New year New friends

New to
Community but have used MFP for years. Looking for a community of like minded friends to share tips/journey. I’m a full time RN/wife/mother of 2. I don’t know how to add friends yet. When I click on names it just says ignore so you may have to add me at first until I figure this out a little more. I’m looking to lose
20 lbs in the next year. Thanks!

    Hi pmontoto. Happy New Year! I have also used MFP for years but your post gave me the guts to try community. Same. No idea how to add friends or how this works. Similar goal. Lose twenty pounds this year. Feel stronger. Get back in shape. Mom/wife with three kids and job in healthcare. Happy to give support and have support. Wishing you luck too!

    With recent changes to the forums, its not as easy to get to peoples profiles profiles anymore. The easiest way (from a computer) is to replace the user name (like in the url below) with the user name of the person you want to add. ( i cant help you with doing it from a phone as I dont use the forums on my phone). I dont care if you add me, but I will warn you, I am not the friend for everyone. I am very supportive, and off and on all day, so see most things, but I swear like a sailor and ramble incessantly about my life, and not just about diet and weight crap. I have an awesome group of friends who are pretty much the same. You are welcome to board to crazy train and hop off if you so choose. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/profile/callsitlikeiseeit
