in Introduce Yourself
Joined last week and luckily enough I have a very good job with lots of flexibility however it is getting ridiculous, I am spending far too much time on this site - reminds me of uni days - anything to avoid work ? - not sure I have a great job but perhaps I am getting a little carried away - my partner has noticed already. I work hard raising his children as well as my own, I have a grandchild - perhaps I am taking it too far...

    Yes you are taking it too far. MFP is an awesome site but it doesn't pay the bills or make you closer to your family.

    I notice that people who are on MFP a lot don't have much of a life.


    Balance is the key!!

    You won't regret it. I thought the same thing. Been on everyday since Oct 2012. Friend me if you like. Support is good. Rasing a family and farm life isn't easy. Take a little time for you!

    Yup....guilty here too....I come here first before facebook most times now. Very time consuming and addictive, for sure. But a good addiction?? :)

    There is nothing wrong with being addicted to something that will make you healthier! Unless you're on here 24/7 like I am. lol

    I'm addicted to this site too! You are not alone! I log in all throughout the day. :) I find it easier to log what I eat AFTER I've eaten it...If I log ahead, I always end up eating something different and having to log on to change it anyway! lol And I love the message boards. :)

    I think I use MFP mroe than I use FB now. I think there are much worse thigns out there you can be addicted to though! This is a healthy addiction (pun intended!).

    This is my go-to site now. :) Here more than on facebook, LOL...Yup...hooked, too.

    I don't know which is best...seeing everyone's tickers move, or the support and new friends with similar goals. :bigsmile:

    Yes, love this site. I think it's the best tracker out there. accountability is what helps us lose and this is where we get it.

    I'm happy you're here and it is a wonderful community of people. I really have found the support to be helpful. As long as you can find the balance you'll no doubt get a lot of benefit. My MFP friends and the "Success Stories" are my personal favorites.

    A big 'Thank you for the laughs' to the posters who mentioned their high number of forum posts' :laugh:
