    Both serve a purpose and I would argue that they aren't really comparable.

    The other day I was thinking about how similar Facebook and MFP are. Yes, I think MFP is better than Facebook in a lot of areas. :happy:

    Other than the fact that my work place doesn't block MFP (yet) where they do FB.... I would say they both serve different purposes... and thus have their own strengths and weaknesses.... Lately, I use both pretty equally.

    I spend more time on mfp than on fb. I used to check my fb first thing in the morning, now I check mfp first.

    For me it is. I find people are more honest on MFP than on facebook. And more supportive.

    For me lately MFP has been more interesting for me then FB. I check MFP first and spend way more time on this site then I do my fb. Just my opinion tho.

    They're two entirely different entities.

    I used to be really addicted to Facebook but as soon as I decided to kick my butt in shape I am on MFP more than Facebook. I never thought that would happen! :-)

    For me... Yes!! Facebook is mostly friends and family and their obnoxious lies about how fabulous their lives are. MFP is like a family in and of itself... so many people working toward one main goal - health and fitness. People also seem to be more open here... about their struggles, addictions, and even the little NSVs.. I find it refreshing.

    I actually spend more time on MFP now than i do on Facebook. I think because we all share a common goal, it makes it more beneficial. I wouldn't like to post on Facebook statuses all the time about my weight loss journey and my questions etc as i know people would get tired of it very quickly. On MFP however it's ok though because that's the whole point of the site and i think it is excellent. Very helpful indeed.

    I also like to read about other people's experiences of weight loss, seeing transformation pictures etc. Motivational. :-)

    this is like asking do you take the bus to school, or do you bring your lunch.

    the one personal difference for me is that facebook, i know most of my friends there personally. mfp is the opposite - i only know or have met a handful of my friends here.

    but the purpose of each is so completely different.
