MyFitnessPal is the new Facebook

themethod

It's 2010, people... social networking is invading every part of your life. You can get Facebook alerts on your iPhone and tweet pictures of your daily life across the globe in seconds from your Droid. You can connect with your long lost best friend from 3rd grade and with your 3rd cousin twice removed from 4,000 miles away.

What you can't do, is find any place other than MyFitnessPal that is going to help you get your life back, and do it with support and positivity from complete strangers who have nothing to gain by helping you. I go on to my Facebook to catch up with my closest friends, and I realize that no one there (except for 6 of my family members who are also MFPers!) cares about whether or not I meet my next goal. If I post on Facebook that I met my calorie goal or lost 0.4 pounds, I am not going to get a single "way to go" or "nice work." But I can come to MFP and people I've never met will share in my happiness over even the littlest triumph, and if I have a bad day, they can come up with hundreds of ways to cheer me up in an instant.

I come here more often than I go to FB because it brings more value to my life.

Thank you, everyone!

I concur lol! Once again I'll say I absolutely love this site and its been a bookmarked webpage on my blackberry since the begining. Luckily my best friend is on here as well, but I'm also motivated by all the new friends I've made here. MFP is a godsend!

i totally agree with you. i stopped going to my other network such as myspace, and facebook.
i got rid of a lot of other social. before i found this.
and this is the main one i go to. everyday.

so i got 4 different ones. but i think this is more value than any others.
cause of all the people wooting and cheering and the motivation and the great atmosphere that brings

Vallandingham, my thoughts exactly!!! I definitely agree with you, method. MFP is so much better for my psyche!!! lol I do get congrats and good jobs on Facebook but those are usually from friends who eat right and work out as well. :P
