Or post your weight loss on Facebook? Do you prefer to announce the weight you lost to your Facebook friends? Why or why not?

    No. I don't do Facebook anymore. WAY too much religion and politics, both equally repulsive.

    No because if I want to tell all my friends how much I've lost I can do that my self and I don't want them to know every little thing II'm doing in any of my life. weight loss or other

    Nooooo, definitely not. I annoy my family and friends on Facebook enough with posts about my kiddos and other things they probably don't need to know about my life, but I choose to share anyway...I'm sure they would rather not know (nor would they care) when I've dropped a pound or went down a pants size!

    I have received all of the support I need (and more!) from my amazing MFP friends! :love: :heart:

    Nope, when I first started here I didn't want all those people to know the details of my weight loss journey. Now, I don't care who knows but I just don't feel the need to connect it to Facebook.

    I don't because I think it would annoy some people and give others an excuse to have more of a look into my life than I'd be happier for them to have.
    I have pictures of me now on facebook looking a lot better than I did and have had lots of compliments and people asking how I did it, then I'll respond publicly and tell them.

    I mention it when I hit milestones, but I really don't see the need to let everyone know what I'm eating every single day.

    I make a weekly post commenting on my progress and referencing the ever growing list of things I intend to be able to do. I also posted a few pictures. Otherwise, I hang out around here. MFP is better than Facebook anyway.

    Absolutely not! I have weightloss friends on this and another forum. I have family and work people on FB. They don't need to know all of the details. LOL!

    This is more of a personal journey for me. There are definitely "friends" (more like acquaintances) on Facebook that I don't really feel like sharing such things with. I'm sure when I reach my goals it'll (hopefully) show in pictures on Facebook, if people ask I'll divulge a little.

    MFP is my homepage and I actually check it more than Facebook these days :)

    Same here, I don't because I'd like friends and family to notice for themselves in person!

    No, I don't want those friends to hate themselves even more when they keep seeing my progress posts. Nor, do I want them to hide my comments because they're sick of seeing my progress. This is the only community to share that info, because this is the only community that gives a ****.

    I haven't had a FB in a while, but I still wouldn't link the two if I did. For me, this is a much more personal matter and I wouldn't want people I was friends with 10 years ago in high school to know or see it. If we happen to run into each other in person and they notice weight loss, then thats fine.

    No.

    Most people do not want to hear you droning on and on about eating healthy foods, exercising and losing a pound. Eventually, the pictures you post will show off your progress and dedication, and those who are interested will ask you about your methods.

    People often mistake lack of interest in the details of their every idea and action as a lack of support. You really don't need every person you've ever met to provide constant attention, encouragement and compliments in order to succeed. You just need a good plan, some discipline and self-motivation to reach your goals.

    I don't mention my health and fitness behaviors to anyone unless they specifically ask me how I've accomplished my goals.

    Nope. I figure when people see me they can see my progress.
    And since I've become active on MFP, I rarely go on FB anymore.
