Looking for more friends willing to share their food diary! Believe me, I will not judge.

in Introduce Yourself
I know we all have good days and bad when it comes to eating right and eating healthy and just starting out I am terrible and learning everyday trying to improve. I do truly find it helpful when people post suggestions and tips but why is it that not many people share their diary? I truly find it so helpful to see how other people are eating to see how I can improve my foods. It is also a good way for me to find good ideas for recipes, etc. and how to change up my sometimes "stale" menu. Sometimes I just like to find new and good snacks! I find it helpful to compare my diary and figure out which types of food I need to include or eliminate. I am just starting out, try to eat 1200 calories, have about 60 pounds to lose and am 56 years old. It's only been about a month and have only lost 6 lbs so I will be here for a long time and hope to make it a lifelong goal. Anyone with similar needs, weight loss goals or age willing to be fiends and share their diary?

    You can add me. My diary is open, but I admit I eat a lot. Usually 1700 cal/per day. I have a weakness for wine, chocolate and fast food (on occasion)! Aside from those I eat fairly healthy and cook quite a bit. I'm always looking for ideas for meals.

    I didn't really have any clue I could make my food diary visible to anyone.
    (ok, I'll admit that, until last week, I didn't even realize there were forums, there)
    You can creep-up on my diary, if you want. lol. I don't mind.

    As I think of it...I should go in and see if I can make all my recipes visible, too.
    I'm a very good cook. I'd be happy to share.

    My diary is open for exactly this reason! And I'm quite happy for people to comment on my intake, ask questions or compare. Feel free to add me; I've started (again) 5 days ago..

    My diary is open. I am also consuming 1200 calories a day. Started out a little rocky in Nov 2014, but improved in Dec. Entries are inconsistent, but when I was consistent, I achieved some weight loss. You are welcome to add me.

    figured out how to open my diary to friends only. So now, I need friends! Please send me a friend request if you're interested. I'm 51 and trying to lose 20 pounds. I've been trying since September with absolutely no success. Frustrated!

    You are welcome to take a peek at mine (open to friends only). For what it's worth, I vary my intake: I've found that if I eat at a consistently low level, my body quickly adjusts, and I don't lose any weight. So, some days I'm at the very bottom of my range, and some days a bit higher.

    What can I say? It works for me!

    I'll share. I'm 40+, have lost 10 and maintained it for 4 months, and aim to lose 25 more (my doctor approves). Would love to have the support & insight!

    Hi! Feel free to add me, too. I lost most of my weight in 2013 to early 2014 and seem to be in maintenance now, eating about 1200. I agree -- I wish more people would open their food diary for just the same reason. I got a great recipe for Carrot Potato Quinoa soup from one of my friends. It's also good to see how others work "treats" into their days.
