    it depends.

    it mostly helps me add to the list of foods that are healthy options. Lets me see things I may not have thought of eating.... options of more variety.

    I like to look at other people's diaries who are already in good shape. lol. Obviously it's working, right? haha. So those are motivational.

    I check them. I'll comment if their calories are major low. But I try to start a conversation, about foods they like that I do, or things I don't know what they are etc. I don't know if I'm inspired or just use it as a way to learn more about my friends.

    I also agree, any comment is a helpful comment. even the people who I know say "good job" to everyone.... it still helps me when I get that comment.

    I look at them sometimes but it's really more because I'm nosy than for motivation.

    ^ On top of the other reasons, this too!

    okay yeah, this is me. lol

    Motivating, and keeping mine open helps me stay accountable too.

    I view other's diaries and let them view mine so I can get ideas on what they eat and add more variety. I keep mine as public also for the accountability it helps me stay on track.

    It's a two way street. I keep mine open because it ensures that I keep myself accountable. I like to view my friend's diaries as they have some very tasty foods showing. I get some great ideas from them. And I like that other people do on occasions eat fast food or drink alcohol like I do. And sometimes I just love seeing that my NZ pals have had a NZ treat that I just can't buy here. Nostalgia. *Sigh*

    If you are looking at someone's profile, you can view their diary if you see a button that says "View Diary".

    It's good for some people. It can be motivating and inspiring, as well as inspiring some friendly competition. And your friend doesn't even have to know about that;) And as long as the friend has their diary set to public, he/she must not mind if you see!

    Great for food ideas, and sometimes it's just funny...Question: "Why am I not losing Weight?" ANswer: "Because you ate 2 pizzas today"

    I am all for viewing diaries (ideas on low cal and clean eat foods) and also would love any feedback on my own diary entries. I need to be called on the carpet when I eat something that is inappropriate for my goals and/or health. I also am always interested in other people's dietary beliefs. I've met so many enthusiasts on mfp- it's always neat to follow their personal ideals. Add me, diary users!!

    I like to see new ideas on what foods to eat. I like to see what my besties are eating too so I can help motivate them and they can motivate me if I take a turn in the wrong direction.
