    So glad to see some one finally address this. Mine is lose and loose. You lose weight and your clothes get loose. Typos are one thing but butchering the language is a pet peeve

    I agree with some of these. It doesn't set to Open, it defaults to closed so if you don't know, you don't know.

    Also, I agree with another poster. A friend of mine has some serious gastro problems, so she uses the notes to document her bowel movements. Not exactly everybody's business!!

    I had mine set to friends only for a long time. Just recently changed it. But really, who but encouraging frineds should be creeping my food diary anyway???

    I am not sure why people hide there food diary as advice can help and lets be honest if your fat and overweight like i was you need to be honest with yourself.

    This might seem harsh but come on people I found being honest with myself one of the biggest steps. I use to lie how fat I was to people and myself.

    Some people do not want feedback from others. This is not the same thing as "not being honest with yourself" in all cases.

    I will give you one example: I have a friend with an eating disorder. She does not like to be ridiculed by people who truly do not understand her battles. Locking her food diary prevents this.

    I'm sharing this with you for context. You may need accountability or commentary. Other people may not, and that's not a bad thing.

    I actually agree with you. I have mine visible to friends. The people I am "Friends" with on here are people I know and people who are motivational to me. This is y fitness PAL so I thought that was the point of this, to get and give motivation to others. I also like that other people see mine, because it makes me think twice about eating things LOL.

    I thought i t was an MFP Blood Sport - it HAS to be deliberate doesn't it? Could it be some attempt at Irony? No one should be allowed to attempt irony unless they have been either born to it or trained.
