Hi Everyone,

I am a fellow lap-bander (banded October '09) and I use MyFitnessPal.com to track my foods, exercise and weight loss goals. It's a great tool. Are any of you members? It is free, if you are interested.

If you are members or become members, what do you think of becoming "buddies" on this site so we can look at what each other eats and excercise, etc. for help and tips?

Reply here or PM me if you're interested. I can give you my email address and you can look it up on Myfitnesspal.com so we can be linked.

Be well,

Renee

I'm on there!

Me too (vickyd205)

I love it! I have been bad about tracking for the last couple of days! (hmm33502)

I'm on there too as LapBandBobbi

Thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone! I will add you... I am Wisteria75 on there. I have such a hard time with what to eat since I am VERY picky with foods. Not good for a lapbander... I have been having a hard time with weight loss as well and I'm trying to stay under 1200 calories. So we'll see. Thanks for all of your support. We can all support each other there as well. Yay to us!

Almost all of my friends on MFP are lapbanders, so feel free to friend request them too. They're a great group of people and we keep each other inspired!

Do any if you know how you view someone else's food diary?

Thanks again so much, I appreciate that. I saw your "home" page and people on there are VERY encouraging. It's wonderful!

I read your summary on there as well, and I've been battling weight loss for 11 years now. Got the surgery Oct. '09 but have only lost 30 pounds. There are reasons behind that, that I am embarrased to mention. Anyway, I liked your summary.

Hey vickyd,

Not sure but when I find out, I'll let you know! I haven't had much time to browse yet... still working.

I think I figured it out but not sure. I had my food diary set to private. So... I went to My Home, then Settings, then located bottom left is Diary Sharing. You can choose Private, Public, Friends Only, or Locked with a key. I changed mine to Friends Only. Try to see if you can see mine now.

I love it! My fav part is that it tracks your protein and nutrients too. Very helpful for me. TexasNurseMom is my user name

I have been using MFP since I was able to eat solids. I would love befriending others.

Oh, sorry. I am ahuey on MFP.
