    At least for me. I find I come here first (and to the success stories thread) every morning and night!

    Have to admit, it keeps me going.

    You guys are amazing.

      Lol! This is very true for me. I am always on, whether I'm posting or just lurking.

      I do the EXACT same thing! Seeing what people have done makes me super confident that I can do it too!

      Exactly the same for me! I find (most) people on here so helpful and motivational, and facebook has a lot more drama and fighting.

      I always come to MFP first and it's the last thing I get off of. =)

      I do the same thing! I check FB on my phone every once in a while, but MFP is where I spend all my time! Love it!!!

      Yup. Seems a little easier and less (look at me I want attention) to talk about it here, be it losing weight and bragging or having a bad day, than on Facebook.

      I LIKE when people brag on here. I can't wait to do the same!

      I agree. I am on here constantly. On here my friends and I have a common goal. Facebook noby really cares. To much drama for me on facebook.

      I'm on here about the same amount but I'm definitely more excited to be on here than FB
    • Posts: 679 Member
      Yeah, it is a bit easier, although there are those trolls, and some rude people. But majority are nice and helpful no matter whats going on in your day.

      I like when people on here brag! It's always nice to see how proud people can be of themselves. I cant wait either!

      I have never facebooked. My husband tells me I don't facebook I mfp!! :love:

      I'm always on here and I find the people on here talk sense rather than the moaning cr*p on fb. :)

      I'm in the same boat. I hit the 20 pounds down on here and all my mpf friends were so happy for me. Posted it on facebook and I mean my family was really the only positive feedback. An old friend from high school told me I shouldn't have gained the weight in the first place. Last time I will post about weight loss on there. I love this site! Nobody puts you down for the weight you gained. Instead they are happy you are hear and doing something about it. This site is hands down better than facebook.

      I check facebook about once a week. It is boring. But I am on mfp all day everyday. I love it here. I haven't told anyone on facebook that I have lost weight. I know none of them will be supportive like all the amazing people here.

      YES!! I spend way more time on here. I love not dealing with the drama of FB
    • Posts: 586 Member
      Oh yes, I actually deactivated my fb now mfp is it for me. It keeps me focused.

      I've always hated FB. But I love MFP!

      I am enjoying MFP over FB. Enjoy the successes, tips and humorous posts!
    • Posts: 93 Member
      I am the same!!! Ever since I discovered MFP, I barely even go on FB anymore!

      Same here. I alternate pretty evenly between this and FB now, but in a lot of ways I like MFP a lot better! lol

      Me too. These forums are more interesting to read than the pointless status updates of people I don't talk to anymore. lol
    • Posts: 15 Member
      I came to the realization this week that I need to spend more time on here than on fb so I made MFP my homepage!
    • Posts: 31 Member
      Glad I'm not the only one. I spend a lot of time here it keeps me motivated I only get on FB every couple days.

      I have a Facebook account, but rarely log on. I only have it for family or old friends to be able to find me. I really never liked it, but I do like MFP a lot! This has become my social outlet, and it's good because everyone is here for the same thing without losing focus on what you are here for in the first place.

      I'm the same way! I love coming here to see everyone's success! It motivates me beyond belief!
