Dammit! This has happened 4 days in a row.

Switching my computer off :mad:

    Gym first, then MFP! That should be your creed! I zone into MFP when I want to stay away from the fridge. Keeps my mind off eating at night. Usually works :grumble:

    Ok I have a better one for you guys! I train with my iphone cause thats where I put my music, I post my work out and get a huge kick of the encouragement I get in return!! Helps me continue my work out!

    But if this is not the case gym THEN MFP, you want something motivating to post no? :)

    Yes spending a lot of time on it but the support and friends are invaluable to me.

    I've learned to balance it out! Both working out and MFP are invaluable to me!!! Couldn't have made it this far w/o either one!

    Nothing keeps me from working out, except injuries of course... But I use the MFP app while at the gym and other places and then use it on the computer at home... when I need to be doing homework lol

    Both of these! This morning I was almost late to Spin because I made the mistake of opening MFP before the gym.

    Sure as hell more useful than Facebook!
    It doesn't make me skip the gym though, because I don't go to one. Never did like them haha
    I just do all my stuff here so I can peel myself off of MFP for a while to exercise then come running back :D

    I don't have a problem with it. FIrst of all, I'm only on when I'm awake. Secondly, I switch hands with the mouse every hour to achieve bilateral symmetry.

    :happy: I keep MFP in an open internet window at work and immediately log back in when I get home, but I'm not usually glued to it. I get satisfaction by immediately entering my meals for breakfast, snacks, lunch & dinner along with any exercise I've completed throughout the day. I can definitely see me being glued to it...on occasion I get carried away reading the success stories of others.

    I use the gym at work so my workouts tend to be in the middle of the day rather than first thing in the morning. I normally eat lunch and read a couple of inspirational stories from the "Success Stories" section of the forum. Problem is, the stories are so inspirational that I wind up reading about them for hours and pretty soon its time to go home. I guess too much of a good thing is bad.

    Gym first, then MFP! That should be your creed! I zone into MFP when I want to stay away from the fridge. Keeps my mind off eating at night. Usually works :grumble:
