One Week In - Need Friends

in Introduce Yourself
Hi Folks,

I discovered MFP last weekend and I have to say this program is phenomenal. The Android App rocks especially with the BC Scanner. Living in Ontario Canada, I'm quite impressed as to how many brands scan ~ totally makes logging a breeze.

Any hoot! I'm looking for motivating friends that use this daily! :smile:

Also, quick question - is there a way to report inaccurate nutritional values? TIA

    Hey Thieka,

    Way to go for finding MFP! As far as reporting inaccurate nutritional values go, when you are on the website and you search for something, say a coke zero, it shows you a list of possible matches. Click on one of the matches, and some information will show up to the right of the list. Under the name of the item on the right there is some text called "nutritional info". Click on that and there is a button you can select for the data being inaccurate and you can change it. I haven't changed anything since I've used MFP but that is how it's done. Phew.

    As for friends I would be happy to have another motivated friend, I use MFP daily, log everything, my diary is open to my friends and I enjoy supporting my pals.

    Good luck on your voyage to better health!

    Aha! Thanks for letting me know about the correcting of N Facts. I'm primarily using the Android App and there's not an option. Now I know that I can update via the main website!

    Hey theika - I have been tracking myself for awhile now but i am a "newbie" ... you can add me ... it would be awesome to have new friends to encourage ... :wink: .... i am on face book a couple of times a day checking in with MFP (although i have to be honest i haven't been on in awhile) ... so i have to get back into gear ... and to have someone who is on all the time would be just the ticket ... if i could add anyone else that would be awesome too :happy: ....

    Hi.
    I am from Alberta and would like to have some motivating friends as well! I am not sure how to "friend" you, but I would be interested. I do not have any friends yet on here and have been using the logs, but am pretty new to the message boards. I try to log in daily, but I do have a crazy busy lifestyle and so there are days that I do miss. I do need motivation as I have a tendency to have my ups and downs with food. I would call it a bipolar relationship, I guess. I really want to eat healthy, but have gaps of lack of self control, where I seem to try every junk food group there is. I try to be a really positive person, though, and will definitely root you on!
