    I am on this site all day at work and several times a day on weekends. I am on facebook twice a week to catch up with family. This is a lot more interesting than FB and I think my time is better spent here.

    I'm on here more than Facebook too. I think it's because I get to learn new things here and that's always fun!

    Feel free to add :-)

    I dropped facebook a few months ago, and I think this may be replacing it a little... but with the added bonus of semi-anonymity!

    I feel the same way. FB is getting boring.

    I am addicted to this website. I have never had a drive to want to lose weight/eat healthy//be healthy until I started two weeks ago. I have an iPhone and I'm on here after every meal logging my food. I love the support from people on here. It's more than I get from friends. I am still pretty new and looking for more people to add who have a drive to succeed. So far I'm good on staying with my calorie limit. But excersizing i haven't stuck with yet. I just need to tell myself to just get up at 5:00 no excuses!!

    I can relate so precisely with you!! I have been tracking calories for 2 weeks, but only on MFP since Monday. I used to be so bad about facebook I would get annoyed with myself for checking it so frequently. I am definitely addicted to MFP already!

    I feel like I get so much more support here too, from people I have never met in my life and probably never will meet, than I do from my own sister whom I talk to multiple times a day.

    About getting up at 5:00 - I was like you three days ago. I asked my husband to wake me up at 5:30 when he leaves for work. I surprised myself and actually got out of bed!! I ended up purchasing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for only $4.00 and streamed it instantly. Therefore I had something new and exciting to work out to, and I had a great reason to wake up today early and work out again that early.

    Saturday might be a different story! :laugh:

    I only get on FB to post pics of the kids. Getting way to political, and just way to much idiotic drama. MFP is my new FB...lol...with not as many friends.....so far anyway...

    me too.my friend told me about mfp. she warned me how addictive this place was. I am finishing glasses of water just so I can tick the water box lol. I always use to log onto FB first thing I got to work but now it's this. I'm getting so much support and can't remember the last time I felt this motivated. Feel free to add me!!!

    Its much easier to say what's on your mind to MFP friends, and discuss weight loss... my FB friends could care less.

    facebook... what's that?

    I am definitely on here more but I was getting tired of my FB page anyway. It's more interesting here, I get tips about my weightloss, I can actually be open and honest about my weightloss, etc. etc. No one on my FB page even knows I am losing weight.



    ....you are so right........if any of my FB friends new how much weight I really had to lose I would be horrified...don't think they would be non judgemental like my fitness pal friends x

    I had only joined FB like 6 months ago, and this site is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better, I love getting the support from friends, and I log my food and exercise faithfully, its so motivating, plus if you have certain interests you can join a team for that as well....oh I too am on this off and on from morning till bedtime, plus I have the app on my iphone that makes it great if I am out and about and I need to log in something.

    I LOVE THIS SITE :love:
