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 don't understand how all this works. Can someone explain it to me? I went there, and I couldn't see how you interact with friends, etc. I can only see where I log in my food.

I don't have a smart phone. I use a lap top.

I use my phone and my laptop and sometimes desktop. When you go to the site, you should originally see your "home" which has a menu on the left side with "track food" "track exercise' etc - then in the middle of that page you should see a box with your calories & such and under that is a "news feed" if you have friends on there, the news feed will show different things about the friends like when we enter exercise or finish our food log for the day or weigh in.

To add friends, it is kind of tricky. You have to go to the Community Tab and then there is a little sub menu where you choose "find members" - when that loads, there is a spot where you can put in someone's user name to find them & then you have to click "add friend" to actually send an add request.

I hope that helps.

By the way, I'm mygastricsleevelife there.

Robindei - lol - no problem! I love computers & enjoy walking people through things like this. :-)

Wheetsin - thanks for consolidating the list!! I tried adding you earlier, but it said your name didn't exist there. I just copied & pasted from your earlier post, but maybe it was being picky or something!

Hmm that's weird, I've been added (from someone on this thread before). I'm trying to add everyone now, but apparently there's a limit of 5 new friend requests per 10 minutes. Grr...

I'm definitely Wheetsin there... let me see if I can add you.

Sent, LMK if you get it.

Thanks for this Wheetsin. I just made a post asking if it can be pinned so we have one central location to add MFP usernames too. They could pin this one since you consolidated the names so far. However, if they pin mine, we can copy and paste your list there.

BTW, I'm BackToAmy on MFP

I am newtonya2012 on mfp.

Hi my user name is mznikibaby I have only been sleeved for 3wks

Sent, LMK if you get it.

Yep. Got it.

Yeah, that limit of 5 per 10 minutes is annoying, but I guess it's to help ward off spam requests. I played a game on my laptop while I added them & kept going back every few minutes to add more. :-)

Bre1621 add me!
