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, I'm really getting in to this MFP thing and it's really helping. Thanks to everyone who has sent me friends requests. I have lost track of who I have added but I'm happy to keep adding people if they send me a request - username rugbymum2013

Hi
Feel free to add me my username is ilikestilton, I've been using mfp for over a year and have just gone back on after a break for Christmas

magentastardust · 06/01/2014 13:45

Hello I have sent a few friend request too. My user name is same as on here.

Lost almost 3 stone 2 years ago and MFP was a great help, really made me aware of calories I was consuming and stopped me guessing how much I should be eating.

Sadly here I am again 2 years later away to try and do the same again -but I am determined-I feel so much better and healthier when some of this weight is shifted!

ThreeBeeOneGee · 06/01/2014 18:45

MFP on my Windows phone has been messing about this afternoon; can't add any foods I've eaten.

MabelStark · 07/01/2014 19:57

Enjoying having friends on MFP! Feel free to add me. My user name again is IWantACocktailDress. I have got a cocktail dress but it's a size 14. I reckon it'll fit me in about 5 more pounds off timeWink

kingbeat23 · 07/01/2014 20:40

Thanks for all the adds. I'm a bit sporadic at the moment but I'll be
Back on it properly soon I properly I promise!

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 21:08

Are people still adding? Started on mfp yest but got an awful lot to loose & thinking we all need help & encouragement! My name is rainbowstar1981 please feel free to add me! It's got to be done this yr!!!

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 21:46

I can't search for people on the app! Is it me being silly? Will only let me search through fb, email or phone. Ne suggestions??

VivaLeBeaver · 07/01/2014 21:48

I've restarted on MFP today after a break of over a year. Same name as on here.

I thought I'd been good today. Weetabix for breakfast, omelette for lunch and prawn stir fry for dinner but have had 1600 calories! Ooops.

VivaLeBeaver · 07/01/2014 21:51

God, actually its 1800 calories not 1600. I did have a slice of vienetta but even without that its still a lot of calories.

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 21:54

It's amazing where all calories come from! Probably ate a yrs calories over Xmas!
Viva do u know how u search for friends on mfp?

WoodBurnerBabe · 07/01/2014 21:56

I'm mysk_girl - loving MFP at the moment, loads of good support from MN people :-) makes all the difference to weight loss. Will try and add some of you now.

VivaLeBeaver · 07/01/2014 21:58

No, I'm just trying to look to see how to search for people. I've clicked on friends and there's people there that I must have added in the past but can't see how to search for people.

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 22:01

Anyone who knows how to search for friends without using email fb or phone? Can't see how to do it on app.
I'm rainbowstar1981 if anyone wants another friend? Could do with all help poss

VivaLeBeaver · 07/01/2014 22:03

I've found how to search for people.

Click on community tab, then on "find members".

But that's not on the app. But might be similar?

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 22:06

Don't think on app - but will look!
Yey we're friends! Thanks.

CatOfTheDay · 07/01/2014 22:08

I added you goldie81 !
I love having friends too, it's like I can't get away with not logging things cos people might be watching! Grin

Which in turn makes me want to exercise more to give me more calories to work with.

I'm feline69xx on there.

SunshineOnACrappyDay · 07/01/2014 22:11

Hello all, if anyone wants to add me I'm FabulousJasper :)

MabelStark · 07/01/2014 22:16

To add someone as a friend...
Friends, plus sign in top right hand corner, email option ( it will let you put the user name in here) then press the tick.

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 22:17

Thanks everyone! I think it's the people around us that will keep us going & spur each other on!
For the first time in a long time I'm feeling really positive! 2days so far but got 2start somewhere!

MabelStark · 07/01/2014 22:21

I bought some of those flat kitchen scales from Argos and I now weigh everything as I soon realised I had no idea of potion size. The good thing about weighing the food is that if you really want something you can see how many calories you want to consume and adjust portions accordingly. Like when everyone else is having chips and I can't spare the calories I just have 25g instead of the plateful that I would scoff in the past. I dread to think how many calories I used to have at breakfast pre MFP as my cereal portions must have been about 120g!!

goldie81 · 07/01/2014 22:24

Thanks Mabel- had I of read properly then would have seen username!

juneybean · 07/01/2014 23:12

Hi I'm just getting back into mfp after a bit of a lull! I'm jefnerf :)

greenthumbs · 07/01/2014 23:33

Hi, you've inspired me to get back on the wagon, thank you. I'm green_thumbs and could do with any help anyone's willing to spare.
