    From your home page, click "Settings" and then "Diary settings" and you can set it under "Diary sharing."

    I started out NOT sharing, but now I do and I find it holds me more accountable. My friends comment, offer suggestions for improvement, and KNOW when I've had a bad day of emotional eating! BUT...having it open has REDUCED the emotional eating, because now that I"m in the habit of logging everything, when I remember I am logging it as I'm about to eat it, I POST something...and the wonderful supportive responses I get help me to REDUCE the junk.
    It took me a while, but I genuinely log EVERYTHING.

    I keep mine open to friends because ...

    1> They're good people... they motivate. No rude comments, only support.

    2> I'm nosey & like to see what others are eating so it's only fair I do so in return.

    3> To show people who feel hopeless & that they can never do this because they feel they have to give up all the goodies & junk in the world to get anywhere.... ARE TOTALLY F***ING WRONG!!

    I just have mine open to friends. I don't actually care what people think about my eating habits in general, but if I reply to something in the forum, I don't want everyone and their mother to be able to use my diary as ammunition in a fight.

    I have mine open and my MFP friends are great about congratulating me when I do good, suggesting ideas for improving it and sometimes just teasing me about my food/drink choices… it’s always in good fun. ;)

    Only with MFP friends... I've seen a few people comment on food diaries and their comments were not very nice... :frown: (Just saying a few... most comments are helpful!)

    I keep mine open to my MFP friends as well - and they have been nothing but incredibly supportive and I love reading theirs. Helps give me ideas because I get bored with my foods.

    I agree - we have a wee "team" of us and we can view each other diaries - we offer praise to each other (if deserved!!) and also kick their arses (if deserved!!) lol - its good to keep track on what your eating and we nick each others ideas too - you get bored with the same stuff at times xx

    My diary is open.

    I've been REALLY bad lately. Comfort eater with chocolate in the house... Not a pretty sight! (And I'm too tired to maintain at the moment - yes, fallen off the wagon and need to sort myself out.)

    I learn from other people's diaries whether I think they are making good decisions or not such clever decisions. It's all about choices and I learn by choices of others. I'm grateful to those who share.

    Things that I've picked up so far:
    prawns are 'cheap'

    courgette
    mushroom
    red onion
    splash of balsamic vinegar to marinade for a few hours...
    This makes a good salad!

    cauliflower
    broccoli
    carrots
    All cheap!

    baby potatoes are easier to portion

    there's a wide variety of breads out there and it's really worth looking at the calories of each

    ice-cream is expensive!
    I have NO idea why nuts are recommended as a good snack... Theyre not very filling and very expensive.

    I owe this to people who have open diaries! Thanks peeps!

    Most of my MFP pals diaries are open - I love to see what they are eating especially my friends from abroad - seeing the different foods - and trying to work out what some of them are. We are totally honest on both good and bad days, we comment if we think others are not eating enough - asking if things are ok etc and congratulating on really good good days.
    This week I have tried Almond Milk just from seeing it in 2 friends diaries - lovely on my bran flakes- so tasty (on offer at Tesco too):smile:
