MFP time commitment

How much time do you think you spend on MFP daily?
Is it to log food and exercise, blog, encourage others, connect with friends or flirt?
Is it helping you reach your goals?

Just curious....

    10 minutes logging food. Hours upon hours flirting and trying to get the noodz.

    I spend a lot of time on it, for different reasons. I like to use it as a "non-judgmental Facebook" to air my grievances and get support from people who have never met me for the most part but are in the same boat I am. I like to help motivate people and make them feel better about what we are doing, and help keep them on track if at all possible. I know what it is like to not have the "real life" motivation and support, so I guess I am a MFP Cheerleader. I love to check out everyone's diaries because it can give me ideas for meals or snacks I haven't thought of before.

    Differences between MFP and Facebook:

    "I am going to walk my first 5k March 1st!!"

    MFP: YOU CAN DO IT!!
    FB: Can you do that?

    Far more than I should :laugh: however, I do find inspiration from my friends and I enjoy seeing what kind of work outs they are doing. Also, it's a fun way to pass the time at work.

    I am with her. It passes time being on her. Plug I log my food too. I am rarely on here at all when I get home.

    More than I would like, but I really don't see how I can spend much less. It really helps me, though. It isn't that I don't enjoy being here, but I don't want it to control me life.

    I made my account yesterday during a few drinks, but as I am looking through the boards,
    I'm making mental notes in what I plan to do in my future workout goals.

    I would say in the future I would most likely log on every couples hours when I have free time.
