    Just started MFP too, and after reading the forums, I started adding people who were new like me, had similar goals, or seemed to interact. No point adding someone who trolls the forums but doesn't have goals or any activity in their own profile. But that's just me.

    I do know what you mean though. For me, I'd like to add a few who have been here awhile, who still may have weight to lose but have also had success.. but it's harder approaching them.

    I always did hate being the newbie in a group..

    Because I've seen how awesome they are in the forums usually.

    So far, I've only added people who showed interest in adding me because of some similarity we share, let it be location, cuisine tastes, or ability to recognize and use their and they're properly.

    its hard to know , if the profile is not viewable,
    just add people then if they turn out be non genuine and don't log in or offer any support you can remove them from your list,
    but be care full not to add so many people that you cant keep up with everyone's comments
    you will build some really good bonds with people on here its a fantastic network
    and if your a bit shy doesn't matter as you don't have to come face to face with anyone, so just be yourself, and as for being made fun of well you don't have to worry about that, there's all sorts of different personalities on here, and everyone is free to just be their natural self.
    you can add me as a friend if you want
    good luck :)

    I decide by a couple of reasons. Based on what I find in the info. If they have failed to fill anything out in the info, unless they just joined. that shows motivation. activity in the fourms that shows more intrest and less likely to get discouraged and quit showing back up. Lastly I don't discriminate on male/ female or anyothers who to add. Based on every person time give great idea's you take a little bit from everyone and it is normally solid reasoning. Once you get your freinds certain ones on your freinds list you know what ones can help with different issues. Some are exercizing, while some give good nutritional, and other give more life experiance. IT all depends what you want. The more didication they have to the web site/ moble app the more intrest they are goign to give...
    Just my 2 Cents

    I only accept people taller than me so I can look up to them in more ways than one. It's motivation!

    I don't really have a method...it's like FB...do you have any friends in common? are they active? are they are a runner?! haha.

    I guess someone who is motivated to get where they want to be because I know I am.

    My first group of friends was a bunch of wonderful ladies from a local Mommies website that helped inspire me to join and get started. After them, I started getting into the forums and I requested several people that I found inspiring or just felt I had something in common with when I read their posts. Some of my friends became my friends b/c we were doing the same workouts and wanted to encourage each other. Most of my friends have requested me after reading something I wrote in the forums or checking out my profile. Some of us also have similar stats in terms of height and possibly starting weight and/or goals.

    I accept all friend requests. I'm on very frequently through the day, it's what I do as my youngest nurses, or naps on me:) I also comment on almost everything - I will not comment on closed diaries, and I will tell you to eat more if you are consistently under eating.

    I add the ones who make me laugh, I've got this thing for sarcasm.

    I also add people who say something I strongly agree with or relate to and people who I seem to have a lot in common with. It's really not all that complicated.

    I sent you a friends request. Not a good looking man, just an old fat lady losing weight and getting healthy. LOL

    :laugh:

    I think its personal preference. You'll find that if you really enjoy posting on walls and keeping up with each and everyone of your freinds that you will want to keep your list small.

    I add people that have lost a lot of weight or people that have been doing this for a while. I add people that have good goals and routines to help them accomplish their goals. I add people that remain focused on the prize at the end. I've added some people from various challenges that I have joined. I also add a few hot guys. I like their routines and pics. :wink:

    I will also delete you if you're not online participating after 5-7 days. I need the support just as much as my friends. I expect to interact with them on a daily basis.
