When you click on "My friends", what is the members in need part? Silly question but really don't know.
Hugs!

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with how you are feeling/rating.

It shows anyone who has the bad or horrible face indicated for how they are doing. In "My friends" section it will show you your friends that are having bad or horrible days. Then you know they may need some extra support or hugs. Hope that was clear, I'm having a horrible day today and brain is kinda fuzzy. hugs

That was clear Hobbes and accurate. It's a very quick way of checking to see who among your friends would appreciate the extra support. It works too!! Hugs To all Owlxx

I don't think that's a silly question, I wondered the same thing. So now we know! Thanks for asking.

Im not really sure about the friends in need either but a few weeks ago someone, sorry cant remember who, messaged me saying i was listed as a friend in need. NO clue how that happened. But i didnt list myself as a friend in need.
I wonder if someone else lists a friend as a friend in need.
Good question. lol I also dont know about this either. lol

Dream, if you have your profile set with the bad or horrible faces, then you are automatically put in the "friends in need" category. Also, there is a section were anyone on DS can see you are "in need", and can send a hug or message.

I didn't know that. I'm pretty new, and I'm on a run of really crappy days (as evidenced by my journal entries)...but I'm trying to only use the unhappy faces when I'm genuinely unhappy. Which is pretty much the majority of the time lately lol.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
