    Not sure if I have mine open for public viewing, you're most welcome to take a gander! I do like the idea of looking at fellow MFP members' diaries to check out some foods that would be suitable for me and within my calorie intake. I'm on 1320 cals per day. It's been great so far. What I do like about MFP is that even if you don't feel like doing any exercises but stay within your calorie limit then it slows down the weight loss as opposed to doing 30 to 60 min cardio whether it be walking/jogging or any other form of exercise and still eat within your limit then of course the weight loss speeds up. So even though you burn off calories, it bumps up your calorie intake which I thought well, what's the point in that? LOL Sorry, I'm rambling on...

    Ok just checked and I'm actually on 1290 cals a day. I was initially on 1320 when I first started on MFP. Probably reduced perhaps because I've lost a few kgs? *shrug* Gosh, I do need to cut back on my salt intake! Not good for someone with hypertension.

    My diary is public - I decided that it would keep me on track! And yes - how do you change the sodium setting? I keep mine as low as possible (under 1500 if poss.) but would really like to change the target to that. Help would be much appreciated.

    You really should not have less than 1200 per day - that's the safe guideline for women

    Hi Opal, I did find out how to change sodium, search under "change sodium" on community page cause I already forgot how I did it!

    Mine is open now.
    I used to have it closed because *gasp* I didnt want people seeing. But then thought about it and I know having it public will make me try harder. Just have to make myself track the bad days as well... So opened it up to friends.

    I am on much higher daily allowance than most of you but I have alot of weight to move.

    Was working around 1200 but doing more exercise so eating back some now, is working better for me. Diary is open to friends, feel free to add me if you wish. Love to have new friends, especially from NZ :)

    My diary is open. I didn't realise that it would make such a difference until I got pulled up for not eating enough veggies :smile:
    They were right of course, I was carb loading and didn't even realise it. Going public with your diary adds another dimension to MFP.

    Mine is set to 1200, and open to my friends. If you want to add me feel free to, it's always nice to have other NZ'ers to get relevant tips from!!
    1200 has been working well for me so far! A lot of people say it's too low, but everyone is different, and so far it's working for me so i'm stinking at it! =) Xx
