    Go ahead take a look; I have nothing to hide. Did I eat a cupcake today... why yes I did. It was a mini one and under 100 calories and so so good and I loved every bite :love:

    I don't usually look through other diaries, but I may start now that I know everyone is looking at mine.

    Haha love it!

    Never thought of looking at other peoples diaries but I'm mostly looking at it on my phone anyways.
    Mine is public if anyone wants to take a look and have any critizisms or advice.

    I definitely look around at other people's food diaries. Mine has been open since i started and although some days I have more than others I'm usually pretty good :) I have gotten a few comments the past couple of days about not eating enough--but that's because I've been sick and just haven't wanted to eat all that much. I figure I'll go with what my body wants (and needs). Oh and I'm vegetarian, but I have had some eel sushi (it's my fave), anyway the point is if you want any of the random recipies I have just ask :smile:

    Yes, I absolutely do this. My reasons are different - I like getting ideas for new meals, food and snacks. So I like seeing what everyone else is eating. I have my diary open to my friends. And yes, I'm honest - even on the not good days, which thankfully I haven't had many in the past two weeks, because I had a bad weekend out of town. LOL

    The one thing that has bothered me for awhile, is why it seems so many people have their Diary private even to their friends. It just seems that if you are truly trying to lose weight, and you are truly trying to be healthy, you sure wouldn't care who was looking.

    At any rate, I love the diary feature. I love recording my stuff everyday. I love seeing the calories I have consumed and I have gotten a huge eye opener on how many calories are in some foods.

    Interesting topic. I have mine open to friends and am always welcoming friends. I'm till new here. But I agree that I like to look at others for ideas or something maybe I haven't thought of.


    Besides, it helps to make me accountable. I plug it all in. And yes, we all have our good & bad days. I want to see my reasons for my gains!


    I too love the features they offer on the Food Diary.

    Mine is public to get feedback too... though some days (and weeks) are definitely better than others. I do try to put notes in the food and exercise diaries about things that may have affected the day so I can remember looking back and others will know too!

    mine is public.

    usually it's good, but lately (as in since the new year, lol) is it has been looking pretty awful. i've been lazy about adding ingredients to the log and instead will just add a fast food item that is similar to what i have been making at home. for example one time i chose the 'wendy's blt wrap' when it was actually homemade. i didn't want to input tortilla, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado (substituted for the ranch). :) another example is using the 'walmart deli blt chicken salad' when i am too lazy in input 3 cups lettuce, tomatoes, bacon bits, chicken and spicy dressy (substituted for the ranch). several other examples come to mind too.

    i used to put notes in when i did that, but i've been lazy about that too. lol. thanks for reminding me about the notes section! i need to start using it again, not only for people that browse but for myself when i am looking back.
