in Motivation and Support
Myfitnesspal IS my new Facebook...I used to get bored at work and would just scroll through my newsfeed on facebook, just because there was nothing better to do. Now, I refresh my MFP page constantly because I don't want to miss any low-cal recipes or good exercise tips! AND it is just shocking to me how motivating everyone is! I've never stuck with a "diet" longer than 2 days until MFP...you guys make it so easy to stick with my goals :)) I think I'm in love with each and every one of you...thanks for all your support frans!


....Roll Tide.

    Totally agree!! When you go on FB its full of everybody mooaning and groaning about their life. On here people are actively doing something about it! I love the sucess photos, some people totally amaze me with what they have achieved!

    YESSSS! Even when I try to post stuff about exercising...all the boring, lazy, fat, unmotivated people could care less that you are trying to better yourself because they sure aren't! On here, it's the complete opposite and makes me think what I'm doing is actually worth something!!

    I said the exact same thing a couple months after I started. Just like FB, this site starts to wear on you after a while

    I only go on facebook these days to keep in touch with a couple friends and family. This site is so much more valuable! :)

    Ha! I was just thinking that the other day! I keep trying to find the "like" button. I wish there was a notification thingy though. I comment on so many peoples things, and then lose track.

    I took a break from MFP while on vacation. For a while MFP was my go to over FB. I'm trying to get back there. FB can be depressing and also is a waste, on MFP I'm staying on track and encouraged to keep going. I've been on FB since '04.

    Hmm, I never really thought of the two sites as being that similar. I use FB to keep up with the lives of my family and friends and it's blocked at work so never check it. MFP I use for tracking food/exercise and wasting time while at work on these forums.

    I still check FB nightly though and rarely get on MFP after work. Also, I don't have any FB friends that are not friends (outside the internet) or relatives. Everyone on MFP, including my MFP friends, are strangers.

    I completely agree! I just wish MFP had a better android app. Its a little buggy.

    MFP has combined a couple of social media tools effectively... Forums and Personal NewsFeeds.

    FB has no forums so there's very little interaction..mostly just people stating life goings-ons.
    Forums are good but don't have the personal interaction of a Friends list and NewsFeed.

    MFP incorporates both of those tools and the site is filled with people who have the common goal of bettering themselves, making it a positive experience to hang out here!

    It's replaced FB as my start-up page as of this past weekend.
