When you log your entire meal plan in the morning and actually measure portions out to be SURE that you don't go over those calories. :drinker:0

when you know that calorie counts off the top of your head and the 1st thing you do each morning is log in!0

Oh oh oh oh...when you log in your exercise before you have even gotten off of the machine. Or from the parking lot of the gym. :blushing:0

- you calculate the calories that you want to add into your calorie goal before you go work out
- you grab your phone on the way home from the gym just so that you can log said calories
- you measure random condiments throughout your day just so you'd get the numbers right on your food log
- you plan what you're going to eat during a party/event the next day before you even think about what you're going to wear
- you keep MFP up on your computer while doing everything so you can switch over anytime to check your newsfeed
- you totallyy understand the Success stories, no matter how small of an NSV was just posted0 -
-when you are standing on top of a picnic table in the middle of nowhere...in order to get signal from your cell so you do not lose your consecutive days in a row. *It's only crazy if I think so....lol
-when it takes you 30 solid minutes to log your food....cause you want to be honest with yourself and your MFP buddies ;-) On your cheat days...lol
-when your friends who aren't on MFP know the terms BUMP and NSV.
-when your friends in real life know your MFP friends names and how thier lives are going...lol
The first step is admitting you have a problem....I'm not ready yet!!!!0 -
Your husband knows to get the laptop out and bring up MFP in the morning before putting it in his work bag. I log as I pack my lunch.

You warn someone the amount of calories, carbs, protein, sodium, and sugar of a specific food they're about to consume. Drives my friends crazy :devil:

When you do jumping jacks and push ups in the bathroom at work so you can meet the day's challenge!
I'm guilty of weighing myself before and after using the restroom too. :blushing:0 -
When you search on MFP for an answer to a question before you search Google!
When you cannot get anything accomplished on the computer because no matter what you sit down to do you end up on MFP.

I got another one....When you slam a nalgene of water just because you haven't been able to meet your water quota for the day. But are sure to weigh yourself BEFORE drinking it!!!!

When your young adult kids ask why you don't comment on their posts/pics on facebook anymore. They used to cringe when I was on facebook...hahahaha!0

I was thinking this same thing.. I told one of my "3D friends" you know you havent logged on to MFP in a week!! Girl don't ask me to recomend anything else!-when you convenience one of your real friends to create a mfp account. then they don't log in for a week and you get upset.

Yes!!!!! My husband said" first facebook and know MFP when are you gonna give me some time?" LOL I tried to get him on here but you know how men are...When your husband gets jealous of your MFP friends and how you converse with them and not him! Oops!!0 -

-You want to randomly compliment people on their fitness as you walk down the street. Great Job!
-you go on a trip with your friends and family and all you can think about is how much you miss MFP and would rather be at home, eating right, working out, and on MFP all day.
-you talk to your MFP friends as much or more than your real-life friends
-you stop thinking about what your next Facebook status will be and start thinking about what your MFP status will be.
- you plan what you're going to eat during a party/event the next day before you even think about what you're going to wear
- you plan what you're going to eat during a party/event the next day before you even think about what you're going to wear

Feel yourself checking facebook less and MFP more
^^^^^Thats ME!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
1. When you have two or more tabs/windows open. One for your MFP timeline and the other on the MFP Message boards. Constantly refreshing.
2. Looking up the calories of food in the MFP database BEFORE you go out to eat.
I'm always planning what I'm going to order so that I don't go over my quotas for the day. My hubby hates when I do that. Anything diet or exercise related that I talk about, I get the eyes rolling from him. Never that from any of you. You accept me and my obsession. :-)
3. Log into Facebook, but go to the MFP page. LOL0
