    Support is definitely great to get from others who are trying to do the same thing you are. Being honest is also very helpful, because some of us need that.

    what I give... support, encouragement, motivation, a swift kick in the *kitten* once and again, laughs... the norm.

    I don't have expectations. I very carefully choose my friends and am grateful for all of them, simply because they are themselves. They are clever, witty and absolutely lovely people.

    I only recently added a few friends that were doing a same challenge. I can't really say I expect anything from them. I guess I'm just not much of an online "friends with strangers" person. Or maybe it's just that I have a really supportive family, but I don't really 'get' the MFP friend thing.

    Mine are split into two groups, though I have a few that roam back and forth.

    Group 1 - Awesome diaries, exercise logs, encouragement, motivation
    Group 2 - snarky, funny, make me laugh, call me on my BS

    The best ones are the those that do both.

    A "WTG" on my status every now and again, but I like the cash idea :laugh: !

    mine are too, but some of my friends on here are close, like family, too.

    Funny, supportive, like-minded (or not) people. For me, it's more about the friendships than anything else. I mean, I come to mfp to log my food, but I stay (and keep coming back) because of the people here. <3 MFP

    They are either witty, funny, smart, hard-working, inspirational, successful in their goals, or some combination thereof.

    Nothing specific from individual MFP friends. Just the postings from the group to let me know that I am part of a group that has similar goals.
    It is good to hear that others have difficulties from time to time and it is good to hear that other people are seeing success.

    I actually like none of this.
    I had friends on a previous account that did this and getting "wtg" every day just seemed... empty.
    That's probably just me, though.

    I agree. I like interaction from my friends in some way or another.

    bail money

    No way, never again! Not after you skipped bail the last time. :grumble:
