HRM and Blood Pressure Monitor?
Hello MFP community! I recently purchased a Fitbit Flex and hence found MFP. I have looked around for a HRM and have found several that seem suitable.

How To Add Friends
How do you add friends when you only have their ID? They have not connected via Facebook and I don't have their email address. Just an ID, but I don't see how to enter that... Thanks!

Closing your diary for the day
I am just curious as to when most people close their food diary for the day. I usually close my at night before I go to bed. Do you pre-log and close early? Do you wait until the next morning? Or, like me, before you go to bed?
