Hi. I'm looking for friends that are open with their food diary. Could you please add me? I'm really wanting to view what others eat so I can change my diet and maybe get some ideas. I was a little surprised only one of my friends has her food diary open. I thought that was the point of this site to track what you eat/exercise and display it publicly.

  • sure you can add me- i'm pretty new but mine is open to public (flaws and all, lol). i don't really get why everyone's isn't open - aren't the new arrives suppose to be learning healthier eating habits? when you see someone that has been here a while and obviously been very successful- well geez, would love to peek at their food diary/exercise logs..only to find them private and they already have 349 friends. kinda a big oh well.

    Add me as a friend and my diary is available to view. Although word of warning - never ever EVER follow a Friday night!

    Or a Saturday night.

    Occasionally Sundays.

    In fact, Mon-Thurs I am angelic - follow that!!!

    I will tell you why some people's diaries aren't open to everyone (mine is, however, open to my friends).

    Because some people don't know how to be polite or to mind their own business unless they've been asked for their help. I am an extremely picky eater. I tend to eat the same stuff day in and day out. I'm not very open to trying new stuff and honestly? I'm okay with it. I also consume a large amount of calories for my height and weight. I've had people criticize me for eating the same things, question how much I'm eating and offer up advice on how to get me to not be so picky and to try new things.

    I didn't ask for any of this. I am happy with what I eat, I know how many calories I need in a day, and while I know that I am picky and difficult when it comes to eating - I'm okay with it.

    People tend to think they can tell everyone else the best way to eat or live their life. Unless I ASK for someone's help - please keep your unsolicited advice to yourself.

    THAT is why people don't have open diaries.

    YOU CAN ADD ME2
  • You can add me. My diary is completely open. I will say that for the most part it is an example of what not to do, but there are reasons for that and I am working on changing it.

    Mine is open, I rarely deviate from how I eat, but sometimes I'm busy and don't get all my calories. I work out 3-4 days a week. I don't like to eat processed foods. I stick to whole foods, fresh veggies.

    anyone can check out my diary - should be good for a laugh!

    i am australian so there is a lot of vegemite and beer involved.

    i am about a month and a half into this and still struggling to be consistent but i do try to be honest so you can see where/how i go wrong and maybe that will help you.

    good luck on your journey.

    My diary is public, so feel free to view it. I'm likely not the best role model. I try to eat healthy but I eat a lot of junk as well. Be aware I just upped my calorie limit so it'll look like I was way under target, but most days I was within +/- 100 of what the goal was at the time.

    Mine is totally open to the general public, but you can add me as a friend if you want - especially if your diary is also open! Great idea for a thread :)

If you advertise yourself, your products, your off-site blog or your website in your forum posts or on your profile, I am NOT interested in ANYTHING you have to say. Period. Won't ever be.

    Feel free to add, I haven't been too consistant with logging but I'm getting back on it :)
  • I don't mind you looking at my diary at all. It holds me accountable. Some days are better than others. Unfortunately, been a bit under the weather so not as good as I would like, but it's okay once in a while as long as it's not habit. Feel free to view mine. I also like to see what other people eat, so maybe you'll share yours too?
