in Introduce Yourself
Hi I'm a returning MFP user with a goal to lose about 30 to 40 pounds. I usually add what I eat and activities to my diary. Im a pretty healthy eater an "almost"vegan as far as what I do and dont eat. Although I try to avoid labels. I use a polar calorie counter for accuracy. I'm 5'7 and just trying to stay in tune with myself and be positive L
looking for some pals to keep myself more accountable.

Finding people on here isn't as easy as it used to be.

    Hi. I am also in the “back at it” club. I have lost 98 pounds and still going. Also eating a blue zone vegan diet using IF which has helped tremendously. Feel free to add me if you would like but either way, all the best on achieving your goals.

    Be Well,

    Hi there! That is a very achievable goal! Feel free to add me as well, to help motivate you in your journey ! I typically check my friends’ statuses every night to see if they’re still logging :)

    Hi. You can add me as well. I'm just getting back to MFP after 2 years. I lost 60 lbs 3 years ago and put back 40 ever since I stopped tracking. I'm looking for accountability buddies.

    Hi I would like to be included in your group!
    I am new to MFP. Came from Noom. Would like to know lore about the “polar” process you use for food management.

    Do you use a cell phone when accessing the app? I find that's easier to navigate.

    Go to friends then requests should show somewhere then click the check mark to accept or x to decline

    All those words didn't help me, but I found a video on YouTube that shows the phone screen steps:

    I'm going to try the same things from the "Friends" page on the desktop version. First go to the "Friends" page with the button on your Home page (see the image below)

    I tried adding you as a friend from the mobile app, and I sent you a message in the MFP desktop app. Maybe that makes us contacts who can add each other?

    Found a better source and I think it worked! Go to the "Help" option at the top of your "HOME" page:

    Once there, choose the "Social Features" button, and look for the question "How do I invite a current member to be my friend on MyFitnessPal?". It give detailed directions how to do it from several different places in the site.

    See my message just above this one (I hope) about getting the steps from the website help. Worked for me, I think I invited you just now.
