Looking for friends with open diaries :)

in Getting Started
Hi all! I've been a MFP member for a few years now, but just seriously started using it in the past several months. Down about 18 pounds so far. I gained a lot of weight through college and in the years after, now looking to get healthy. Around 200lbs currently so I need to lose quite a bit. I don't really have an end goal in mind, I'm just going to keep going until I feel better about myself and get comfortable in my skin again.

I don't stick to one particular diet, just trying to stay within my calorie goal each day. I try to be flexible with my food choices so I don't feel deprived...that is what has driven me to quit tracking in the past. I'm NOT focused on losing the weight as fast as humanly possible, but instead want to build healthy, sustainable habits that I can continue into the foreseeable future. If it takes me longer to lose weight because of that, so be it. If you are on a similar journey, please add me!

I'm especially looking to add friends who have their diaries open. I'm not here to judge other's choices, I just like to peruse other people's diaries for ideas when I get bored with food. :)

    I like friends with open diaries for that same reason, and it's the reason I have one. Feel free to add me!

    Feel free to add me this is a new profile as I’m starting afresh (there will be things that are “not good” in my diary but I’m learning and weaning myself off all the naughty foods lol) x

    You can add me! I've been having a lot of success in the last 4 months. I have an open diary. I am stuck in a food prep rut and am eating the same things over and over. Would love to see some more ideas on what to eat!

    Mine is open. Everyone is welcome to be my friend. I’ve lost 20 lbs so far and have at least 30 more to go. I eat junk, as long as it fits in my calorie goals.

    Feel free to add me! It's all open. I usually end up cooking one thing for my kids and eating something else... at least for now. I know that's not manageable in the long run, but I need to start somewhere.

    Feel free to friend me. I am on a similar journey- I am still taking college classes, work during the day, and I am currently 225lbs with the goal of 165lbs.
    Ultimately I would like to try out for Sasuke (Japanese Ninja Warrior).
    Loosing weight has never provided sufficient motivation, but training towards a goal and an epic soundtrack makes all the difference for me.
    Good luck!

    To add friends on MFP:

    1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
    2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
    3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.

    To open your diary:

    1) Go to Settings - far right on the home page header.
    2) Open diary settings - near the bottom of the list.
    3) Change the setting and you should be good to go.
