It is official. I am spending more time on MFP than on Facebook. I visit MFP before I check out Facebook. I never thought that would happen, but it has. :laugh:

    Well it's definitely more positive on MFP. I can't believe the stuff people post on FB! So negative, hateful & dramatic ... I'm loving the positive attitudes around here!

    LOL me too, by far.
    However, i always check FB first because I know i'll spend less time there then MFP. It's like how you go online to quickly check your e-mail before doing something else. I quickly check my FB and move on to MFP for hours :))

    I spend A LOT more time on MFP than I do on FB now too. The friends that I have made on this site are wonderful!!
    I only go onto FB to chat with a friend that I went to school with.

    I agree facebook is not as productive as this social site is. Here I am playing the game of "Me ville".:happy:

    I do that too! MFP is always my first stop when I log online. And I find myself genuinely caring more about what goes on in the lives of the people I know here than in the lives of my actual friends I know in real life. It's almost kinda scary, but I'm glad I found a community that I can feel like I belong and that is this supportive.

    I have more in common with my MFP friends than I do with my FB friends. Some that I haven't seen since high school.

    totally agree. I care more about my friends on MFP that i don't know , then i do about people i actually do lol

    Most of my time is spent on MFP. Since they're linked, I just post onto MFP and let it show up on FB. I still check FB periodically, but only briefly.

    I'm defintely in the same boat. I spend SO much time on MFP. I barely think about facebook anymore. I also talk to some of my MFP friends more than friends on facebook (which is by no means a complaint!)

    I must be the odd duck out, then. I check Facebook ALL the time. Here too but FB more. I can't explain it. Maybe it's because I've moved away from all of my friends so I don't get to see them very often. I keep up with them there. They know I've been working on my weight but I come here for that support. Some even know I keep up with my nutrition with "that app" on my phone, aka MFP. I love talking to my MFP peeps. I just talk about different stuff here than there.

    Sidenote: I do not play those "games" on facebook (Farmville, Cityville, Whoville, Youville). I don't understand using facebook for that. I remember when there was no such thing and I miss that.

    I was just thinking that today. I used to check my facebook all the time (ok I still do) but I do a quick read and logoff. I get on MFP and before I know it I have been reading positive, motivating stories for an hour!

    Yay!!!!! You've joined our ranks. I'm on MFP MUCH more than Facebook. I only go on Facebook if I get an e-mail saying I have messages there, or if I want to play a game!*LOL*

    We're all getting much too active for that...*fake snobby voice*

    I stayed home with my son for 6 months. I found FB to be my savior and link to adults. LOL Now I am finding this place even more addicting.

    I did the same thing. Too much negativity on facebook sometimes. :smile:

    Definitely agree. It's a toss up for me at this point. Old habits die hard and I always check FB first, but not for long - just look for any messages then come here.

    It is awesome to have a site with so much support and activity!!

    I certainly have more fun on MFP, with tons more encouragement too!

    I don't ever get "You look fat in that picture" here. :D So that's nice.

    Well if someone said that to me, they would be deleted and blocked so fast they wouldn't know what hit them!!! You don't need toxic people like that in your life. We are way more fun here anyway. :smile:

    Yes, i was an Fb addict but now MFP is creeping up slowly, and I seem to be spending more time here than FB. The only thing that FB had got over MFP is a like button! Thanks to all my MFP friends for the support, motivation and general caring nature. Together we will conquer ourselves and be a fitter world. x

    I keep this up all day long, and then check it when I get home:) I think you can say I might be addicted to this site! I do check FB, but I do prefer the encouragement here. I don't care to see what games people are playing-and get sick of seeing all those updates. I like the weight loss updates though! Haha!

    I am with you, I have MFP on all day while I am at work and when I get home it is the first thing I log into. I do still go read over everyone's status's in FB but that is it, I never comment on anything. So LOVE my MFP and all of my MFP friends, don't know what I would do without all of you :heart:

    I have been enjoying MFP a LOT more than Facebook lately. I can relate to people here. I can't talk about my weight on Facebook. It's filled with drama and negativity. On MFP I have people that I can relate to! People are too judgemental on Facebook. The people here are amazing and so encouraging!! If anyone would like to add me, feel free to! <3
