My Fitness Pal

[MKambalimath 92]

I started using MFP because I saw a lot of people on here using it, and I like it to see how my calories and fitness can be recorded, but other than that, I really HATE IT. The people on there are psycho! Every single time I venture to look at posts people put, they are SO negative. I've really only seen one negative post on this site since I've been on it, but that site is freakin crazy. Those people are SO judgmental about what other people post, how many calories their friends eat, who their friends can be. They get really nasty if someone says something they don't agree with. I've never seen anything like it. I only have my sister as a friend anyway, because its mostly for me to record my info, but if I wanted to have friends I would be scared! I'm glad that I have this site! Its way more supportive, I guess because we're all in the same boat here. We understand if we're only eating 800 calories we're not anorexic, we just cant fit more in. Geez! I totally feel like the people on MFP are just trying to show off their muscles or "education" on what they think is the right way to lose weight or work out.

You need to friend request a lot of the folks from VST who are on there. I think my friends are mostly VST members and they are SO supportive. It's really nice to post my workout in the morning and know that I'm going to get a high five from someone! I'm definitely not as good as giving them back as I should be, but I haven't seen a single negative post on MFP.

I'm Lissa912 on there.

Mine is a closed account. It's for me and me only. I don't read or care about what other's are doing on there. I know what I need to do, I use it for my records, because it's easy to print out to take to the doctor's office when I needed to for the 6 month pre-op. It's easy to chart, I can use it online or at my doctor's office. The only friend I have on there is my son.

I can open it up at the doctor's office and let them scroll through it.

Thanks Fluffy and Lissa, I really appreciate it! Its weird because I just had 2 people send me a friend request because of a response that I posted on there to someone who was talking about how terrible people that "screw their bodies" are because they eat less than 1200 calories, LOL. I posted that basically they dont know what someone situation is so they shouldnt judge and now I have 2 new friends that have had WLS Next time I go over there I will look you guys up! :)

What is your name on MFP?

[Musharooni 62]

I agree with LIssa, get some MFP friends from VST. My MFP friends are predominantly from this site and I love the support & motivation they provide.
