    I deleted my MFP account last year because I found myself being too obsessed. And I guess the fact that I'm back under a new account proves that I really AM too obsessed.


    Seriously though, sometimes I do think I'm nearly unhealthily (is that a word) obsessed with this. Always thinking about food, calories, exercise.... it's not normal right?! I've lost the weight, I'm at a good weight now (less would be nice but not a necessity anymore), so why am I still so obsessed with this, wish I could let go more and just eat/exercise normally without thinking it over so much.

    Yes! It's embarrassing how much time I spend on here.
    Barely even look at facebook anymore.

    I am. Not only because it keeps me motivated, but because everyone on here cares more about me doing a workout than people on facebook. People probably go blah blah blah but on here they encourage me! I love this site. Yes, it's my social site as well!! And tons of people in similar situations!!

    Love love love it! I am a relative newcomer... I should probably get more friends who like to write because I only have a few. And the ones who I interact with are so supportive and help keep me going!

    I'm a SAHM and MFP is up and running on my laptop whenever I'm home. I check in every few minutes and log meals and exercise as I go...and read the message boards... and check in on my friends.....does that mean I'm addicted ?? ;)

    Yup, same here!

    I rarely go on FB except to wish someone a happy birthday and am on this site to log my food and exercise ... and then I get caught up in blogs and diaries and friends ... so, all of that does consume time!

    275 days ... 40 weeks ... 9 mos. ... 29 pounds lost ... as of my first day here on June 23, and counting.

    Funny I was just thinking before I found your post that if I could just stay on MFP all day long, I would lose the weight because it is such great motivation for not eating.:flowerforyou:

    MFP has definitely taken the place of FB for me. I get great ideas and support from this site. Love it!!

    Yes - totally obsessed. I've been sitting here for an hour about to go for a walk but scrolling through more and more community pages. But i'm getting up and going for that walk right now. Really. Right now.

    :laugh: Are you still here or have you really gone for that walk lol???

    Finally! I did the walk! And about twice as far as i intended. And note, the minute i'm back from my walk, i'm back on MFP!
