    A few of them...and others hopefully in the future...there are some folks that actually make a good case for MFP. Plus I've also had friends from real life that I've come across on here

    YES!! And trying to get more of my MFP local peeps to come out and link up!! It is great to meet the people behind the amazing encouragement!

    But like any smart woman, I am not trying to meet anyone from the internet alone in a dark alley! LOL

    I have met one, and she is awesome. We have had 3 meetings (we live 2 hrs. away so have a meeting spot in the middle). I'm so glad too since she stopped logging onto MFP. It's amazing--we felt from that first meeting like we have known each other for years! Would love to do it with some others if I could....maybe some day!

    I actually have turned some people I know in person onto mfp but actually do not have them on my friends list...I think I get too personal here and don't really want to talk about this kind of thing with them here. Even my husband and best friend.....both are members of mfp but not on my friends list :). funny.....anyway, they ask me questions in person if they want......

    YES!!!!!!! I have! I interviewed for a job with her. She's super sweet and looks amazing! She was one of my first pals on MFP and it was inspiring to see her weightloss in person and know that she's not only awesome online :laugh:

    No but I would like to, I consider a few of my friends on here true friends. Alot of people don't understand my sense of humour, including my ex step dad, so the few who actually get me I would like to keep hold of. I would definately meet up with my closest friends on here, it would be fun lol.

    I've never met any of my MFP friends in real life, but I have one I'm exchanging food packages with in England.

    I used to be very active on LiveJournal, and actually have several friends there that I talk to on Facebook, etc. One I have now known for years, has actually come and visited me and we text/email/FB all the time. She's even coming to my wedding!

    Only one, but I've known her several years longer than I knew about MFP. We decided to be long distance work out buddies, and when I found out about MFP, it was an easy way for us to help keep each other accountable.

    Not yet, but I really want to meet some of them. There is one friend on here that I REALLY want to meet. He knows it too. We have talked on the phone several times and Im sure we will meet up one of these days. :)

    I know a few people on here that I know in real life. Curiously, we all found it independently. My friend Elena and I found it the same day and joined the sdame day and didn't know it until we were talking later about it, "OMG! You too?"

    Two other friends of mine were here long before I joined. One I found becuse I mentioned the site to her and the other found me after seeing me causing havoc in the forums.

    As far as people I met here? Not yet. But I would imagine we will eventually.

    Probably over 10 by now, and none of them were my IRL friends before MFP.

    One of them is my very special someone. :heart:

    I just noticed that the OP is "spynoodle" and now I am just way freaked out by this thread.

    I have. A few have become good friends whom I run with weekly. One I met in June at Warrior Dash. I'm meeting two more in May in Virginia for our first half marathon! Woot woot!
