      I find this has a better meaning than Facebook. Facebook is all crap. I have on but I find myself on here more often than there.

      The people are about 100000000x more interesting, entertaining, inspiring, and just generally fabulous on here. I wish the people I knew in real life were a tiny fraction as awesome as they are on here.

      Also, there is a lot more eye candy on here.

      me too , people here are much happier responding to posts and what you do and you can also interact outside your friend group and make more friends

      Agreed plus being/getting fit is like being a part of a club you want to talk about it get opinions and share victories Everyone outside the club either doesnt care or just doesnt want to hear about it But all of us in the club share the same excitement

      Simple. People on Facebook are real where as you all are figments of my imagination. So here I'm free to say whatever I'd like, you're all really just me anyway.

      Facebook and MFP are about the same in my opinion. Both are filled with threads that look like they came out of a high school locker room... both have married people trolling for some grease on the side... both have inordinate amounts of naked torso dudes floating around... both have "drama" (just read the forums for 10 minutes, if you can seriously with a straight face say there is no drama on this site, you either cannot read, or do not understand what drama means)... and both highlight some of the darker areas of the human race in what we value.

      However they both provide ways to stay in touch with people... like minded or not.

      Carry on with the lulz.

      No stupid pregnancy progression pictures! And few, if any, stupid bimbos bragging about how they "have the bestest husbbie in the whole wider galaxy!"

      I don't know that its better, just different. People here are supportive, because we all share something in common, other than a zip code, high school, work, etc...

      Facebook is what you make of it. I use (my training page) for motivation, inspiration, encouragement and sharing photos, etc.

      It's better because I'm not the only fat person on my friendslist. :) And I mean that in the nicest way. I feel comfortable here with people who understand what I'm going through in my weight loss journey.

      because there is no immature teenagers that pollute your threads.... oh well never mind.... it is just the same I agree...

      Exactly! You can say stuff on here, and read about stuff on here that doesn't work where you actually "know" the people (assuming that most of you know your FB friends. I can say stuff here that my Mother will never hear about!

      This! :laugh: And the fact that my friends on here are mainly striving for the same thing with the same struggles and successes. Not all my Facebook friends understand why or how I need to do this, not even some of my very best friends.

      But variety is the spice of life, so I still use FB, just less frequently... perhaps when Zynga brings out a MFP game I will, lol! :flowerforyou:

      ^^ this! i dont have coworkers and bosses on here!

      Plus the motivation, the support, the same goals, etc

      oh, and the feed isnt cluttered with games and stupid crap. There is plenty of stupid crap available, should i want to read it, but it is not streaming down my feed! I just wish MFP had more notifications.

      I agree. I don't feel as comfortable expressing my weight loss journey on FB (just result pics!). Everyone here has a common goal so If I want to talk what I ate, how many calories I burned, rejoice about how much weight I’ve lost, etc. I get the support that I need instead of a “so what” response.
