(Side note - you are not really a ninny, but I got your attention!)

Update your settings to show friends your food log. Studies show people who do this have a better chance at eating healthier and losing more weight because their friends hold them accountable.

It's science. :glasses:

Well maybe not, but it helps me and I want it to help you too!

    Mine is open. It might not be the greatest, but it is what it is.

    But you've lost so much weight - kudos! Something must be working right for you!

    My food is kind of boring - Oreos, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, brownies, Burger King, pizza - you know, just sensible food.


    okay, so I'm really sticking to low carbs on account of a recent diagnosis of diabetes. Really run of the mill healthy stuff for the most part (and some not so healthy in moderation).

    Nope. Someone would stage an intervention if they saw my food log.

    I'm glad that it helps you to keep your diary public. It doesn't help me. In fact, it causes me more stress and anxiety than I was able to handle. My therapist and I agree that keeping my diary private is the best way for me to continue on with my dieting without breaking into tears about it twice a week.

    Mine is open, I like it when people give me advice on what I'm eating.

    Mine is currently public but I have been debating about making it private again for awhile. I have been struggling and not making the best choices. I find myself sometimes not wanting to log it because then others could see what I have been eating (food guilt). That isn't going to help me lose weight but being honest with myself will, so if I need to make it private for that to happen so be it. What works for one may not work for all.

    It's funny, I noticed that I had the ability to look at my friend's list. I think that's pretty cool. Too bad I don't have many friends. I only saw it on this one girl's that I just became friends with. The word 'ninny" makes me laugh. I have friends that refer to breasts as 'ninnies'.

    You guys are motivating. I just made mine public as well. :smile: I thought sharing with friends was good, but woah! Public. Now that's extreme.

    That's nice.
    Studies tell us different things all the time.

    Mine is open to my friends but it was private for awhile.

    In all reality, it's no one's business but mine.

    I unfriend anyone who does not have it open, food and exercise is the entire purpose of this site so if I can't see yours then how can I possibly offer any true advice, support, or critique.

    Unfortunately, a vast majority of the users on this site are NOT certified, trained, or otherwise experienced dieticians. Therefore, taking advice on my diet from most of the users here would be like taking structural engineering advice from my mailman.

    Plus, most of the active users on this forum are too busy rating/dating/dumping/criticizing or saying something otherwise useless about the person "above them".

    There's enough bad advice out there already, so I'm content to stick with my own, private research and will learn from my own mistakes.

    My diary is restricted to my friends, and my friends are restricted to people I trust and haven't shown themselves to be morons...

    I concur. That's the best thing to remember while striving to live healthier. One thing won't work for everyone. You have to find what works for you!

    Way to go on reaching half your goal by the way!:bigsmile:

    Nah. I lost 80 lbs before I joined MFP, I feel I can be successful without others holding me accountable for the way I eat. :)

    Different strokes, etc.

    My food diary is set to friends. Why have any friends on here if you're not going to share your diary? How else do you expect to get feedback and support about what your eating?

    I only lost the last 15 lbs on MFP.

    Pretty sure I can lose weight without having others berate me for my dietary choices.

    That being said, it's open to my FL, because my FL is awesome and I don't let judgmental jerks on my FL.

    Lost weight, reached goal, and is maintaining. Food log is not open and was not needed to be open for me to get here.

    If I have a question, I will ask. Otherwise it's no one's damn business what I'm eating.



    Edit: cause typo.
