Welcome,

I think these two links are extremely helpful and can help you get the most out of MFP:

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1234699/logging-accurately-step-by-step-guide/p1

http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

The first covers accurate logging and some of the tools in MFP to help you make things easier. The second discusses caloric needs and setting goals. This one is a little heavier but if you take the time to digest it there is alot of very valuable information there. These two posts completely changed my MFP experience and helped me be much more successful, so I hope they do the same for you.

~Best wishes on your journey

On the app, you just go to Friends, click the + symbol, select Email, then fill out the form with "kiishagirl" or whoever you want to add using their username or email. If they don't have an account, MFP will send them a link to sign up. (What a great way to send someone a hint to lose weight. )

About privacy: Make sure you have most options set to "friends only." I don't share my diaries openly. Just a few good friends makes the whole process of losing weight much easier.
