    None. The reason is simple: my family is keeping me uncomfortable all the time especially when it comes to posting my pics showing my abs & that I can't freely express myself so adding them here won't be healthy on my part.

    No one knows. I use MFP to talk about weightloss and healthy eating. My family is tired of hearing about it so this is my outlet.

    It's a secret. I don't even go by my real name here, tbh. "Hanna" has been one of my "alter-egos" since grade 5. Reason I'm secret.... It's embarrassing for me because my friends and most of my family (esp. my brother) wouldn't really understand. My friends do know, though, that I'm aware of my calorie-intake. They think it's weird and that it's unhealthy to count calories and I shouldn't do it... Things that are related to health and fitness, I can't talk to them about. And my family is honestly way too lazy to be interested. Except for my brother, but we don't get along.

    I wouldn't say it was secret but I kept it to myself until ppl started asking me what I was 'doing' to lose weight. If someone asks, I tell them

    Same here :)

    I have a friend at work, we are losing weight together, that just started on MFP. But I wouldn't call it a secret, if someone asked I would tell them. Like many others, I really don't want my FB "family" to creep on me here either! LOL

    My family know and my close friends. I'm proud of any weight loss and to boost my motivation i'll put it on fb but they don't know I use MFP I don't think.

    Tried to encourage my step daughter to use it she's about 25 stone and does nothing! And I mean nothing! She whines constantly that she's obese but she won't work, makes her husband (he's a stick! BTW) do everything and eats crap. She asks me how I lost my weight (I did lose 56lbs at one stage) and I told her a balanced diet with moderate excercise with minimal unhealthy snacks! But she still hasn't done anything 12 months after asking me and she's been told repeatedly by the doctors that her organs are starting to fail because of her weight they said she'll be lucky to reach 35 she was 34 last month! :frown:

    I tell everyone and suggest they try it. I've gotten the BF and his mom hooked on it. =) I always talk about my current obsession and MFP is it.

    A few friends, my boyfriend, and my mom know I am here. Most of my friends know I'm using "a site to track food" but don't know which one.

    My husband and kids know, as well as a few friends who happen to be on here. That's it though. I am not one to post every bite, every pound or every workout on facebook. This is for me and they figured out I was doing something when they noticed I was shrinking. Those who really want to know I tell.

    My wife knows, and I've mentioned it to co-workers. Some of my status updates end up on Twitter and Facebook. I'm also doing this for me, but I figure putting it out there at least a little is more incentive to stay on track.

    Yes, people know. I tell anyone who asks me how I lost weight about MFP. I think it's a great tool and it's helped me in so many ways.
