    FB: where most of my "friends" are immediately family and I've physically met them all
    MFP: where my family wouldn't be caught dead (and based on my wall - that's probably a good thing), and I haven't physically seen any of them.

    Holy crap how many sit ups does a female have to do to get abs like that jesus

    FB: When I share my weight loss goals, my progress, or my weaknesses, I don't receive any response or feedback. If I do, it's along the lines of, "You are getting too skinny" or "I wish I had the time to work out, you must have TONS of time...I have kids, work, blah blah BLAH, or skip the bread and pasta!"

    MFP: When I share any of the above, I am greeted by people who share my goals, applaude my progress, and speak about their own weaknesses.

    FB - where my friends complain that all I do is post fitness junk

    MFP - where my friends cannot get enough fitness junk postings

    Its not just me who has that problem then? ;)

    Nope, not just you two either. I have removed the link from MFP to FB and RARELY will post anything about my progress anymore. When I was told Iw as showing off and discoraging friends who "couldn't" do anything their weight, I stopped. For a couple reasons:
    A) No intentions to discourage anyone
    B) I KNOW those that said they "couldn't" didn't try and I don't have time for their guilt trips about me being healthy
    C) MY next progress pic will be enough without words spoken :)

    FB: Where you know most of the people on your friends list personally and they SAY they care about your health and well-being
    MFP: Where you rarely get to meet those on your friends list and yet they all REALLY care about helping you get healthy...

    FACEBOOK: it can get you fired from your job, because people constantly update what they are doing every second thanks to their smartphones.

    MFP: No one will believe you if you say you have a job...because we are always in the forums thanks to our smartphones.
