Use to log on with my phone all the time to check on the who's and what's of a bunch of strangers. Now I am happy to say that MFP has replaced the facebook drama and I don't miss it at all.

    I agree I make sure I check in a couple times a day. I only log onto FB once a day to play my games!

    Yeah it's nice being positive instead of negative all the time, all that seems to happen on facebook is moan, moan, moan.

    Its not just me then!! I use MFP everyday and hardly go on FB anymore - the topics on this site are my 2 favourite subjects - food and exercise! Not only that but its helping me lose weight too.

    I just talked about this in my blog yesterday!!! Yes I was horribly addicted to FB and now I just can't wait to log on to MFP! I enjoy seeing what everyone is doing, bad and good, because we are all linked under a common theme and it helps me push on!!!

    Guilty party right here as well. MFP has definitely taken over as my newest addiction. Everyone is so great and supportive in all aspects of life, not just weight issues. If I did this on FB the naysayers would have me defeated inside a week.

    I use FB for fitness too. I dont have friends/family on my list, just fitness experts, doctors and past Biggest Loser contestants that I really liked.

    I completely agree. I am on MFP all the time and I have forgotten to check FB several times where I will go a day or two without checking FB. I find the message boards on here to be so informative and motivating.

    i log onto mfp first thing in the morning to catch up with all my friends and then im on and off all day to see what people have posted...this site is so much more motivational and the people you meet give you such support....you dont get that on fb...all you get on there is drama...and like one lady said...if you told people on fb what you share on here....they would have you feeling like dirt...not trying to lift you up....I love all my MFP friends......together we will do this!!!!!
    (only reason i get on fb anymore is to do my games....:-) )

    I love it here too! Much better than fb. Everyone is so positive and it's nice to be friends with like minded people.

    I totally agree! I used to be sooooo addicted to FB, but now I'm not even interested and would much rather log onto MFP to read success stories, encouraging blogs, and the best part is that I feel like a part of the group who is experiencing the same things through our weight loss journies. Even if I'm having a lousy day, I can log onto MFP and be able to refocus and get myself back into gear!

    Same here! I check fb maybe once/twice a day, but at work, this is my home page! It is my motivation. If I have the page up all the time, it's a constant reminder. LOVE IT!!!

    I'm on here way more than facebook, feels so much more optomistic on MFP.
