Hi, Click on settings (next to Log Out) and then select diary settings and click on make diary public if you want everyone to be able to see what you put in your food diary every day. It doesn't open anything else...only your food diary :) Jo

To be truthful, I'm not struggling on the calorie allowance, just the carbs allowance. I love cooking and eating, so don't mind putting the extra effort in. I thought 1.6 lbs was a healthy amount to lose a week? It doesn't seem a lot when I calculate how long it's going to take to get back to my old weight! :( Marathon not…

Thanks Amylg05. I do eat brown rice but unfortunately my tastebuds have a definite aversion to most vegetables...especially green ones!lol I am going to try the sweet potato wedges tho...thanks again :)

I'm 42,174cm, have just under 3 and a half stones to lose and am allowed 150 carbs per day. I'm not active...desk job and couch potato according to the stats (true I admit!) and arthritis etc etc etc, limits exercise. The daily allowance allows for 1.6lbs loss per week..so not a huge loss.

Hi 42 and starting again-although I didn't lose my previous weight with MFP. Friends get us through this...good luck and add me if you want :) Jo

H All :) I'm new here also and have 50+lbs to lose...so friends on here are a must as it's going to be a loooong journey for me it seems. Good luck to everyone and add me if you want :)

Hi and thanks :) I have to admit one of my downfalls is sauces, but I am staying away from the shop bought...I can cook (it's laziness that stopped me before) and so am making homemade curries, chillies etc etc etc. I'm on here more for the motivational help...and whatever advice anyone thinks will help me :) I'm also…

Thanks...I'm reading a lot on the forums. It's good to see how other ppl are doing. Watching and reading how others cope and carry on, is a good thing...it helps me to focus and work through the realisation that this is a marathon, not a sprint for me! Somehow, seeing others in the same situation as myself, makes it seem…

Thanks, I wasn't sure whether it opened up my entire account for the world to see! Which isn't what I would like to happen...I have no problem with ppl reading my food diary etc. New and clearly a lot to learn!lol

Hi, I'm relatively new here...ok very new lol. What's an open diary? Any help appreciated...oh and I would love to add new friends :)

Hi, I'm 42 and am relatively new to MFP. I also have 50+lbs to lose...plz feel free to add me :)

Hi All, I'm 42 (but feel older atm!) lol Feel free to add me, hopefully friends in the same situation will give me the motivation to stick at this!:bigsmile:
