    Me too! I deleted my account in December. What a time waste!

    I deleted my FB account recently too.

    So true! Tired of the whining and lame videos on FB. I am new to MFP and would welcome more friends to exchange positive messages of support and encouragement.

    I still use facebook, but I get more out of MFP, and I only have 8 friends, none of whom I have met in person! It's great to see so many people working to better themselves.

    I feel the same way. Also I love the fact the people on here are not in my business. On facebook everything you say is dissected.

    I did recently change my home page to MFP since I am here more often, but I have to admit that I check FB several times a day too. It is a free way to keep in touch with my one son, by IM there, and also... I live in conservative, Republican small town Iowa, but am very liberal and accepting of alternative lifestyles, so I keep in touch with friends like me in other states. Otherwise I would lose my mind... more than I have already!

    I feel like the usage of FB has been tapering off at least for the people on my friends list. I don't see alot of updates on there unless they are political. I love MFP and how encouraging everyone is. MFP is definitely the new facebook.

    I'm anti FB...killed my account years ago w/too much sleuthing & drama going on....I enjoy the support and info on here....but...reading some community posts I do see 111# anorexic girls starving for attention with their sob stories that no one loves them because they need to drop another few lbs....or meat heads saying they're going "hoggin" for big girls.....sad that these few people feel the need to corrupt and abuse MFP....totally not what it's intended use is.

    I am part of a "lifestyle change and support" type group on FB so I do log in to check that, however I find that MFP is WAY more active than that group lately. I use MFP everyday, and I do have to say I probably use it more than FB now. It is definately more supportive and I love rushing to enter in a pound lost on MFP where on FB I don't think I would get close to the same reaction if I posted every time I lost a pound lol :P

    about the same here. I usually will do the facebook first because it is so quick. If there is little time it is MFP all the way. I love this link. I need to see I can do it too and the people that post here are a constant source of inspiration and hope. Thanks to all of you!
