I'm afraid I don't fit in to any many people's critiria of friend acceptancy as I have requested approx. 40 people in the last 48 hours and I have only got 2 new friends.

Anybody else with the same problem?

    Me too. I am looking for someone to help me stay motivated in my weight loss efforts. I only began this program 3 days ago. None of my friends or family really struggle with weight loss so I have 0 friends on my page!

    Anyone can add me as well. I've been on here for a little over a month and only have two friends, lol. I guess I'm not very good at reaching out.

    That's an awful lot of friend requests in such a short period of time. Perhaps quality over quantity?

    Anyone on MFP is a friend as far as I am concerned so anyone can feel free to add me. We are all in this together!! And it is scientifically proven that the more support you have in your weight loss efforts the better success you will have!

    I'll add you. I see you're from the UK? that's right isn't it? you can do a search and find people from your area if that's what you're aiming for.

    I have also found that I don't really fit in to any one group and I have made it a point to send messages to those I feel that i can relate to and to point out the specific reasons why I am in interested in their journey, and have heard back from very few. oh well.
    Feel free to add me, I get along with all kinds!

    If you add a message with the friend request, mentioning why you feel you would be a good match, you might have better luck. Just say "I read your response in such and such thread" or "We have mutual friends." or something. Most people seem to appreciate that.

    It may also be that some of the people you sent requests to haven't logged in today.
