Looking For Buddies on Myfitnesspal.com

[Guest adanie46]

Hello!

I've been using Myfitnesspal.com for about half a year now. I've used Livestrong (The Daily Plate) and FitDay in the past, and I prefer my fitness pal to both of them. They have a neat feature that allows you to ad friends who will be able to see your blog and food journal if you allow that. I've been looking for people to add. Mainly for support. If you use My Fitness Pal please message me so we can "be friends". I usually check-in daily and would love some support to give me a little extra push if it looks like I'm slacking.

Thanks!

I've never heard of My Fitness Pal. Could you perhaps explain a little more about it?

From Myfitnesspal.com:

"MyFitnessPal is a diet and fitness community built with one purpose in mind: providing you with the tools and support you need to achieve your weight loss goals."

It allows you to track your food (calorie counter and nutrition goals, too), exercise, and weight. It also allows you to network with friends to support each other.

I love myfitnesspal, but am more geared toward weight gain. For that, like with any diet, my intake needs a specific amount of protein, carbs, and fat. It lets me track that and shows how I've progressed towards my goals.

MaryEllen, It's exactly as Crossroads says. I also like it over some of the other weight management tools because its free. Take Livestrong for example, it allows you to do only the most basic calorie counting and if you want anything else you have to get a paid account. My Fitness Pal lets you track set goals and plans to reach them. It also provides information on gaining weight, losing, or maintaining. Its actually pretty in depth.

I use this but didn't know you could add friends. That would be a massive help I think~ because I was losing weight after three months of monitoring but then I kind of gave up on it like a fool and gained it all back.

I'm 5'6~ and I weight 176 pounds. I want to be at least 140 or lower. I used to be that way, but I was 19 at the time and I'm about to hit 29. ; ; (I hate getting older lol~)

It's getting harder to lose weight, and running is difficult due to my bad knees. But, I want to at least have the support in changing my eating habits. I think it'd be good for me.

I'll find out how to add you, and we can watch each other's backs!

I was using Myfitnesspal last year and actually managed to loose 23lbs. I was one third of the way to my goal. Then my wife went in to the hospital for heart surgery and dring the extended stay my diet went to hell with crazy stress eating.

I have since started again, and am loosing again. I know friends make it easier by supporting each other.

If anyone wants to friend me I'm chloe42
