    Yup MFP has definitely replaced my FB , I am on MFP all day - i just leave it open hop on to count my food and exercise check up on my friends and see how they are doing then go back to whatever it was I was doing that day! I check FB only a few times a week, and I don't miss it much! :smile:

    Haha! Was just saying this to my mom! I care about my friends' successes on MFP!
    Good luck on your goals, everyone!

    Yes. I used to log into facebook every day, but I started realizing that almost 90% of the stuff in my news feed I couldn't care less about :P I never learned anything from facebook except how to take a picture of yourself with a duckface in a mirror... I think MFP is a much better "time waster" than facebook ever was. Plus, it's nice to be surrounded by people with similar goals and not the goal of "drinking til I puke every night all night so i can post pictures of how cool i am going to a party", lol.

    I keep both open, but MFP seems to be the best place to be! We all are here for the same reason! On Facebook, they dont' get me, and my fitness posts..and my weightloss posts...they get tired of me posting...here, people seem to be on the same page! MFP rocks!!

    ^^^ this!

    Yes...MFP is the best! I am here so much more than Facebook!

    I'm here more. On FB, people were always posting pics of food with recipes. I can't handle that!

    i haven't had facebook for about 3 years because on canada day a drunk ex told me he was looking through my pictures wondering "what happened to me" because of my weight gain. he said i used to be so pretty and now i'm just fat.

    so, after telling him i'm going to kick his *kitten*, i hung up and cried lol. then went and deactivated my facebook account.

    i don't miss it. but yes MFP had taken it's place. and i love it!

    I use both equally. I still use Facebook to keep in touch with my close friends and family.

    awe thank you very much :)
    he doesn't matter now, but it did hurt at the time.

    once i'm in shape, i'll post new pictures and once he tries to contact me (which i know he will), i will tell him to suck it :)

    I have a very one track mind. Other than working and raising my kids, fitness is pretty much all I think about. I figure people on fb get as tired of me posting about that as I do of them repeatedly sharing stupid recipes and crap. So I don't use it very much anymore.

    So far, MFP hasn't replaced my Facebooking, but some days I find myself on MFP more than others...

    Absolutely not. I like the tools to count calories and workouts on here, but outside a few on topic posts. I don't really read the forums. FB is different because almost everybody I'm connected to, sans a few followers, I have met face to face and have interactions with in real time. The rest is events invites, I stay connected with the communities I'm most involved with and build my day to day schedule there.

    Nothing wrong with MFP at all. Its just different.
