Anyone using myfitnesspal???

Hi,

does anyone use myfitnesspal and would like another friend on there? I've just started using the app and doing the couch to 5k but would really like some weight loss friends for support. I did really well last year when I was going to the Rosemary Conley classes but I'm working evenings now and don't have time - it's nice to be able to chat about things and share tips but most of my real life friends are sickeningly skinny Wink. I'm rugbymum2013 on MFP if anyone wants to add me (I'm just finding my way around the site so not quite sure how it all works yet - is that all you need?).

Yes, I'm re-starting it after falling off the wagon. I'll PM you the name I use on MFP. I'm not sure how much help I'll be, though.

Thanks - I think I've sent you a friend request. Good luck to us both in the new year xx

I think I've managed to accept it. Grin I'm attempting gradual (hopefully permanent) changes to try to educate myself away from constantly eating 10% more than I need to.

dazzlingdeborahrose · 29/12/2013 21:57

I use it too. User name is the same as mumsnet name. I've lost two stone using a combination of mfp and slimming world. Still a way to go though.

AtticusMcPlatypus · 29/12/2013 22:04

I've just started to use it. Well actually starting properly after NYE and a wedding on NYD. Need to majorly shift nearly all the weight I put back on after losing nearly 4 stone a few years ago. I'll pm my username too.

I've just accepted another friend request. Hoping it's one of you guys. I'm the one with the bear on a branch. 31 at the moment, would like to get it under 30 then we'll see where we go from there.

ThreeBeeOneGee · 30/12/2013 09:03

31 = BMI.

knitknack · 30/12/2013 09:14

Hiya

We're on day three of c25k and I'm on MFP: kn1tknack (the I is a one!)

I'm also eating primally (basically no sugar or grains). See you on MFP? :)

Xfirefly · 30/12/2013 16:19

can you tell me a little about it? is it just a calorie counter? I've started my weight loss journey today

TaillessChicken · 30/12/2013 16:21

I'm katyd49 on MFP. If you send a request please mention Mumsnet so I know where you are from! ta.

SwimmingMom · 30/12/2013 16:27

I used it for 6 months & totally love it. Lost oodles of weight, but got lazy after hitting my target & now am afraid to weigh myself!!

Myfitnesspal has made some long lasting changes to my eating habits & portion sizes that am really glad about.

Am 'analystgirl', happy to join this team!

Xfirefly · 30/12/2013 16:34

ursula2468 · 31/12/2013 08:39

ursula2468 · 31/12/2013 09:18

I'm taking two days off (birthday, New Year party, belated Christmas meal with family) but will be back on MFP on Thursday.
