What does having friends on MFP do? Can they see your weight? I want cheerleaders but I don't want anyone to know how much I weigh....

But I love MFP!

ETA: I am currently eating candy corn....clearly I need some accountability.

I'm pretty sure they can't see your weight. I hope

It mostly tells you when someone logged a workout, completed their food entry, or lost weight. Your friends can reply & be all, "Great job!"

They can't see your weight persay, but if you made a ticker that said your starting weight that says "I have lost X pounds" they could guess. But you dont have to put your weight on your ticker.

You can control what they can see. For example, pounds lost yes/no, weight yes/no (although not on the app), food/exercise diary yes/no.

BTW, more people need to share their food diary. I need more ideas. I think of my friends only Mesh does and she eats well. I'm always impressed by how good her food sounds for the calories consumed.

I am Morningmania if anyone is interested in adding me.
I am on a really strict low sodium diet right now and my H and I are doing a little competition on weight loss.

I know this has been asked before, but how does MFP compare to Sparkpeople? I've used Spark on and off for a couple of years now, and I have an MFP account too but I haven't ever really used it.

Any idea the pros and cons to both? I'm a little hesitant to switch over and start using MFP just because I have so many foods already manually entered in my Sparkpeople account.

[ladyk]

Ladyk2123 if you all see a request from me.

I have found the most random foods already in the database so ive only had to had maybe 1 or 2 and that was homemade stuff.

[sporklemotion]

User name is same there as here. I've been slacking lately (work has been bananas), but am starting to get back on track!

[mollz007]

Thanks for adding me everyone!!

The database is awesome! I used to use sparkpeople, but the database on MFP has so much more random stuff! I guess because it is more well known and more people use it. I am going to download the mobile app today!

[glitzy07]

I think I'll try giving MFP a go this week instead of Sparkpeople, since from what I can tell in the last 5 minutes they do have way more random foods.

[sporky]

I'm quspork, if you ladies don't mind me joining in here. I have a terrible time remembering to input my data, so maybe with some "friends" I'll be better at actually recording everything.

[niemand88f]

My name is also niemand88f on MFP, I haven't been very good about tracking lately
