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?).

Hi guys, I would love some MFP friends to keep me going if anyone would like to add me? Really need to get back on the wagon after the last two weeks! I'm amateurdieter on there.

Hi I've just re-jigged my statistics on there after over a year, and added a couple of my regular recipes, I have no idea how to add anyone but my username is feline69xx if anyone wants to add me! :)

(DISCLAIMER: I'm allowed to eat loads of calories on a Friday, it's part of my eating regime Wink )

Please add me to my user name is azzik786

Thanks I started today.

I lost a stone in 7 weeks just using MFP before Christmas. It really makes you think about what you are eating and once you've set a goal calorie count for the day I found I really wanted to stick to it. I put it all on hold for the last 2 weeks and I've gained 3 pounds back. I'm back on it from tomorrow.!! Filling in the diary is a pain at first but the app does store what you've imputed and the scan facility is great. I could use some friends too, I have none, my user name is IWantACocktailDress. Smile

butterfliesinmytummy · 03/01/2014 01:26

I'm on mfp at exitthruthegiftshop, feel free to add me. Day one so far, feeling a bit headachey as I'm eating clean a la gwynneth. It works really well and the benefits are amazing but the first few days are grotty. No sugar, no wheat, no dairy, nothing processed....

AllThreeWays · 03/01/2014 02:17

Ooo add me to please, have been using it for three weeks and it is working, but friends would really help. username is missharrisimo

namechangesforthehardstuff · 03/01/2014 19:58

Oh yeah brilliant. Excellent work there you android bastard. I DID NOT PRESS POST MESSAGE.

Ahem.

Anyway can I join? I just joined it today and learned that I am eating way too much rice. My un is crunchyporridge. Could someone add me - I haven't really got to grips with how it works or even how my own bloody phone works clearly

ElvisJesusAndCocaCola · 03/01/2014 20:10

Have friend requested as many of you on this thread as I can.

My user done is the same as my MN name.

ElvisJesusAndCocaCola · 03/01/2014 20:37

Do people want to keep their diary entries secret from friends? If you want people to be able to see your diary, you need to actively do this in settings. If not, don't :)

DharmaBumpkin · 03/01/2014 20:37

Feel free to add me, dharmabumpkin, I was doing really well until the summer holidays....

Hey ho, I'm back on the wagon now! Am seeing relatives at Easter so have a really strong drive to be dedicated until then!

amateurcynic · 03/01/2014 20:55

Thanks to those who added me! I so badly need a kick up the arse.

Have added some of the others from this thread who posted their mfp names, hope none of you mind!

SpecialCircumstances · 03/01/2014 20:57

I'd love some encouragement if anyone wants to add me it's beeandme!

CatOfTheDay · 03/01/2014 20:57

I don't mind if people see my entries - today is a great example of how NOT to eat! Although I sort of want to lie about the wine Grin

MadameLeBean · 03/01/2014 21:02

I'm re starting too! I'm chicmama25 feel free to add (pls say your mumsnet username)

MrFranklyShankly · 04/01/2014 10:17

SylviaDaisyPouncer · 04/01/2014 13:33

MrFranklyShankly I went into 'Progress' then 'weight' them '+' then I could put my weight in.

I am SDPouncer on mfp, I will try adding some of you now.

MrFranklyShankly · 04/01/2014 14:47

Cheers Sylvia will try that ;-)

HalleLoujaandHappyNewYear · 05/01/2014 12:24

Am loopylouja if people are still adding.

kingbeat23 · 05/01/2014 13:10

I'm back on it after a 6 month hiatus. I do like the way it makes you think about the good you're eating and they've regigged the cardio figures so it doesn't burn off too many cals for walking about! VixCyn23.

Groovee · 05/01/2014 17:09

Hiya, I'm a Grooveecar on MFP. I lost 2st in 2012 on MFP. Unfortunately I have gained it all back.

Have weighed in, deleted all previous entries and starting again. I use a Sunday to weigh in as I often work a Monday and I use the machine in tesco to weigh in. No cheating in between weigh ins.

Look forward to chatting to you all x

ThreeBeeOneGee · 05/01/2014 17:13

The breakdown of nutritional content has opened my eyes to quite how much sugar I'm eating. On two days in the last week it has been over 130g a day! Shock

Groovee · 06/01/2014 08:25

Does that include Fruit TBOG?

ThreeBeeOneGee · 06/01/2014 08:46

Yes, but the sugar content from fruit is only about 5% of it.

On a positive note, yesterday I only ate 85g, so that's a step in the right direction.
