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 also. I'm pretty sure my name on there is Spoiltmom.

I'll definitely add the rest of you. I LOVE my fitness pal!

Great thank you!

I set my diary to be seen by "Friends." Is anyone else willing to do that too?

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 can see it...thanks! I set mine to share with Friends Only so you should be able to see it too.

Thanks Vickyd! I just think it'll help us all with meal choices, ideas, etc.

just signed up! Awesome site. Is there any way to adjust the calories per day? It's telling me to eat 1700... and I'm trying to stick to 1100-1200.

I'm jingleboob on there too!

I keep trying to figure that out also. I'd like to adjust the calories but I can't figure out how.

I'd love to buddy up with all you guys on MFP! I'm on there as chloes_countdown.

I think I've hit a plateau...oh no......

Go to My Home, then Goals (underneath). Click Change Goals at the bottom of the page. You can choose Guided or Custom. I chose Guided and put in 1200 cals per day. I hope this helps.

Thank you! I've been trying to figure that out for a month now.

Hey, I love MFP!! I love the food dairy and once I can actually EAT again, I plan on using it! I got a lot of banders on their also they stood up for me when a know it all tried to be a bully to me!!! They're a great group and very protective!!! I have relied on MFP a lot through this process!!

I love that myfitnesspal app. It holds me accountable better than a written food journal. I'm 2 weeks post band so this is all still new to me. I would love to have partners on there to hold me accountable as well. My user id is ktfrogger.

hello everyone,

i am new here and just created a MFP account. i would love to have some friends! i was banded 2/22 and my first fill is 4/11.

my MPF username is TheJonesyGirl.

thanks

Hi everyone,

I just registered for myfitnesspal.com (leilaniessence) and would love to find more bandsters on there! I hear that people keep their food journals "public" and think that would be a great way to start getting ideas. I'm still in the liquid phase for another 1-2 weeks, so I'm afraid I won't be much help (YET), but eventually I'll get there

Let me know if it would be okay to friend you!

You can friend me but I'm in the same stage you are....not sure if I will be of any help, but we can fight the liquid beast together!!! Maybe even get ideas from what we each eat, etc.???
