That is horrible. I haven't seen that as badly here as on Facebook. I stopped going on Facebook cause Id have all these messages from men saying heh, I live the next town over from you. When my profile plainly states I'm married.

This is why my diary is private, even to friends.
yup! Why I do it as well.
Then you'll see the many threads where ppl are dumbfounded as to why ppl 'hide' their food diaries... they can't understand what we are hiding. How about nothing, just privacy from the folks you all are talking about.

CoffeeNCardio. You are so funny. That's why you're one of my favorite friends. You would never tell me what I can and can't eat!!
Thank you! I do draw the line at like, high octane jet fuel. That's when you'll get worried PM's from me k?0 -
That's weird
Nobody has ever commented on my diary and if they did I would wonder what planet they were on

Why would someone give advice that wasn't asked upon? Oh.and those macro nuts… They even criticize if one eats too much or little of a food group! They think they're saving the world.
However.. i find open diaries a kind gesture and it is so interesting to see how everyone loses weight eating their own way.0 -

I think the same about open diaries. I often click profiles just to get new ideas of things I might not have tried or don't use much. The more options I have, the better. And the macro debates will rage for eternity I think. Especially when it comes to protein and carbs!0 -

Well now that you bring it up, I have peeked at your diary a few times. The lack of any taco related ingredients concerns me. I think you need help with your diet! [/quote]
You are obviously destined to be my MFP husband.

I must admit, there was a delay in my response for legitimate reasons. I'm not easily fooled by good looks, and as such had to first consult the taco thread before any serious consideration here.
But as the first taco eating response on that thread, I'm really into this idea now!
It would be interesting to start a thread on a daily meal plan - "what did you eat today" type thing that shows how much variety can result in a balanced diet. I feel bad for people that deprive themselves of the tasty stuff. Yesterday I made chicken and tilapia tacos with both black and refried beans, and they were killer. And I got to stuff my face with them since I had gone on a decent bike ride.

Yeah. I feel sorry for the people who start to sound fearful and almost orthorexic. I'm doing all this so I can wear smaller jeans over a longer, healthier life punctuated by even MORE opportunities to enjoy champagne & tacos, thankyouverramuch0 -
Sometimes I am afraid of what my friends here think of my monotonous and often unhealthy diary. I just hope nobody looks at it.

I am on low calories but only because my Doctor has told me to restrict my calories to 1000 - I only wish I could eat a little more!

Stuff like this is kind of why I deleted my old account and now just use MFP to log.
No offense to the helpful people, but if you know what you're doing and don't need help after a while it gets a bit much. And I'm a very private person.0 -

I tend to not accept friends that don't "think" like me. No crazy dieters, no one who's gonna tell me all that beer is bad (the 2 things you will see on my Food Diary EVERYDAY is Beer and Cereal and I'm losing just fine and still enjoying my life). I'd unfriend, unless they were really trying to help. Someone you've had on there and talked to for a long time.0

It wouldn't bother me unless the PMs were obviously intended to be abusive.
If I got the hump with my friends because they had different opinions to me and cut them loose I wouldn't have many friends left. Some of my friends are even conservatives *shudder*0 -

Me too, and that is the other way off my list. Log 800 calories of lettuce, then post a 5 hour workout, and do that every day for months... yeah, no.
Yep this. Had someone close their diary recently because I commented on their undereating (nicely with science). Diet content is none of my business and I'm in no position to be sanctimonious on that front. But I can't keep quiet about dangerously low intake.
There's someone who really struggles staying on track, their diary only has calorie dense fast food items/coffee/soda but they have never asked for advice on their food so I have never offered it. They get such little bang for their calorie buck the way they eat but I don't give unsolicited advise on diet content.
I have never had anyone say anything about my diary either but then I don't close mine out at the end of the day, it's not a habit I have and I don't need to see that "in 5 weeks" nonsense so I guess people aren't prompted by a status to look at my diary.0 -
It's depends on the tone of the message. I have my diary open to friends, so feedback is welcome. I'd probably just thank them for their suggestions and leave it at that.0

I've never had anyone do this to me, the only comments I ever get, or make, are things like, "dinner sounds yummy!" Or "red wine and white wine? Couldn't make up your mind?"
I do have a theory about this though. Did you gain these friends through one of the solicitation posts on the forums? You know, "Seeking Friends With Open Diaries" or "Looking For Supportive Friends"? I've always wondered if people connect through those kind of posts if they think it gives them the right to comment on what others eat?0 -

Ok well if one of my friends complains about hitting a plateau, I assume that they're asking for help, and check their diary (although my first question for women is always 'is your period due soon?', lol), and I might post something about it (if logging isn't precise, I never comment about what they eat, just about eating enough protein if they complain that they are hungry).
For the rest, yeah, I've deleted people over this. Now my diary is closed and it's going to stay that way, I think.0 -

No I didn't. I send requests to people who seem funny, supportive of others, or who I think have similar lives. Sometimes I friend request because we are women of similar age.
I generally accept all friends requests unless their photos turns me off. No bro six packs. No boobs pushed together in a seductive pose.
I figure, see how the new friend works out, because you can always delete later.
