Yes yes! I was about to post questions about this too! I would like to know what other people can "see" on your profile? Can they see your weight or food you've logged? or just the results? I don't really want everyone up in ALL of my business...just some of it maybe.

Only your friends can see your profile and they can only see your food diary if you change your settings to "friends" instead of "private" I hope that helps.

I use My Fitness Pal and I keep my food diary public. It will track your weight (Progress), what you eat, whether you are getting in the daily RDA of vitamins, and your exercise. I keep my diary public because it keeps me accountable. Looking at other people's food diaries also gives you ideas for food you can eat.

Poor Kathy- Someone tell her how to sign up....I didn't mean to hijack.....

dooter - don't worry about the "highjacking" it was a short flight!

Kathy, what is your MFP user name? I will send you a friend request. We can all work through this together.

:biggrin5:

Sometimes you'll have to look through some of the options to get different measurements i.e. "can", or "oz". If the option they give you is 8 oz and you only had 4 oz, then you adjust the amount to .5 of a serving.

It's a little tricky at first but soon you'll get the hang of it. You may not always get the exact product or item that you had but the point is to log your food and keep track of what you're doing. Accountability is key!

Good luck and ask all the questions you want....that's what we're all here for!

by the way - you can add me too, my handle is Sleevie Wonder.
