    LOL! Well, I don't think I'll close my facebook..I've really enjoyed reconnecting over there. But I do spend a bit less time there now :)

    I too am thinking about closing my Facebook account. After watching Social Network and thinking about how much info I put out there (which is nothing compared to other), I am not sure I want it out there. I recently made some changes to my account and for now I am ok with keeping it.

    Definitely! I am on here all the time, or I am on the mobile application. I've lost 8.5LBS since starting 15 days ok. All of it is do to watching what I am eating.

    Feeling really good, still need to lose another 25LBS though!

    Good luck!

    My husband is on Facebook to stay in touch
    with other family members. I don't do FB but
    have been on this site since July 2010. I love
    to hear what other people are doing with their
    weight loss challenges and I take away some
    good receipes too. :wink:

    You can easily get rid of those requests on Facebook. Roll the mouse over the right hand side of the post, an x will appear. Click on the x and you will get a request to either hide all posts by that person or hide all posts by Farmville. If you hide Farmville you will never see it again!!! I do this with all the different games people play and never ever see any of them now. ;-)

    I am addicted!! I have been on this thing since April (before my wedding) I only used it on my phone and never got on through my computer. But this morning I decided to look at all the message boards and read post....I have never been more inspired and excited and committed to losing weight! i want to thank EVERYONE for all the support (even if you didnt know)

    I would love to talk to more people and have an accontability partner!!

    When I logged onto my FB a couple weeks ago, it popped a message, "Who the H3ll are you??"

    Honestly don't miss it.

    I agree this almost replaces my Facebook, I have/feel more love here than there anyways and friends on here are way more supportive and give a *kitten*, whereas my Facebook friends don't. I am sure I would go through withdrawal if I couldn't check in every day :bigsmile:

    Thanx to everybody!

    You are right, it is addictive, but is has paid off for me! I have lost 19 lbs. in 3 months using this site!

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Facebook, and I'm on there a lot. For me, it's a valuable tool for promoting upcoming gigs and events, and I LOVE keeping up with friends from around the country...and around the world.

    That said, if I didn't have the ability to block all the game requests, I don't think I'd be there. That stuff is maddening!
