    I'll take it a step further than that: I had friends who were posting Cardio Trainer and Endomondo workouts so much, that I went out and dropped $400 on a mountain bike and started tracking my own workouts. Then, once I saw a couple people post about MFP on Facebook I downloaded the app on my phone and started using this website too.

    However, while we're giving credit to Facebook we should also give credit to smartphones in my opinion. ;-)

    I know the feeling. After my college graduation I was tagged in so many unflattering photos I untagged them all. That should of been a happy time but the way I looked it was horrible. Now days people want to take pics just to post them on facebook. I have a few pics at my of my higher weights but I can't wait to start posting pics I can be proud of. BTW keep up the good work.

    OMgoodness, this is true!! A similar experience for me...Last November, I was tagged in a pic on FB and I literally felt nauseated when I saw it.

    It was about another month before I found MFP...and a couple more weeks when I started counting calories. January 9th was the beginning of my journey. But to this day...I still think about THAT pic! Thank you, FACEBOOK! HeHe!

    Congratulations....you are doing great!!!!
    :)

    It sucks me that I have a really good close friend that Im NOT friends w on fb and we have mutual friends plus he's friends w my brother that I disowned. Hes always posting pics of me. I hate it!! We're not friends on there so why even post pics of me!! UGH!
    I guess the best benefit is he CAN"T tag me!! lol

    I am here because my husband took a picture of me then posted and tagged on FB. I was mortified and pissed lol. Then I realized... hey I can't be mad that he took the pic BUT I can be mad (at myself) for actually looking like that!
    That picture was taken on June 17th and I was signed up on here June 20th. I am now down 38 pounds and still going in the right direction.
    Thank you FB :)

    Very awesome - congrats! Keep up the great work! :bigsmile:

    Can't argue that, lol. Yay, smartphones & the great fitness apps that come with them!
