Multiple participants at same email address?

Both my wife and I would like to participate in myfitnesspal. We only have one email address and the sign-in process will not allow a second participant at the same email address. This can't be a new issue. What's the process for signing up two participants at the same email address?

    You could get a new free email address. I'd suggest Gmail but there are lots of alternatives.

    You can't. There are tons of free email providers on the internet - Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc. It only takes a few minutes to setup an account. I personally recommend Gmail, as I get the least spam at that email (compared to Yahoo).

    Maybe go over to Yahoo or Hotmail and quickly make up a new e-mail for one of you??

    establish a free e-mail account at hotmail. You can then use your hotmail account as the email for a second user.

    MFP is set up for one diary/user/person per email address. Just get another email address (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN, others)?

    Until MFP configures a work-around, just go to gmail.com and sign up for a separate free account. Set up in 2 minutes. Done.

    Create an additional e-mail address. There can only be one e-mail address per account, otherwise you'll both be using the same food diary. And that wouldn't be very beneficial to you. I highly suggest Gmail as another poster suggested.

    Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are all good, free option, but you might also check if your internet/email provider allows for multiple, free addresses. Most allow 5 to 10 free email addresses on the same account, including the original address.
