    Most of the people I know WISH I would keep it to myself.

    hahahah! I'm sure people get sick of me!



    I tell everybody that will listen...

    My boyfriend definitely knows I am on MFP...he actually complains that I'm on it all the time. haha!

    My husand knows and complained the other night that I was on here for a while too haha.
    I'm pretty sure I've told my mom and sister and who ever else I'm close with. I don't have a reason to hide it. If anything it lets them know I'm trying to lose weight, so don't offer me crap when we go out! lol

    It was something I was suggested to join by my trainer, so my trainer and gym friends know I use it. My husband also joined for a while, but he's completely fallen off the wagon in regards to tracking.

    My partner knows, but none of my friends (except for one who's on here) know. If they knew, they'd just keep accusing me of being anorexic (which I am most definitely not). Yeah, good friends, huh? Hahaha.

    I tell people about MFP, but I would not be there friend on MFP. It's too personal.

    Nope, but I don't advertise I'm on here either. My husband and coworker joined when they saw how it was working for me and my neighbor and I were comparing calorie counting lifestyles and realized we were both on MFP. I am not ashamed, since it is working for me, it just doesn't come up in conversation.

    I'm definitely a closet MFP-er. I can't even bring myself to post a real pic -- what if someone out there knows me??!!

    I haven't told a sole that I'm using MFP. Just waiting for them to notice the changes. As of now, people seem to realize that I'm exercising more and I'm getting compliments that I'm looking better/toner etc. Nobody really knows that I'm "dieting" though, except my wonderful friends on MFP !!

    Everybody & their Grandma knows I'm on MFP!!! I could be the spokesperson for this website... I am constantly talking about it, constantly reading the forums, I am consistently logging.. I've gotten a few people to sign up that had never even heard of the website. I LOVE MFP & it is no secret! :laugh:

    My husband is a member, but I deleted him from my friends list when he stopped logging in :laugh: My best friend is an active member, as are a couple of my other friends.

    My fiance knows and is super supportive. I have shared it with several friends who are wanting to lose weight and a couple have even joined.

    My Hubby knows, I also have about ten real friends on here who workout with me, a cousin and two best friends. The problem is I wish it was my secret, LOL.

    So funny you posted this.

    I didn't tell ANYONE I was on it for a long time. I think since I was already in the "healthy" weight range (at the top of it!) I thought my friends would think I was being really stupid or superficial. I JUST told my boyfriend about it a few months ago, I've been dating him 5 years, and on here since Aug 2010! :-P

    I am somewhat competitive - so my friends do a huge calorie burn and it posts to MFP - makes me want to go do an even bigger burn. No secrets here, my mom was my first MFP friend.

    No i have not told anyone, i have just told my mom i have it just because i wanna see what calories i eat, not because i am looking to lose weight.
    Reason i have not told people- I hate hearing oh you look just fine stop being so insecure....

    Basically, this. I get the comments about 'not needing to lose weight' (thanks, but I'm doing this for myself as I intensely dislike my body) and if anyone knew I was on a site like this, proverbial would hit the fan. Not because I'm unhealthy; but because even when I was 2 stone overweight I was still 'fine' and didn't 'need to lose anything'.

    This is my "zone" & I don't want anyone from my personal life invading it.

    My bf knows as he's also on here, and so do a few of my friends that I told about the site when I found out that they were trying to lose weight.

    It was something I was suggested to join by my trainer, so my trainer and gym friends know I use it. My husband also joined for a while, but he's completely fallen off the wagon in regards to tracking.

    My husband joined in the beginning too and is not even interested, hasn't been in a while. I finally just deleted him off my friends list lol. He does not watch what he's eating/drinking at all...so this place will be just for me :) Which is kind of nice anyway...it's a place I can come where I have a lot in common with so many people and it is kind of my getaway haha. Hey, when you're a mom and wife, you'll take whatever kinda "me" time you can get!

    My wife knows, most of my friends know, but when I first joined I didn't say much about it \m/

    I thought it was just an iPhone ap for the longest time. I had no idea that this place existed. I'm glad I finally found it. There are a lot of real nice people here.

    It's not a secret for me. I'm actively trying to lose weight and give credit to this site all the time. Plus my exercise and end of the day stats show up on facebook. It's because of those things that some of my IRL friends who don't live close to me anymore have joined the site and are starting their getting-healthy journies!!!

    My husband knows, and my sisters know... some people I work with know because they're also trying to lose weight/get fit. However my sister is the only person on my mfp that I know in real life-- I like it that way.

    I told my wife (who is now a member) and my workout partner (who is now a member), but not the rest of my friends or family.

    NO way! My husband says that they should put me on the payroll because I tell everyone about it. I know of at least 15 people in my personal life who are now members of this site. I tell everyone about it

    The SO kinda, sorta knows. THe rest of the world does not. Mainly because I look like a person who does not have weight to lose and don't like being told what I should and should not strive for. XD
