Don't you just love MFP because...

I totally get your point; I actually got addicted to MFP more than to getting fit in general. I'm always here, it's ridiculous. :laugh:

Totally agree but there were two crazy ones I had to block way back.

I love MFP and here's why:

1. You can add someone as a friend and they don't question your agenda.
2. You can unveil all your fears and insecurities and people will support you.
3. You can show off the smallest success and people will be proud of you.
4. You can show off the biggest success and people will cheer you on, without judging you for posting pics of your new sexy body.
5. People are friendly here.
6. People have the same goals, and they work together.
7. It is pretty much IMPOSSIBLE to make enemies here, or to be disrespected or mistreated.
8. Everyone is so welcoming, and you'll always belong on MFP

Just some reasons why I love MFP and the gang here.

While I have to say, I've seen #7 happen to people occasionally, in general, I have to say YES TO ALL on your reasons to love MFP. I lost 45 pounds beteween September last year and March this year (and holding steady since the end of March) and I couldn't have done it without MFP.

I absolutely love mfp! It's refreshing to see someone post on all of the positive aspects of mfp, instead of ranting about the negative.

Recently I've been sucked into some of the more negative threads, but I am totally thankful for the gracious, awesome community here. People have been infinitely helpful and supportive when I have asked for advice or help. MFP has also inspired me to do a lot of research and reading about nutrition, calorie deficits, etc., so I have gained a ton of new knowledge since joining! I used to use another tracking website and the community wasn't nearly as welcoming or helpful as MFP. This place rocks.

I can't help but question the purpose behind this topic. One might even say that I'm questioning your agenda.
*Waits to be taken seriously.*

I love this post.

We must have the exact same friends.

The Points I 100% agree with: 3, 4.
The points I 50% agree with: 5, 8, 7
The points I have to kindly disagree with: 1,2,6.

For 3 & 4 I have found that all the members who post get positive feed back about their sucess and can/are inspirations for others to get motivated or keep going.

For 5, 8 & 7 I have seen many posts where people have disrespected or come straight out and told others that they opinions/excercise regime/food diet/weight loss diet where absolutely rediculous and how could they be so dumb (I put that nicely) for even thinking that what they are doing is even remotely right. Then there are other members who are not like this are will give SOUND, REASONABLE advice as to why they disagree with your choices without being threatening or rude about it. I would say that many of the people are APPEAR friendly, but you must realize that this is the internet and what you think and read about someone may not be who they truely are in person. But then again some people are genuinely nice and kind people who want nothing more then to support and provide a helping hand to others in need.

For the rest of the points: 1) I have read posts where people rip apart others eating habits after the OP made their diary public.
2) NEVER fully unviel your secrets/insecurities/deepest darkest fears on the internet or to people you don't know. Period. This is true in every aspect of your life. You have no idea who anyone is or what will happen with the information you put out there.
6) Though many of us are trying to loose weight, not all of us are doing it the same way or have the same goals in mind. Some are trying to gain weight; some are trying to loose bf; some are trying to gain muscle or completely bulk up; and this is the REALLY sad one, but I read two seperate posters who's goal where trying to loose weight and "seemed" to promote a pro-ana life style.

My suggestion is to stay longer and realize that not everyone is on the same page and we all just need to learn to get along....though some members are already at that stage of getting along and their AWESOME!

For the most part, it's what you make it. So you must be pretty awesome.

Haha.. you're right, I have an agenda. I want to share how amazing I feel!

First have to say how adorable you are and what a wonderful spirit! I agree that MFP is awesome and I suspect, so are you. Great post

This much sugar can't be good for me.
