Since I became a member and was adding friends request..since then I been deleted them due of my busy home duties and also the fact that most people do not come on daily...to check PM of Friends message. I ..People come and go.and do understand people at work, or school and or dealing with life issues...I know I have not been on much, but do check each morning or any free time I can get. I promise myself I won't add friends request..BUT did add and never heard from them.
I tried finding daily email buddies on here ..which failed...I need a daily and who is reliable.Daily/24/7 during the week and most weekends. I am started to binge when am bored and hinders off my plan.
As of today...I won't add any friends request.. Folks on here should post on the boards or PM. which am seeking on finding PM net buddies... I love this site and this is my only social media ...I do not do Facebook..or Twitter.. Daily Strengh is my net weight loss home.

I'd like to throw out a suggestion to you... maybe add an alternate site for support. There are a couple that I know of that have pretty active community message boards. There is almost always someone around posting. One is SparkPeople dot com, the other is FatSecret dot com. I know there are others, I just dont' know the names.
Finding a "one on one" anywhere may be tough - but especially here. DS is a great community but the obesity and dieting forums aren't extremely active (as you know!) You may be able to find someone more dedicated to weightloss/lifestyle change at a website specifically for that. You don't have to give up DS....just supplement it!
The great thing about the ones I'm thinking of are that both have food trackers. That was initially why I joined the one I did....I can log my food either by my computer or using the app on my phone. I got sloppy and careless logging on paper and having the app makes it a LOT faster. Both sites I mentioned have good food databases there already and you can add new things as well.
Honestly, I'm not much more active there than I am here -- but I DO log every bite I eat (both good and bad). I see people on the forums that are there every day. They're supportive communities and more active than DS in obesity/dieting.
Wishing you good luck in whatever moves you forward!
I've had the best luck with journals but forget to do that.
I need someone to be responsible to...hoping this group will help me answer to another.
Several medis I take can cause weight gain and I use that as an excuse.
