    Completely different in my opinion and I keep my FB drama free.

    I don't have FB at all. Drama can be found pretty much anywhere (yes here too) if you allow it to fester.

    My Facebook is family and friends only. I kinda like this better sometimes because I can post what I want and don't care about the 'judgeyness' of the people I know. If the people on my Facebook saw the "Ask Tracy" thread they'd probably never speak to me again lololol

    This place used to be so much better when your forum posts would show up on your news feed, I always forget where I post and my friends never come join the discussion....

    This..... Besides I rarely go onto FB anymore. If I do, I get bored after scrolling for two minutes. I've seen all of the kids accomplishments, and the recipes. However... I do pretty much post what I want there as well.

    Lol, I'm a professional in the business and industry for years and still many of my FB friends and family are trying to tell me how to get people how to lose weight. With gimmicks and MLM's to boot. Dr. Oz is a favorite of many. At least here, you can get some accurate information.

    Don't forget about all the junk like "if you don't repost this you don't support our troops, hate kids with cancer, sick animals and America"

    I cant remember the last time I was on FB! I like that this is a positive place to be with like minded people who want to be fit and healthy. I have made some really incredible friends here and have an amazing support system!!

    I also deleted my FB account last year after 10 years of being a "user". Best decision I ever made. People are much more positive here and are less prone to rant.

    yes, I deleted my account at the beginning of the week and find I spend better time doing constructive stuff, and learning stuff from MFP members!

    I keep my facebook only so that I can easily log into different websites without having to remember usernames/passwords. Otherwise, I can't remember the last time I actually used the facebook site itself. I think it was a few months ago where my mom kept pestering me about something stupid she put on my wall. Yup. That dumb internet picture was sure worth the 2 weeks you bugged me to look at it

    I haven't done Facebook since May or June. I turned it back on for 1 month in December, only to remember why I don't go on it anymore. It's back off and I won't be back.

    I usually check this before I check Facebook. Only reason I have FB is for family who I do not get to see and they see pics of the family. Otherwise I'm on here! FB is so drama filled.

    Oh My God.. Yes. Or the mundane status updates.. like "Having roast beef for dinner. Yay!"

    I say MFP is my "FB for Health and Fitness". Much better than FB. Life changing if you interact and seek active friends (and do the work:)).

    I think I keep it mainly because of all the photos I have on there.

    The only one reason why I may go back to fb is because I was in Iraq for two years and made friends with a lot of Iraqis and would like to keep in touch.

    I quit FB 3 or 4 years ago. I missed it for about a month...now I am so glad I quit. It's such a drain in so many ways. As for the photos - I had over 1000 of my kids. I logged back in a few months ago and exported them all. Now they reside in my google photos, rendering FB useless to me. MFP I enjoy because I have a goal and I use it as a tool. I stay out of the silliness, I don't visit "chit-chat" and I'm very picky about who I let be my friend. I've been here since Jan 2013 - so far, so good. I've remained drama free, I've enriched my mind and body and I've met some like-minded ladies :)
