I just realized that I am spending more time on MFP than I do Facebook.

Score!

    Agree completely...I only got a Facebook account because so many apps require it for registration.

    You figure both sites 80% of the content is someone saying they had a sandwich for lunch. Might as well figure out the Fats/Carbs/Protein of that sandwich.

    I'm the complete opposite! I've always hated Facebook, absolutely refused to go on it! My daughter started me a page, I've had people try to be my friend, but I WOULD NOT GO ON FACEBOOK!

    The other day, my aunt complimented me on my weight loss, and my daily exercise. I asked her how did she know, and she informs me that she saw it posted on my facebook page!

    I had no idea that both MyFitnessPal and Endomondo have been posting to a page I completely forgot I had!

    I think its somewhere where people put status's such as "Its snowing" or similar such drivel. Oh and where teenagers at 13 are "in a relationship" :bigsmile:

    apparently 1 in 8 people on the PLANET have a FB account. could you imagine how healthy this world would be if they all had MFP instead?!

    Never was a huge fan of FB. I just use it once in a while.

    Besides, its far too dangerous being FB creeper versus MFP creeper.

    Face what?

    I keep mine to stay in touch with family and friends, since I'm the one that moved slam across the country, but I am here SOOO much more than there?

    I am almost always on MFP and go days without looking at FB. I guess I have traded one addiction for another, but I am shrinking while I do this one, lol. :bigsmile:

    I've deactivated my Facebook and Twitter accounts. It's so liberating! But yeah, I'm on here a lot more nowadays!

    I gave up Facebook in December. I'm barely there now. I check in with one group of friends or when I haven't heard from my kids in awhile. I'm here everyday. I love it so much more than Facebook....and my husband is actually on here, too; he's never had a FB account.

    What a great statistic about FB members and the idea of them all getting MFP accounts instead!
