MFP is better than facebook!

Just wondering if people agree with me.
I think MFP is SOOOO much better than facebook! Facebook is full of nothing but drama (especially for us teens!). MFP has a lot of optimism and happy stuff! Of course, there are the occasional haters that make a profile just to hate, but there are more of us happy people than there are of them mean people. :smile:
I love it! :bigsmile: :heart:

    I like that on MFP I can post all about my fitness and eating and what I'm doing and how I'm going and people don't see it as "boasting" or douchyness.

    I will agree with this. I rarely spend as much time on facebook as I do on here.

    I agree, Facebook should be called Dramabook.

    Atleast the people on here are serious about losing weight and are here to back other people. If people have a bad day or put on weight, atleast people have the courtesy to say that too bad, keep up the hard work and it will get better.

    Very much agreed. I used to be on facebook a lot, but since I joined MFP I don't go on there a lot anymore.

    MFP is awesome <3

    Wow, it's refreshing to see such a positive post and thread. Keep it up, girly, drown out the whingeing of the pretentious and the snickering of trolls.

    Edit: I tried to say 'sn iggering trolls' and it censored me! D:

    I agree, I am on here way more than FB. Only time I get on FB is for games. Maybe MFP should start a chat option

    I agree. I deleted my FB account a few months ago because I was bored with it.

    I posted that same thing on my profile here last week. Also, instead of playing games, I exercise! Awesome!

    I like both sites... I agree Facebook can be drama but don't say mfp is not drama because I have seen a lot of people start drama on threads.

    guess the big difference is I don't talk to 16 year olds in FB, you should go to sparkteens.com

    Sadly it has a lot of drama-makers also though :/

    MFP has replaced FB almost completely for me! I rarely get on there anymore, and I love it.

    it's like we are in a lifeboat all rowing together! Trying to save our *kitten*! (so to speak) as we were doing our best before not caring about important things like our HEALTH... and enjoying more than the next BIG MAC or SODA or whatever your food of choice was! I think 99% of people here are positive, will encourage you, and are real... I visit the site a few times daily to log my food & exercise and find myself reading the posts more and more, success stories, questions... a lot of articles on here pique my interest these days. Cheers! Friends!

    I have them both open at once, while I work from home (on another computer). I do particularly enjoy the "positiveness" of MFP over the gripe-fest that Fbook often becomes, but my kids and other family members stay in touch through there.

    I prefer the Fbook chat options....

    Ditto. And I there are certain people I just don,t want to know, sounds weird maybe, but my mom and MIL and a few others. I would they rather not have this information.

    I use FB but this is different for me, only one person other than my husband,parents,in-laws know that im doing this.. I'm not ready to tell them, i know a lot of them are my friends but still. Different "relationships". But there is less pettyness, which I never would have guess w/ a bunch of women :)
