    Made mine public for now. My biggest problem is logging at all. I don't always have access to internet and I refuse to upgrade to a smartphone. That will only happen when the regular phones are completely obsolete. lol

    Not sure how this will work...I checked the 5 names above mine and they all have closed diaries as of now.

    do you have a smartphone or a tablet? There are apps for MFP :)

    I adjusted my previous post to answer that. :smile: I very reluctantly adjust to new technology. I guess I feel like why bother? Once I get this or that it will be obsolete in a month when the next new thing is here.

    lol you aren't totally wrong, but I find that if you wait until it is established technology you'll likely be happy with it for a few years until you are eligible to upgrade again lol :) There may be newer things but you can still be happy with yours :)

    I am still happy with mine a year later :) But I totally get where you are coming from :)

    well mine is public now, not loving doing this because I like the privacy but I will give it a try :)

    If anyone needs someone to critique, feel free to use mine. It seems like there's quite a few people aren't participating. I'm not saying my diary is the best, but it's out there. Just shoot a friend request.

    Added the person that's above me(just joined today!) as of now(it will probably change soon, though as the list updates)... will see how this challenge goes! (Diary already public & open :) )

    Ok really stupid question here, when we critique are we supposed to use this thread or just send them a message, sorry I am new to this!

    Ok mine is now public *eep* I guess everyone is going to know about my Jatz addiction now :P

    Also went up this week by just over 1/2 a pound boo but lost 2 inches so I am taking that as a win.

    Sorry friends, just checking the board now. Switched to public. :wink:

    Unfortunately, the person above me hasn't weighed in since starting the challenge. I'll see if I can track them down.

    I sent a request to the person above me, but haven't heard back yet and they haven't weighed in.

    I also haven't heard back from the person above me, and the person below me doesn't seem to be active on this board either. So if anyone wants to critique my food diary, let's go :embarassed:

    This challenge is really great, because it makes you aware of your diet. But seems like a lot of people are not really active :(

    Ahh this scares me! I know I eat wayyyyy too much fast food. If you look at my last two days...all I have eaten was fast food :( Guess this is the new take on dog shaming...people shaming :(

    Every day, I want you to look at the person's diary that is listed above you on the spreadsheet from the day before. I want you to give them one thing that they could have improved on and one thing that you see that they have done good on.

    I know you started this challenge, but I think most people know what they do wrong - and beat themselves up about it. I think people on here usually need more positive comments - what they did well, or something gentle like you did 4 glasses of water, yeah! Now see if you can do 5 tomorrow!!
    Just my 2 cents...

    And then we can friend that person above us and my diary is already open to friends.

    Well, I messaged them directly and made my diary public. Neither have I received reply from the person above - nor has anyone commented on my diary... lets see..:ohwell:

    THis challenge is working great for me because it has gotten me back to tracking :). Sent a message to my person on the list. Have a great day all! Hugs, Amy :)

    i don't think the person above me or below me on the list is active - but message has been sent!

    My diary has always been open - if someone else isn't getting comments and wants to trade comments with me, just give a shout.

    I have had contact with the person above me, but no one has messaged me about mine. If someone needs someone I would love the input, you can be critical..just in a nice way please! I had one really bad day its obvious, I know it was bad I am really looking for pointers on my days where I am staying within my limits. TIA!

    I sent a note to the person above me.

    I don't think the person below me is active, but I would love for someone to comment on mine. Feel free to look me up if the person above you isn't active. Thanks!

    The people above and below me seem to not be active in the challenge. I just recently started back up with MFP and haven't really started adding friends yet. I'd love some support and encouragement and I will certainly reciprocate! So if anyone would like to comment for the challenge and/or looking for friends...feel free to add me :flowerforyou:

    Happy Monday - a new day!!! :) I haven't heard from the person below me (hasn't weighed in the past 2 weeks) - and the person above me hasn't made their diary public. They didn't weigh in for 6/7 yet either. I will send her a PM. My diary is open, if anyone wants to take a look. Please don't judge me for this past weekend --- all my choices were awful!!! I did get some workouts in though!!! :)

    Good Luck to all!!!
