maintain weight loss or health goals. Secondary to that, ones with a sense of humor and a bonus if your within driving distance of me!

    One who is willing to cheer one another on! I don't care if they eat the same, I like looking at other's diaries for inspiration and find keeping mine open keeps me accountable. I enjoy hearing other's workouts too, it inspires me to do more.

    My ideal MFP friend is one that I think about even when they are not in my friends list.

    :heart:

    My favorite MFP friends are low-maintenance but I know would be there for in heartbeat if I needed them. Those people come in all shapes, sizes, fitness levels, and locations :)

    ETA and ages. Because some of y'all aren't as young as you used to be :lol: (neither am I). And some of you are mere babies.

    One who is online regularly . One who is motivated yet chill and can talk about stuff beyond food and fitness. I had a good friend on here but I threw in the towel and when I came back I couldn't find her.
