Food diary buddy?

I think one of the things I need to keep me on track is a little more external accountability. If I know someone else will see my food diary, I'm more likely to turn down the extra piece of candy or adult beverage that leads me into overeating. Is anyone else interested in partnering up to review each other's food diaries every day? Or three times a week or something?

    I will! I already do that with my friends who have an open diary. I like it not only for accountability but to get food ideas!

    Aw, I was going to figure out what to tell rach84reid, but she's deactivated her account. :(

    Glad to see so many other people willing to help!

    Gorda2015 - It's awesome to see your food journal in Portuguese. :) Looks like you get in a lot of good fruit (at least, those are the only words in Portuguese that I recognize right now!).

    Jennsve91 - I have no idea what Hela Semlor is and google isn't helping? What is it?

    im_awesome_because_im_me - WOW! I wish I didn't hate cycling (or cardio in general) so much....being able to burn 1200 calories in an hour is unreal. Do you use a HR monitor or do you use the MFP estimate on the calorie burn?

    leandrum - I know you're looking for food ideas, but what you're eating now looks tasty to me. Steak and potatoes...mmmmm.

    furioushummingbird - I love your snacks! They are great inspiration for things I need to pack to eat later in the week.

    daisyls85 - I love that Sunday-AM-Breakfast re-imagined with lower calorie choices. Amazing what you can fit in when you make small cuts here and there!

    If anyone wants an accountability buddy pick me! I workout almost every day but don't log it except for running, I am trying to stay below 1350 calories. My goal is to lose 15 lbs or 6 percent body fat. Since January 2, I've lost five and 1.5 percent! Add me!

    Add me in as well. I don't log exercise calories so I don't eat them back.

    Add me! I always look at people's diaries. I have an open diary as well, but I don't always make smart food choices. I'm working on finding a job that doesn't warrant snacking!

    Please add me also. I could really use the accountability right now since I am laid off from my job.

    I agree the first time I was on MFP a few years ago I fell completely off and I kept my diary private, this time around I decided to keep my diary viewable because it helps me think twice about what I'm eating since I know someone else has access to it and may make a bad choice as well lol.
