When you signed up for the Flat Belly Diet!, you completed a form to set up and customize your profile. You provided some initial information, including your program start date, your starting and goal weight and waist measurement, height, gender, time zone, and diet and fitness preferences. You can use My Profile to change these profile settings.

To access your profile:

1. Click the My Profile link in the top right corner of the main site, or click the Meet tab and then click the My Profile link on the sub navigation bar.
2. You can change the profile information displayed on the page. Please note the following before you make any changes to your profile.

• Your Personal Information can be public or private. Select “yes” or “no” at the bottom of the Personal Information section to indicate if other members can see your personal profile information.
• You can change your program start date, but note that if you have been following the program for a while and you change your start date you will reset your program. All progress tracked so far will be lost and you will start over at Day 1 of the 4-Day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart.

1. The My Preferences section of the profile is where you indicate which portions of your profile you want to share with other members, if any. Here you indicate whether other members can see your weight loss progress, blogs, photos, or video diary. You can edit these preferences at any time.
2. Be sure to click Save Program Changes to save any edits you make to your profile.

You can keep a photo gallery of up to 25 personal photos which you can keep private or share with other members.

To upload photos to your photo gallery, click the See Photos button on the My Profile page.

6. If you’re stuck or having a hard time starting, use the “core confidences” link to see a list of writing prompts to help get started for the day!
7. On the journal entry page, click the "View All Journal Entries" button to see and/or edit any of your entries. On this page, you can click to print out your journal entries.
