That one person who needs to use MyFitnessPal

LazSommer

So they stop freaking blowing up facebook with their posts about the gym and pictures taken in the mirror flexing. Like I get it, you're narcissistic and love your body - good. Sweet baby jesus though nobody cares enough to get a 2 hour update on your quads.

I'd take fitness updates/pictures over endless chatter and photos of babies/kids any day of the week!

As someone who enjoys fitness and has two kids, I hate all of those equally. Maybe I should just delete Facebook.

LazSommer

thats me on FB you have the choice to unfreiend them or just scroll past their updates you know

But part of me enjoys seeing the evolution of their mental illness. MFP is great for that, too.

I'd gladly take all of those on Facebook over politics.

Clearly that is because you are a liberal who cannot stand to be DESTROYED by all the Young Conservative articles that are shared.

I love seeing my friends kids, what my friends made for dinner, the cute sayings they like, watching them meet their fitness goals

what else is FB for if not keeping in touch and posting your dailey news?

It allows me to keep contact with many people in my life that I would not be able to have contact with otherwise.

For instance a friend of mine from high school is on a high seas adventure rowing across the ocean right now with her husband, how cool is that? She posted all her preparations down to food packing which included high powered calorie content to get them through their rowing journey! So cool!

Also all my friends are going through a baby boom and I love their baby pictures and watching their kids grow! And dont forget the dogs! i love dog posts and pet posts!

perhaps you are just not an FB person?

maybe the problem is you?

None of what you said applies to endless gym selfies. It's great people love themselves that much, but it's sad that they need that much approval from others. I already addressed the rest.

Haha, no. Most of my friends are pretty far out there on the left. Let's just say I'm not.

For the most part I can deal with any kind of FB post but one time I did unfriendly a guy because it got to be too much. It was a combination of constant selfies, healthy food pics, and overwhelming hash tags.

It all applies, if someone loves going tot he gym then that is their lives, their personal dailey news. You dont have to look just keep scrolling.

You're missing the point; I do keep scrolling. And when I continue to scroll, I get their next update, and the next one, and then realize they've posted 6 just today of themselves either at the gym, going to the gym, talking about their extreme dedication to the gym, etc. Meanwhile, the rest of us that work out just as much (many of them much more so than these people) rarely make such posts. Why is that? Your fitness doesn't give you intrinsic value so you have to have others tell you how awesome you are?

One guy thinks he is God's gift to the gym. We all have to get at least 3 motivational posts from him a day about hard work and dedication to the gym and striving for perfection. Then when he hits the gym we get 2 pictures of him flexing. Afterwards we get another random picture and a recap of the day. Almost every day.

Hun, you're taking it personally. He has something he needs to prove to the world so let him do it, you dont so just be his friend, scroll passed what bothers you, and dont let him get u ruffled. Every one has flaws some people are narsiccist (me one of them). If you are going to take on a friendship/relationship expect to take people on with all their flaws and insecurities. No one is perfect, so let them post.

If it really bothers you then unfriend them

I don't get "ruffled," I just wish they would find a place like MFP where people would welcome that more than the general FB populace. I don't comment to him about it because he did a great transformation since High school and went from very overweight to shredded. He puts in good work and he SHOULD be proud, but I just wish he would realize there is a line between proud and something more.

Why are you "friends" with him? If it's that annoying, just delete the whole thing and stop complaining.

Because he's a good guy otherwise and he's fun to joke around with and when he's not posting his diamond calves he is fine. I have my quirks too and I'm sure he could delete me, but my quirks don't have a social media website dedicated to them that I could switch to.

Maybe some of them are proud of what they achieved? Shredded bodies don't fall off the back of trucks, one has to earn it. As others have suggested if you don't want to see it take them off of your Facebook feed.

Then I suggest you adjust his FB settings and make him disappear from your feed since closing your eyes or taking another approach - that of supporting him in the spirit of optimism - clearly isn't working. God forbid someone does something for their health...

Facebook is evil.

Deactivating my account was the best quality of life upgrade I've ever made.

So he's a good guy but otherwise his FB feed annoys you? Is your life so limited that FB can annoy you?

Have you politely suggested to him to try MFP? Where his fitness would be celebrated?

You say he's a good so he has a flaw, he like FB selfies and updates, is that the worst thing someone could be?

Just be a good friend, throw him a "like" everynow and then and keep scrolling

Is your life so limited that you feel the need to get constant validation of your gym success? Shouldn't your own hard work be enough for you?

And yeah, I think being narcissistic is one of the worst things someone can be. I think it masks underlying insecurity and is something that should be worked on lest it tear down all that you have achieved.

Actually I did and it was the same whining and b*tching. This thread was the easiest to quote so I did that. Thanks for questioning my reading and comprehension skills, by the way; really clever change of tactics you did there, since I didn't support you in your immature, public critique of your friend.
