MeFite LoseIt Friends?

September 4, 2014 5:40 PM

My LoseIt.com account informs me I have no friends. Are there any MeFites using LoseIt who would like to be LoseIt friends? We can trade contact info on MeMail.

I'm on MFP, not LoseIt, but just want to say keep it up. Weight loss is doable with these tools and it's pretty amazingly rewarding if you are able to make it work.

How could they possibly know how many friends you or anyone else has?

If it has public profile pages, you can add it to the SocialStuffs list to be included as a 'also on' MeFi profile choice.

I am a hardcore Lose It! user. I will be your friend!

LoseIt has profile pages, but you need to log in to see them.

e.g., http://www.loseit.com/#Community:Profile!id=7530660

I made a Metafilter group!

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with tracking. How can I join the mefi group? I'm not seeing any join options.

I'm with brilliantine. I'd love to join, but can't figure out how.

It's a private group, so you have to join through the link above; you can't search for it. Does that help?

I followed the link. Does that mean I'm a member? I just can't find anything to click.

Thanks so much, chesty_a_arthur! Now I don't feel like such a loser. I mean I do feel like a loser, but in a good way, not that other way.

I followed the link and was able to see the group, but I don't see any way to actually become a member. I'm not a premium member, does that make a difference?
posted by brilliantine at 10:27 AM on September 5, 2014

Yes, and yes would love to join group but even following the link while logged in doesn't help.

Same issue as Measured/brilliantine/librarylis. I'm not a premium member; maybe that's the difference. I'd love a little more support.

Inspired by chesty_a_arthur, I WILL FRIEND ANY MAN-JACK AMONG YOU who sends a friendvite to registr@ionatshepdotca; the "@" should be "at" and the "at" should be "@" and the dot should be ".".

I checked the features of LoseIt Premium and joining a Hidden or Private group requires the premium registration. Which sort of sucks, but there it is.
posted by angiep at 2:40 PM on September 5, 2014

I don't have the premium registration, so does that mean I can't friend any of you? :(

Look for me at Abigail at plumb hyphen larrick dot com. I am promiscuous and will friend ALL OF YOU.
posted by chesty_a_arthur at 6:15 PM on September 5, 2014

Kitteh, anyone can friend any other LoseIt member. I sent you a MeMail with my email address that I use for LoseIt. You can enter it and be my friend!

I, huh, apparently already have an account I have no recollection of making? Looks like a neat site - I am going to try it out. I bet having friends would help me get into it - MeMail me, I'd be happy to sync up with you. If I decide I like it enough well enough to pay up I'll join the group then.

Memail me. I just joined. I'd love a few friends (now to find room on my bookmark bar for one more site).
