Hi,

The one thing I love about MFP is that you are able to see each others food habits, I like the fact that seeing what other people eat for a light snack or a healthy meal will inspire me to do the same the next day.
Would be great if people could add me as a friend who are willing to show there food diary public as I do :D xxx

Thanks xx

    I would feel too embarrassed if I were to show my food diary to other people lol. Especially for the past few days...

    Some days I do really good until the end of the day and I have run out healthy food to eat lol. The evil food just stares at me.


    I will add you anyway, just to see what ideas I can probably nick lol.

    I haven't looked at anyone else's diary yet, didn't think to - I will now!

    I think mine is viewable? It looks pretty impressive at the moment, probably because I'm in my first week! Hopefully I can maintain that level of impressiveness...

    My food diary is open if you'd like to read it! Sometimes I make healthy choices, sometimes not but I'm not ashamed of any of them.

    I share my food diary...it helps me to try and think about that when i'm deciding what I'm eating that day, because I too, am embarrassed somedays if I mess up! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    MIne is public. Like others have said, it's not always the greatest but it holds me accountable so I enter everything. I will add you.

    My diary is public so everyone can see how BAD my diet but I can still lose weight.

    It kind of annoys me when people's diaries aren't public. What on earth are you afraid of? We are all here for the same reason, to get healthier!

    I only have one or two friends with open diaries. I don't look at food diaries to criticize them, I look through them to get new ideas for me to add!!

    Mine is set to public, feel free to take a look, not always perfect (rarely perfect actually!!) but maybe I can give someone some new ideas of foods to try!!!

    Actually, I will make my diary. I guess everyone is near enough in the same boat as me. Has good days, has bad days.

    Having a public diary keeps me on my toes... I log everything (well OK I don;t track my water and I sometimes forget to log spices used in cooking) and would be happy for people to comment on my diary.

    Also, I've learnt a lot of useful stuff by looking at other peoples diaries.

    I find it a little strange that people protect/hide their diaries but assume they have their reasons.

    Mine is open to friends if you want to add me, but I would suggest you only view it for suggestions during the week, my weekends are frequently shocking! :ohwell:

    My food diary is public, anyone is free to browse it. I tend not to comment on other people's diaries as I believe we're adult enough to take responsibility for our own eating and drinking habits. They are a good place for ideas though!

    Well mine is public but I am cheering on 48 people so I don't generally add new ones or all I would be doing is commenting on statuses, lol. But you are welcome to check it out. It is disgustingly healthy, lol. My pals are always surprised I'm eating so many veggies but I love variety. I watch folks eating pretty much nothing and consuming as many calories as i am and complaining they are starving, well yeah.

    i think mine is only open to friends but feel free to add me, i have stopped mine being viewable in the past because i've had people being critical and that really annoys me as I'm not there to criticise anyones eating habits. We all have bad days and busy days where we can't always eat properly and I don't appreciate being told so, none of us are saints, you don't have to cut out the naughty stuff completely, were here to eat in moderation and learn about what we are eating in the long run and how it affects us..... sorry i've gone completely off topic, i get grumpy when people tell me off lol!

    Wow I just checked your diary from yesterday and I was attacked by vegetables. A lot of good stuff. Can't wait to nick a few of your food ideas :D

    Yeah...I keep my food diary private...mostly because it's pretty boring. I'm quite content with eating the same things every single day. Even back when I was in college I think I ate a turkey sandwich every day for an entire semester lol

    Mine's public. Not always the best (Especially yesterday, bad evening, lol) but it's all there. The only thing I don't track is water or trace quantities of spices (including salt because I'm not that concerned about it.)
