I truly belevie thsi site is better social networking than gibberbook.

Everyone is supportive of each other.

Its all about attitude and lifestyle change adn if i can do it ANYONE can,

Think the owners of this site shoudl do a MFP convention / meet up - lol.

Good luck to everyone whatever they need to loose - this is the best place to do it.

Chris.

    I couldn't agree more! I ditched FB years ago because it was so catty. I love this place! Everyone rocks!

    I agree, Chris. I love it that everyone is working toward a common goal. I am finding myself spending more time on here than FB, and I have learned so much just from reading the message boards. There are some people who like to be negative - but for the most part, the vast majority of people who post on the forums are very postive and supportive.

    Good luck to you!!!

    I totally agree...i never posted comments on fb and on here I'm different. Mfp is the best 'social' / lifestyle media site...and I don't work for them...lol. I tell everyone I meet about it.

    Well said. There is hardly any *****iness on this site (have noticed the odd thing on some blogs)unlike facebook and it's great to chat to people in the same boat as me . You and Tracy are doing great. Keep it up :smile:

    I haven't checked my FB in over a week, and really have no desire to check it any time soon! :)

    They are two completely different places for me and I have completely different reasons for using both so I don't think there is much to compare, even though they are both social sites :ohwell:

    I have had a great experience here!

    However, you obviously missed the threads about creepers and why some women only accept women friends because of all the creepers....

    I haven't really seen any of that so I am still blissfully happy.

    I feel more love on here from total strangers than people who "say" they are my friend on FB. I'm addicted to MFP. Truly are my "pals" :)

    ^--- This

    Facebook is only as good as the people you suround yourself with. If you surround yourself with catty people, then facebook will be full of it. I love my facebook filled with my family and friends.

    This site is a wonderful place to meet and co-exhist with people that are going through my same struggles.

    I agree with Faye...I love MFP for an entirely different reason. I love FB to, it allows me to stay connected to my family and friends all over the country. I have over 30 first cousins and we are able to really stay in touch through FB. I'm not "friends" with anyone on there that I don't know quite well. That being said, I do really like the support and inspiration everyine gives on MFP, its nice to know I'm not alone! I just started and have lost a few pounds so far, I think its a great way to stay focused and it really helps me pay attention to what I'm doing!
