This is MFP not Facebook

Fabnover40Kat

Im not trying to be ugly but is it really necessary to detail every minute of your life like people do on FACEBOOK?!!!! If you want to rant and rave about personal problems, or post when you are going to the bathroom then do it on FB! If you want to post a comment about how your weight and diet is affecting your life then that is what MFP is for but I dont want to hear about your financial problems, in law problems , or your work problems unless it is affecting your diet!

Then defriend the people who do this all the time. YOUR MFP is where you choose to do as you wish. MY MFP is where I choose to do what I wish. If I feel like talking about a migraine, then I will. If I feel like talking about my life, then I will. You certainly don't have to read it, if you really don't want to.

Some of us don't use facebook. I don't. I don't tend to post every minute of every day, but if I wanted to, that is my perogative.

I understand your point... but I don't see that there's much you can do about it, aside from either ignoring what you're not interested in, or defriending the serial updaters.

I can certainly understand where this can be annoying. I guess people feel comfortable posting on this site because they're receiving such support from the friends (whether they know them personally or not) they have made on it. A lot of people don't make the distinction between this and facebook. If people are posting things in their news feed that bug you, you might want to consider not being friends with them on here. Not at all a sermon, just a thought.

Just hide the comments, or defriend.....

But those problems do affect weight loss because many people are stress and emotional eaters. As the PP said.. if it irritates you, delete them.

Hmmmmm. I'd have to agree with previous posters. Guess delete those friends? :huh:

Don't those things affect your LIFESTYLE CHANGE? They sure affect mine. And my running schedule. And my gym routine.

If you don't want to read it delete the people who are offending you.

First: you can either either defriend the person or don't read the thread

Second:

If you want to post a comment about how your weight and diet is affecting your life then that is what MFP is for but I dont want to hear about your financial problems, in law problems , or your work problems unless it is affecting your diet!

Stress can effect weight either by weight loss or weight gain. Just consider that perhaps the situation is effecting the persons diet.

If that's the worst thing in your life you have to stress over, you must have a truly blessed life. If only we could all live such a blessed life.

Fabnover40Kat

I did delete this person. This particualr person never posted anything about weight problems, diet etc.... I really think the person was only using it as a SOCIAL NETWORK. and Im not stressing about it I just dont understand why you would join MFP if you dont want to lose weight! Just sayin!

Exactly.

Naomi91

Well yea just defriend. dont rant about it to all of mfp. What is facebook known for? *****ing and drama. seems like you are bring facebook into mfp as well. I dont want to hear about your problems that dont include weight loss.

marianmaj

All stress will affect your diet; we are here to support each other. MY issue is with guys ( I am happily married) asking to friend me and leaving comments like "you look yummy" are guys trolling MFP picking up chicks? NOW THAT has nothing to do with diet; ladies agree? If my husband ever saw these comments he would reach into my computer and wring their necks! I only friend women.
