Don't want to sound conceited but...

I really need some new friends.

Not to sound mean, but a lot of the MFP friends I have I found before I was enlightened by the EM2WL group...

Thought I'd browse though some of their diaries tonight out of sheer curiosity, and found that a bunch of them regularly net less than 1000 cals a day! EEK! I don't want to be mean and unfriend them, I can only hope to gently try to convert them from the "dark side" of eating too few cals...

In the meantime, I could really use some EM2WL friends to follow and share with on this journey!!! If you have room on your friends list for one more, please feel free to add me...I'm really low maintenance; I'd really just like to stalk your food diaries and see what kind of activities you do from day to day!:laugh:

Thanks everyone!!! This group is really the best thing since sliced bread...and I REALLY like bread. :bigsmile:

Oh, and for all you Star Wars fans out there, happy "May the 4th be with you" day!:tongue:

    Same with my friends. Then they all start whining about their plateaus and I get on my EM2WL soapbox... I've been trying convert people like crazy!

    Feel free to add me as well! I've been converting people left and right, too!!!

    It's such a shame when I read someone's status complaining about why they can't lose weight and then I read their diaries and see they're eating maybe 1300 calories a day and burning off 500 calories through exercise....and considering lowering their calories even more. I'm like, "EAT...EAT....EAT for the love of God, EAT!!!"

    You can add me too if you like. I'm always on the lookout for new pals and if it's a pal that believes in eating to live then all the better.

  • Sent you a request :) Anyone else feel free to add me if you like. I started eating more about two weeks ago and I think I'm over the initial period of gaining/maintaining and starting to lose!

    Not conceited at all!! I'm MFP friends with my husband's cousin and noticed she had been netting WAY below 1000 cals, one day only 100 some!!! I had been explaining to my hubby about my EM2LW revelation and told him about her diary, which prompted him to confront her out of worry, which caused family drama and her accusing him of belittling her "success". DUMB!! I wish more people could understand!!!

    Feel free to add me. :)
