2015 Adopt a Noob Official MFP Thread

Unknown
edited March 2015 in Getting Started
Welcome to the 2015 Adopt-a-Noob Discussion!

This thread is dedicated to those MFP members that would like to volunteer their time to mentor or adopt a new comer to MFP; with the high volume that occurs in the beginning of the year, this will be an easy way for new members to view profiles of members to friend and lean on for advice, guidance or direction.

For those who participated in the Adopt-a-Noob discussion last year - giant thanks for your willingness to give back and support others on their path. If you have recently posted in the original discussion, or volunteered last year and have bandwidth again, please be sure to re-post here. Also a special thanks to @psulemon for owning this discussion the entire last year.

Mentors

We will maintain a list of forum members (in this post) of all the members that would like to become a mentor or volunteer their time. We suggest that you post some background (essentially a short profile) on yourself to give the new members some prior knowledge. If at any time, you want to revise your post, please send an update to @Rachel, @Michelle or @Olivia, and we will alter your original post as soon as we are able.

New members

Please review the short paragraphs of the members and feel free to PM them or send a friend request (you should include a little bit about yourself as many members won't accept blank friend request). Hopefully, you will utilize this as a mentoring tool to increase the chances of success.

Keep in mind, that mentors are NOT obligated to accept new members if they do NOT feel it's a good fit... especially if you PM them with a creepy message or their plate is full.

Thank you for your support!

ps - please follow the rules. All thread hijacking will be followed by a strike as it violates the rules. If you don't understand the rules, please see below.

  • I'm a bit late on this train, but does anyone want to adopt me? :3
  • Just started MFP and could use some friends to help me get on the right track. :)
  • hello. My name is Ally, I am 33 and I am struggling with my weight for over 15 years. I tried everything out there but unfortunately, I am my worst enemy and always seem to fail due the lack of self esteem. I can move mountains for the loved ones but when it comes to me, I can't do anything for myself... that's why I need support, I need someone who will guide me and listen to me. I can offer support as well. I am a good listener and always happy to make new friends. Thank you
  • Mentor needed please.
    I am 39 currently obese have 2 girls and work full time. I try to gym 3/4 times a week.
    I have pcos too. Need a good kick to keep on track doing this alone is hard, no gym buddy either. If you would like to help i would be grateful....
  • Weight gain mentor needed please :smile:
    I've just started going to the gym this past week because I'm not happy with how I look, I look really underweight, I'm 20 years old 6ft4 and I weigh around 12st4lbs, If anyone could help me with bulking and gaining lean muscle I'd really appreciate it, thank you
