    You check MFP's newsfeed more frequently than facebook's newsfeed. I'll admit it...I'm guilty of this. Now...if only MFP would get a darn "like" option for comments...:grumble:

    As I understand, there will never be a "like" button because Facebook has a patent or some crazy crap like that on it.

    I've never been on facebook. But I do get the shakes if I'm away from mfp. I use my phone for a quick fix.

    if you wonder does getting the shakes from MFP withdrawal count as cardio or strength>>>>>

    You secretly raid your friends' refrigerator just to scan the barcodes on food they fed to you while you were visiting.

    lolololol!

    When it says 'This site is down for maintenance please check back in a minute or two' and you spend your WHOLE ENTIRE MORNING clicking the refresh button until it is back up and running again.

    ^^This AND when your internet goes down and you're stuck using the app and can't get into the forums!

    you get mad when the server is down! I am hooked on Fitbit and MFP and I get totally mad when one of them is down and I can't sync them!

    I want a "like" button too. I went to the suggestions for improvements section and asked for it. No reply, and no like button so far, but if enough people ask maybe...
    couldn't agree more!

    When you're in a restaurant or bar and you ask to see the bottle of whatever booze you're drinking so you can scan it.

    Or you can't even enjoy the drink because you're too busy searching for it in the foods. :drinker:

    Been there!!! Get giggled at EVERY TIME!

    OMG.... yes..... And I check MFP first thing in the morning.... and I get up at 4:30 am. haha Also check it before I go to bed.... and about 49683413684364315 times inbetween.

    -When someone asks if I want the pizza I have to check and see if it fits in my calories.

    -can't go to certain restaurants because I have no idea how many calories are in the food because they aren't in the MFP database.

    -when someone mentions dieting/weightloss/exercise, quotes from MFP peeps come flying out of my mouth

    -can't wait to tell MFP friends about workouts because IRL friends are sick of hearing me talk

    -people talk about fad diets and I start emailing websites to calculate TDEEs, BMRs, etc...

    -pretend I'm working when in fact I'm refreshing MFP for the 1384 time to see if anything new has happened in the last .46852 seconds


    Seriously.... the list goes on...

    When you've been on here so long you already know how many calories certain foods will cost you. Better yet, when your friends pick a a food item at a party and say, "How many calories is this bagel?" and you know the answer. Asiago Bagel from Panera 520 with cream cheese AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Lol, hey it may be true, but not a bad thing! FB is all game invites anymore and it's being populated by the younger generation. At least you're addicted to a website that cares about your health

    Apparently...it's almost entirely composed of chain letter pictures and spam now. It's a bit like when your parents got on AOL 12 years ago and forwarded everything to everyone.
