    Tap on the name, tap on the name again and then tap on the icon of the two people to send a friend request. You can add a message, but the message never sends these days

    Hello peeps. I have been dragged onto another app by my friend, which gives quick home workouts ranging from 7 minutes to 37 minutes. I am actually enjoying it, but realizing how unfit I am, despite my karate once a week (probably because it is only once a week). It is nice just to do 12 minutes here and 8 minutes there

    @Versicolour I love those little workouts that are easy to fit into a busy schedule!

    Every time I get inspired to get healthy, I go at it too much. Huge calorie reduction, really restrict food and 30-60 minute workouts every night. While it works, I seem to get myself overwhelmed and give up quickly. I am trying something different this time. Right now, I am starting out just tracking calories and walking, fitting in other workouts when it works. Once I am in a good spot mentally with the tracking, I plan to narrow down the macros and add in more strength training. I might not be losing weight as fast as I could, but I feel pretty good right now and feel like I am making better choices. And, I have been consistent for 3 weeks, which is about 2 weeks and 5 days longer than I have been in a long time!

    Hey there! I've just returned to MFP after a few years absence. Stayed on track until last year then covid hit and the gyms being closed plus isolation really threw me off. Now ready to focus and get back to being in the best shape of my life. The plan is to build muscle then shred. I'd really appreciate some friends to help hold me accountable. Thanks..... Be Unstoppable!

    Need you lovely people to keep me on track.

    Ut oh.. :#

    Yep, although I can kind of put it down to the steroids I'm taking for my lupus.
    Non-stop starving

    Im sorry to hear about the Lupus, is that a recent diagnosis?
    Steroids are notorious for weight gain I've heard.

    Yeah - diagnosed in December after a year of agony and misery.

    Sorry to hear about the diagnosis. Hope the meds help.

    Thanks

    To add friends on MFP on the desktop app:

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    Will send you a friend request.

    Thanks, Jo. Someone else mentioned that, too. The programmers should remove the option if it is not functional.

    You have to hope they don't think you're a bot. I will change that in the future. I have started sending a note after someone adds me.

    I agree , it should be removed if it doesn't work. Unfortunately there's a whole lot of peeps that have probably been declined for not adding a message when in fact they did.

    Yeah, I do the same an introduce myself message. 🙂

    Good to know that now that I'm 36, I qualify for "middle age". :grimace:

    I've been here since 2017, though.. and I was definitely not 36 then. :lol:
