it is easy and free to create a new email address: go to yahoo, or google(gmail) and in under 5 minutes you can have a new email address for hubby to use and create a new profile for MFP. He doesn't have to use it for anything else, it is super easy. send me a message if you are having trouble.

I have recently changed computers and my current computer wont show the box on the right hand where you usually select the food amount. Is there a program or setting I need to change for this to work. Thanks

Hi Mike,

Can you please tell me what I need to do so that when I put in my daily calories it will take me to the current day. Each time I logout (and I do click on the green area for done for today) and I log back it takes me back to mid January.

Thanks
Lorraine

i used the FAQS page, but when i choose a food item it dosent go into the frey area! So what do i do? Thanks

Hello--I have seen through my e-mail that someone here has requested my as a friend and today someone sent me a message. How do I view these?

Swissmiss,

To see your messages


1. Click "My Home"
2. Click "Mail"

_____________________

And you also need to logout of your MFP acct to see the friends request.

1. Logout
2. Log back in and you should be able to see who requested you as a friend.


Hope this helps you. Keep us posted if it worked. It should.

Thank you heal4444. I figured it out. Just trying to get used to the format here.

You're so welcome Swissmiss. Good for you, it worked and you figured it out. Feel free to ask any questions you have. We'll try and help out.

It's actually easier to start a new thread to ask questions so that more posters will jump in to help.

If you ever need to ask another tech question, next time, try this:

1.Click "Technical Support/Need Help"
2. Then, you'll see a green button "New Thread" Click that
3. Subject box, fill that in
4. Type your question.

Then voila, lots of posters will jump on and try to answer your question. The reason why is that not many of us look in the Frequently Answered Question Thread.

We mostly look at the new threads posted with new subject line.

So, hopefully, whatever technical question you post with a new thread. One of us would know the answer.

Also, see up top, there's a "Help" button. Click that. That has a lot of useful answers to common questions.

Good luck and wish you my best.

thank you, thank you, thank you

I got all my questions answered and got the help I needed. I'm looking forward to some of the changes that will be made in the future (like making changes to saved meals)

Hi mike, I just joined last week, and am really enjoying so far. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I can't figure out how to insert a food from my " my foods" and add it to my diary for the day. I would assume thats why I keep an ongoing list so I can just add, but there doesn't seem to be a tab to insert it. I stare at the screen looking at a food, but have nowhere to go with it??

technically challenged!!

no you cannot add yoru foods that way. mike has said he is working on it, but it isnt available yet.

What i do is name my meals with my name first so i can find it. If you mean you added a new food, just type the first few words and it shoudl come up

hope this helps

wow that was fast. Thanks for the answer. I just knew it should be possible, now I can stop searching!

ON THE MAIN PAGE IT SAYS TO CLIKC HERE TO "COMPLETE YOUR DAY". I FORGOT TO DO IT YESTERDAY...CAN I COMPLETE THE DAY IF IT HAS PAST?

Can I make myfitnesspal my homepage?

yes- easily! click on "tools" on your browser, not the tools on MFP. Then click "internet options" then type MFPs address to replace your old homepage.

no, you can't click it once the day has past- but clicking it is optional anyway, all it does is give you a basic understanding of how "on track" you were for the day.

I just wanted to also say thank you Mike. What a great job you've done with this site.

how do u put your carbs up more

Mike you are wonderful and amazing. Thanks for all that you have done to make my life easier

How do I get the http:stuff removed from below my signature box?

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals

You can click "Custom" and change your carbs.

Then highlight and delete the

It appears you copy/pasted it somehow.

Thank you this site has been a great help to me . I have not been here long but it has worked it way to the top of my list every day and I thank you for all your hard work

Mike - I have a sprint "Instinct" phone which gets the regular web. I can get to our site, but when I try to log it it says" not currently on site so I can't be authenticated. I would really like to be able to visit the site via my phone so I can do so whereever I am - it will help keep me on track. Can you tell us how to do this? Since I am on the web and entering my passwords like normal - why can't I get in?
