I need MFP to become my new facebook

Silvara_11

MFP is my new facebook and I agree that FB diverts attention from your goals. Its like a pseudo-world where everyone is trying to project their best image many a times, unlike MFP which is very real and everyone accepts that they are humble, susceptible to weight gain and need to do lot of hard work to achieve their goals...
I'm not saying FB is fake, I am there too, its just that somehow, all photos, statuses updated here, the support of MFP friends (who by the way are mostly your online friends) is very genuine. Compare this with FB and you know what I mean...

^^This! Totally! It is not look at all the cool things I'm doing on my flash holidays, MFP is look at the crap I ate and help me stop. Look at all the hard work I've done and cheer my success and I'll do the same for you. MFP is my new FB

MFB has become my new FB now that I use it all the time. With the amount of daily support you receive from friends, daily logging and interesting topics in the community forums which I actually learn from, I find that I'm now on this app all the time and I'm barely on fb at all now. The only other reason I still use it is for my teammates group posts. I also have 120 lbs to lose and now find that any time spent on fb could be spent working out instead.

I came here because my Facebook friends would post rude comments about not caring if their friends went to the gym, worked out, lost weight etc. The way I see it they are probably jealous of positive changes I'm making for myself. Everyone here is in my corner and there's so many inspiring people who I have more in common with. I love the friendships I have made on MFP :-)
