I'm On My second week here on MFP and i have found some pretty great friends who motivate me every time and I absolutely love it! ,but i have recently found people who added me saying i love motivating,turns out i have not gotten one motivational thing from them but they complain when something is not said to them it is tiring to me. I need some straight up dedicated friends both my age and even older for wisdom! So Please if you want to help me get motivated and stay motivated please add me and i will always help motivate you at anytime.

    Best thing to do with those friends is "DELETE" :)

    I'll be happy to help you get motivated, feel free to add me. :)

    I feel the same way. I hardly request adds...it's usually people requesting me as a friend and then I add them and support them and try to comment and get to know them and they never say one word to me...I don't get it. I always just want to ask them why they ever added me in the first place?!

    I hope you don't see me as one of those non-motivating friends :( I really try to do the best I can to get to everyone. If I haven't told you lately, you are doing great and making wonderful progress! All the exercise you and everyone else does is motivating me! So keep up the awesome work!

    Welcome to MFP! :) I always motivate and encourage everyone on my list. sometimes they aren't that active or as supportive... I'll just delete them. I do "spring clean" on my list whenever I am free to log in here. But I know how you feel, i have like 100+ friends but only 20 of them are that supportive of me :)

    I know exactly what you mean about friends with no motivation. I'm an insulin-dependent diabetic, and until I hurt my back I was always pretty good about keeping my weight in control. I put on weight when I couldn't walk distances or do other forms of exercise. When I was ready to get back in shape I invited my "friend" to join me in walks, stair climbs, etc. No one wanted to come,... and some people made fun of me because I wanted to exercise and get healthy. That's when I joined MFP. I've found a great support system here. You're going to meet a lot of people who only want you to succeed, and who will cheer you on with each victory. We're here for you!

    Gotta say this: YOU have to be your motivation. While friends on here can be supportive, they aren't eating your dinner with you, physically exercising with you, etc.
    Don't let "non motivating" friends on here be your excuse NOT to be motivated yourself.
