    I'm hardly on at all. And I rarely post in the forums. Those addicted need to get a life.

    anyone notice this person ^^^ on page 1 has 4,132 posts hahahaha.....but me, no, between work and my massive excercise routine (i hit 939 minutes last week) i'm not on here a whole lot other than to track food and excercise minutes, though i could see easily being addicted if i spent more free time on here instead of excercise :tongue:

    (edit for acurate excercise minutes instead of a guess)

    I noticed that too

    Am I addicted to MFP? I can honestly say no. It passes time. What I am addicted to

    The blood, the sweat and the tears...

    The pain of a good workout... the muscle burn you get when you press yourself that extra set with a few more extra pounds....

    The thumping heart beat when you push your run or jog an extra minute or three...

    That's what I'm addicted to...

    I am pretty obsessed but I think in a good way not a bad one. I'm not starving myself but I like to keep myself on track as well as support my mfp buddies.

    Its my drug of choice.

    I agree - I missed my friends posts this weekend while I was camping because there was no cell service. But yet I still did log my food. I was totally glad to come back to see my MFP family. I missed them while I was gone lol

    OMG, it's insane!
    Forget FB (history ages ago), Twitter, Instagram, Youtube. Now it's MFP!
    Maybe if I dropped the pounds as quickly as I clicked refresh on this site. I may be off MFP for good!
    Ha!

    I am logged on the whole time while at work and I check on it all day long. When I am home I use the phone app and check on it ten or 12 more times. I am addicted.

    I guess I am to a point, but I work on the computer all day, so it's not much of an effort to tab over. And I do have a good many friends on here that I love talking to and seeing how they are doing.

    Not sure if I would say addicted, but I do like it, and it has provided me progress. I think it is a good place to stay motivated and motivate each other. So I log in often, have the app as well so that makes it easier to log in.

    If by addicted you mean it's the first thing I check on my phone when I wake up, last thing I look at before bed, have conversations about my MFP friends as I could any friends I have offline, and have a browser open the entire work day then....Nah, I don't have a problem at all.

    Me neither LOL

    Me too.... and proud

    Addicted. And admitting it is the first step right?

    I am with you! I check it many times a day, it's not blocked at work, and keeping surrounded by those with the interest of fitness and health helps to keep that first and foremost on my brain :)

    Let's just say my keyboard is caked in crumbs and a mystery goo cause I eat all my meals/snacks on the computer scanning through everything on MFP. My son bugs me to play with him on & off throughout the day and I tell him to "wait just a minute, mommy's working"....I have to say "work" is great (:

    Am I addicted? I don’t think so! Yea, I know I forgot about my Face book friends, but they know where to find me: http://myfitnesspal.com/sbarbry

    5:15 am – turn off alarm
    5:16 am – checking MFP on my cell phone for the mini challenge of the day
    5:30 am – morning bathroom time and checking MFP on my tablet
    7:00 am – 3:30pm - at work (I am checking MFP again, before I check my work email. I have 2 monitors on my desk and one has MFP up all day) -
    4:00 pm – bedtime – logging, reading the message boards, etc…..

    Maybe I am, but don’t judge me!!!!!
    :ohwell:

    I'm not addicted. Sometimes I can sleep through the night without checking. :laugh:

    And sometimes I wake up at 2 to go to the bathroom and I check it. :blushing:
