Spouse, SO's, others.... are they on your list?
Curiosity Question: How many of you have your spouse, SO, GF/BF, family, etc. on your friends list? Or do you keep this as your own space? I currently only have a MFP friends and some real life friends but my husband is wanting to join MFP and wants to be "friends" 
:bigsmile: I haven't decided yet!
Edited to add: Also, I'd be doing the logging for him, he just really wants it as reference. He won't stick with it if he's have to log it himself. I'm not sure how involved he'd get here but you never really know!

Deleted the husband. Kept the boy toy.0

I have all of them on my FL.0

My husband is on my friends list here and FB. I have no reason not to have him on it. I also have to log his food. LOL0

All my family people are overweight and unhealthy and does not wanna do anything about it. If they would I could add them, I don't mind. I honestly don't get why people mind. Are you afraid that your husband might see something he does not like, like you flirting with other guys on your wall or something?0

thumbs up for all the toy boys0 -
Why would you not want your SO on your list? Unless you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing anyway and have something to hide then I can't see any reason not to.0

No, nothing like that. MFP is just kind of a place for "ME" on my journey to healthy. I'm trying to figure out why I wouldn't want him here, but it's more like MFP is my "alone time" with it all. Not sure that makes sense.0 -

Are you also going to spoon feed him? Work out for him?0 -
Two of my daughters are on my friend's list.0
-
Mine isn't on here and if he ever joined, it would mean a visit to the ER to make sure he was feeling OK since it's totally out of character for him to do that.
But if he did (and was perfectly healthy after all) I would add him.0 -

You know your Spouce and SO are eventually going to find out about me, right?I have all of them on my FL.0 -

I let him read over my shoulder whenever he wants to, whether on the phone or at the computer....0 -

I don't have anyone that I know IRL on MFP. I like it that way. I can be myself more here than anywhere. I most certainly would not put my husband on MFP. But it's not like he's likely to start working on his weight issues, anyway.0 -

So you understand! Food for thought, thanks!0 -

Not with that profile picture, they won't...0 -

HAHAHA!!! that's how I felt when he mentioned he should start paying attention and tracking on "that fitness site you use".
I'll most likely add him, I have nothing to hide... I'd just be giving up this one space that is ALL ME.0 -
Send him to bodybuilding.com to hang out with the brahs0

Maybe they just want to do/have something that doesn't have to involve their husband/SO/friends/family, nothing wrong with having your own space.
I would find it suffocating not to have my own space. We don't have to share every iota of our lives with people we know.0 -
I would have my hubs on my FL if he were on MFP, I've got nothing to hide. He sees everything I do on here anyway. I wouldn't log his food for him, though. He's a big boy and if he's not willing to do the work, he's not going to be successful in the long run anyway. I'm not going to be his momma.0
-
Why WOULDNT you want him/her on your list? I'd give anything to have my RL friends/BF on here, active, engaged and interested in this journey. Don't get me wrong, I love my far-away MFP buddies, but some in-person support would be great!0
-
My husband is not in MFP, but if he was he probably will not be in my friend’s list; I like my space.
Besides, I WOULD NOT BE LOGGING HIS FOOD. Part of the success is to log ourselves everything that we eat and be responsible for our choices. If he would be interested in losing wt, he would have to do all the ground work, just like I am doing.0 -
I think it is the best thing in the world that you can get your SO on the same journey. My BF is not using MFP, however, we are doing this together. We are in on each other's weight loss progress (or no progress for that matter).
He is probably the only person in the world from who I will not hide when I overeat. More than I could have ever said about anyone.
So if your SO wants to be on here. Let him in. It is so much better when you are supporting each other.0 -

Then don't do it, it's not about 'hiding' anything it's about having something for yourself only.0 -

PLUS: how many people do you see on here... SO sabotages me, I wish BF would join me, I wish my GF wouldn't pick on me for logging... I wish my husband would run with me... I wish my GF would join me so we don't have to buy separate groceries..... IMO having BF/GF/Husband/Wife join you in this would be amazing!0 -
Sounds to me that you not get enough "alone time" in your life. Everybody has right for some. I'm getting mine from work.but it's more like MFP is my "alone time" with it all. Not sure that makes sense.0 -

^^This. I don't add any family members either. They don't need to know this side of me.0 -

Well, with mine it's more that 1.) he doesn't really do social media AT ALL and 2.) He really, really, really doesn't need to lose weight. He actually loses weight "accientally" all the time. Sometimes I want to punch him. lol0
