Has MFP replaced your fb?

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!

what an *kitten*! you look gorgeous in your profile pic.

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.

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.

I deleted my Facebook over a year ago, Facebook was dumb.
Been here for about 2 months now.
So, I can't say this replaced Facebook, but yes I am on here all the time and love this site. I am never on Facebook and don't miss it one bit.

Definitely ;-)

I'm a HATER...yep, a FB HATER! I keep my account deactivated most of the time. I just get on there every couple of weeks to check up on many of my family members. I figure if they're close enough friends/family they should have my # and can text me if they need something. FB HATERS UNITE!!!

I use my Facebook, some, because I have family on there. I use my MFP, though, several times a day - and look so much more forward to these interactions.

Still there but I now call it Fakebook.

well looking at your pic I'm not complaining

I don't do book of faces.

Yep. I was never a fan of fb anyway. And even though my friends on fb are actually people I've known my whole life, I'm actually more concerned about and closer to my MFP friends.

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

^^ this.
Like the original poster said, I care more about my friends on MFP and their progress than all the millions of mundane posts on FB. Although in saying that, were it not for one of my FB friends posting a link to MFP, I wouldn't be here at all :laugh:

Feel like i've ditched FB for MFP....its becoming such a natural part of my routine.....considering fully ditching facebook but then I think my friends that I see daily are on their. Feeling torn between supportive MFP friends and my FB ones!
