    ... you are driving down the road, see the word "bump" and forget what it really stands for.. (which leads to a very aggressive jump of your car... ouch) lol- true story..

    you're turn!!!!
    You find yourself posting relevant pictures to forum threads rather than adding anything useful. :drinker:

    Hey! Speak for yourself. I can spell! lmao! But, totally, this is my new Facebook addiction. I say things on here I would NEVER say on Facebook. I also tell you guys things before I tell others, too.

    ...when someone askes OMG what have you guys been doing to lose this weight? And you whip out your phone, show them the app for mfp and keep talking on and on and on about all of it's awesome features! You mention all of the supportive people and the scanner - then they can't shut you up, LOL!! Can't help it, I'm just a little passionate about it! :ohwell:

    I think part of the reason this is more addictive than facebook, it's a bit more annonymous. I can't say "argghh my significant other is pi$sing me off on Facebook. Then all of our friends know, and it's a whole big drama thing.
    Here you can say whatever and nobodys going to start a hulaballo over it.

    All of these are awesome haha


    Weighing yourself & running to tell MFP asap

    or

    Before ordering or eating something bad I think let's see what MFP says about this,...after looking up the calories its never worth it.

    hahaha, my husband makes fun of me. He's like "ok, bust out the phone and see how many calories that such and such had..." He used to get upset that I would immediately log things, but now he just doesn't say anything, lol.

    I totally agree. That, and friends here seem to ACTUALLY care more than "friends and family" on Facebook, in my opinion.... I have 370ish friends there and 170ish friends here, yet IF I was to post the same status in both places, I always get at least double, triple the amount of replies here, than there.

    HAHAHA, I've been doing this to just about everyone I know, I think they're getting a little sick of me! :blushing:
    You think to yourself I will just have a sneaky little bar of something yummy and then resolve that you would have to log it so it's not worth it!
    That is so me, I only had three pieces of candy yesterday because of that!

    True story...hear on the car radio about a local mexican restaurant having a special on fish tacos. It's funny all over again. As soon as you get home, you make it your status update so all your friends can think it's funny again, too.

    You find yourself saying
    "oh but the sodium, oh but the fat.......HOW on EARTH TO DO GET MORE PROTEIN"

    You find yourself explaining to people that you have to eat 1000 more calories, because you burnt 1700 and you eat back your exercise calories.

    ...MFP is more fun than FB
    Um, but it is !!!

    I think my sleeping problem now is too much MFP now, not too much Facebook.....

    "Must. Not. Go. Near. Computer. After. Bedtime. And. Before. Rising."

    Hahaha! that is soooo true!

    totally.. the worst part is when you are on MFP and procrastinating working out.. lol kinda defeats the purpose I think ;) I can't help that my MFP friends are so irresistible! lol

    I have done this and it took a LOT to get me to peel myself away from the computer to get off my bum and work out!!

    I feel accountable because every morsel of food will be logged in here, and I put more effort in my exercise because I know I'm burning calories -- and it will be logged in here! What's FB again? LOL
    I love MFP and my MFP family!

    You get good news and want to tell your MFP friends rather than your "real life" friends

    ^Guilty
    your real life friends ask where you have been
    you log in drive thru and drive away deciding the calories aren't worth it
    you have a "wish list' of MFP friends you want

    ^Guilty


    OMG I feel so much better!! lol

    When you stand on top of a picnic table at a camping site...jumping up and down to get logged into your phone...so your consecutive day streak doesn't come to an end ;-)

    AND/OR

    When your ordering the jerk raspberry flatbread at the Greene Turtle and you tell them to hold the raspberry sauce. And you PROUDLY inform the waitress, "It's not worth the 350 calories."

    All of your excel windows have been formatted to show the top part of your browser. Therefore allowing you to see when you've received a notification from MFP to your email.
