Ok, so I'm one of those people who like to workout. I just need some help in the food department. Has anyone used MFP coach? What do they offer exactly? What are their qualifications? Thanks in advance! :)

    Welcome. :)

    Never heard of one. Have you read the stickies at the top of the weight loss forums? They are like a virtual coach. :)

    You may have been misinformed.

    There's a review online on it from January, seems positive but complains that the whole of the app wasn't available and that there were glitches. Considering MFP doesn't seem to be pimping it and there isn't much online about it, I'd be inclined to avoid it.

    Or is that just one of the evil advertisements abusing MFP's name?

    I wonder who these coaches are.

    Googling it says John Wooden and Jerry Tarkanian are two of them.

    Yes! After all, it's MFP coaches! They must be worth it! Wait a minute, how much are they and where is their information? I smell a rat . . .

    Does this come with premium membership? Just looking at the screen grab from your app and I do not have that option

    It's under the more tab on my home page (right hand side). Then it under the tab that says coach with a whistle by it. Just wanted to see if any one is using it currently, and what they think of the service?

    Considering how much they pimp stuff out on here, I find it weird that barely anyone has heard of it....

    I don't have that option. It's probably new as they have been adding stuff and upgrading constantly since being bought by under armour. I would personally skip it-at least until it's a full release and they get the bugs out. I wouldn't want to pay for something so new

    I am with Alatariel75, they pimp stuff like crazy on this site and yet I haven't seen that... That screams either something is off or its so new that I wouldn't want to be their guinea pig and pay for it (mind you if they are just testing it and offered it free of cost I might be inclined to try lol)

    Are you a paying MyFitnessPal member? Many of us just use the free service. Please clarify

    I think this thread would be the perfect opportunity for someone at MFP that has knowledge of what this whole coach thing is all about to popped in and tell us about it

    One would think so

    I would be absolutely gobsmacked if something like that ever happened. Apart from a couple of volunteer mods I have never seem any response to any question ever asked from tech fails to ...well tech fails

    A *daily* diary audit?? How much would this cost vs how involved would the feedback be? Is this dietician going to work with clinical populations outside of the geographic area they're licensed in?

    I feel like the liability could be huge. Tons of people on here have diabetes, etc, and maybe they're not all going to say as much

    I found some information on it via a blog that I stumbled upon. It looks like it was rolled out as of yet and some people were randomly selected. So guess still in the trial phase and that's why there is limited information.
