Go to friends on the left hand side and then click Add Friends. You can enter a username in the email bit and then click to add - you don't have to fill out the rest of the info.

Ooh, I like to track. I used to use WW tracker & Spark People. I just downloaded the app!

My username is kiikachu if anyone wants to add!

Thank you, I might try and add the new flavours at some point. I had macaroni cheese yesterday couldn't see it on the list so I said I had to spag bol lol x

If you go to More... and then Edit Profile you can change the number of calories you are aiming for a day so that it doesn't nag you when you're under!

Good one Weasey. My calorie intake now is about 6-700 less than last year on healthy eating so it does keep nagging lol!
On the plus side, it does tell you what you will weigh in a few weeks at the end of each day if you continue with the low calories...looks good to me

 

[Pheonix2010]

does anyone know if you can change your name on there

 

[weasey]

Don't think so pheonix - sorry.

 

[Laurie]

Yes under settings, it's change username. You can only change it once though

 

[weasey]

Can't see that on the app - is it on the website instead?

Whats the benefit to having friends on MFP? Ive got one friend (sad eh? lol) but as far as I can see it only shows me shes logged in and completed her diary?

 

[weasey]

You get a news feed telling you how much weight they've lost and any status updates they've posted. You can also make comments on these.
