I was looking for a way to search by name instead of just the "user name" on here. I wish there was an option where you could browse through people in your area. It would be great to find local people with the same goals that you could work out with!

There are other websites that offer this, but it would just be a pain in the rear to have to use two different websites when I already LOVE this one so much!

I love the idea. Too bad you aren't in MN. I'ld love someone to work out with.

i hear ya!

Maybe you could start a thread, at least until something better comes along? ie " Looking for a workout buddy in ..."

Great Idea!!

That's a very good idea!

How are you able to even search Usernames?? I've tried typing in my friend's username in the search box on the Community tab, but it brings up nothing.

Is there something I'm missing? A secret searchbox I haven't found yet??

In the URL box, just go to myfitnesspal.com/<username> and it'll take you to their profile.

Thanks PureAndHealthy. I guess I could do it that way, now couldn't I? Would be nice to have another search method though.
