    This is sooooo the right thread for me. I would really like a group of friends here who did tell it like it is. I'd like to be able to ask questions and have feedback, encouragement and give it back. So add me pretty please!!

    MFP Truth Tellin' Accountability Pals
    Wanted: Buddies w/out the Bull
    MFP Bad Choices Rehab Buddies
    We don't just like it, we live it.
    MFP tells it like it is!
    Truth-tellers
    Tough Love for Great Results
    A Kick In the Pants
    Let Us Light A Fire
    Hardcore Accountability
    Intense Fitness Pals

    I'm in. You can all look at my diary and envy how awesome it is so it can be a role model for your diary. It's only a day deep but it will continue to be just as awesome, if not more awesomer.

    I don't need a fitness pal who will just give me a "Like" when they see I've checked in a couple days in a row. I need someone who crosses the line if necessary, who asks the tough questions like "Why exactly did you think it was okay to eat cake for breakfast?" or "Do you think by not logging your foods, you won't get any of their calories?"; and picks apart my eating and nutrition habits. I need you to tell me the truth, ESPECIALLY when I don't want to hear it.

    And I want to be that person for you!

    Let's quit making excuses and start keeping each other accountable!

    Who's with me??


    I'll be that person for you if you are mine!

    I am looking for the exact same thing! I tell it like it is and I don't mean to offend but if you're having cake for breakfast I'm going to ask you why :-) if your friends let you get that far off the track than you're probably not even on the track anymore. Anyone who feels the same way feel free to friend request me!

    Is this your attempt at injecting humor or are you just really that impressed with yourself?

    @srazamora, I've already typed a reply to @TrailBlazinMN post "I like your enthusiasm and wishful thinking" but then cancelled it :smiley:

    No one can know what you do or don't log. :) I log everything. Some days, my calorie counts look wonky. It's usually because I slept all day. LOL. I have a hard time adjusting to higher activity levels because of my muscle disease.

    I'll tell it how it is: If you need this kind of service or management you will almost certainly fail.

    That Sergeant Major that you wish to micro-manage your diary and hold you accountable has to be you and you alone.

    "Everybody loves science until it disproves their sacred cow."
    If you want to hear it hire it really is, let's start with your plan. Psychology studies tend to find that shaming does not work - nit for weight loss, not for any behavior observed properly so far. Chances are the person liking your good one is actually note helpful with that positive reinforcement.
    Secondly, I seem to recall one study that actually followed chocolate cake for breakfast as part of flexible diet - they were testing flexible during, cake for breakfast was the news headline reduction. The cake lost more, so funny choice for something you want shaming for... Sinply meet your macros, don't fret about having a Marie Antoinette diet, other than avoiding guillotines - they're a short term weight loss only.

    Okay if you want someone to beat your booty I can do it but before I do, I want you to get a hold of Tosca Reno's book Eating Clean and educate yourself on how to grocery shop! If you don't buy crap, like cake or allow cake in your home you won't eat it! Lol if you're serious let me know you got the book and we can go over it together, but you need to FR me. Accountability can be challenging but it will achieve results. Get back to me.
