So, how many of you actually view diaries before you comment on them, and how many of you comment without reading them?
I'll admit, I've done it!

I've done it too :blushing:
But I usually always look at it!0 -
sorry, I'm old school, I ask before I view, and then reply if they want me to...all about MACROS and deficits, well and flirting, having fun, dropping fat, and some more good stuff...0
-
I have but only if I was sitting at a red light and didn't have the time. If I am at home, ballpark, cheer practice, etc. I read them before commenting0
-
I stalk all the diarys.0
-
Why would anyone comment without reading it first??? insane.0
-
Haha! I do actually view them. Last week one of my friends commented on my "great day".... Yeah, I went over in all categories and was over in calories by close to 2,000. He obviously was guilty of not looking at it. :laugh:0
-
I always look at them. Actually get a meal idea from time to time.0
-
How'bout the opposite? I look at them but don't usually bother to comment unless I see something out of the ordinary0
-
pretty sure Meredith knows I'd ask before looking, and definitely before touching; oh the diary right right right! Stupid me! Yes you need to look before you ask.0
-
I normally always look but will once in a while give a shout out if I see it says they were under.0
-
I won't respond to a completed diary post without looking at it, and if the diary is closed, I don't comment at all.
Just because someone is under doesn't mean they had a good day, and just because they are over doesn't mean they had a bad day.
I rarely comment on diary completions unless something stands out in a positive way, like a yummy sounding meal.0 -
9/10 I read them. Id feel really dumb if it was all crap and I was congratulating them LOL0

This is me. I don't like to cheer people on if they aren't looking after themselves . Eg under eating . I understand some don't eat exercise calories and stuff, but when someone eats 1000 calories only, or way under their goal ( not even looking at net) I can't congratulate them on that. Also if I don't have time, I don't have time.0 -
I always look. What if you're supporting someone's eating disorder? It takes but a second to have a peek at the diary.0
-
May sound a bit like a stalker but I always read diaries as well as a bit of the person's bio to get an idea of their goals and reasons for wanting to lose weight before commenting.0
-
sometimes i view them0
-
I look at them unless I'm just really running short on time, etc. But I don't really comment on individuals food choices....my "good jobs" and "way to gos" are more geared at saying "proud of you for logging whatever you ate!"0
