I just am amazed at how many people have hidden food diaries? Why?

    A lot of people don't want to be judged for what they eat. You'd know the answer since your diary is closed.

    Because I find I am more honest if I keep it private.
    I don't need feedback on my diary. I've been around long enough and am accountable enough to myself that I know exactly where to look for problems when I stop losing weight.

    Unless I am asking for advise concerning what I am eating, why would I make it public? Why is you food diary not public?

    You DO know we can't see yours? What are you hiding?

    And a lot of us aren't "boasting" about exercise. I like to see what my friends did that day because I watch their progress and look for tips/new exercises.

    I closed mine for a while because people were being too judgmental.

    Exercise automatically updates to my knowledge. In regards to hiding a food diary, it's no one's business unless the person wants to make it public/available to confirmed friends.

    You can change the setting but the default is to post it. As the default is to have a closed diary.

    To be honest, my interest in my friend feed is primary the fitness end. I never check friend's food diaries but I do like to see other's workouts and race reports. I also like feedback on my workouts.

    I let my friends see it, but not any random person. That is because there are all sorts of trolls on here who will slag you off for any old excuse they can find, and I just don't feel like being bothered with them.
